BigJ as site bouncer and former NFL player I'm thinking your hands are probably larger than most. The stock Mathews grips are just to bulky for me, and most of the people I know who shoot them change them out too. That being said I think Mathews is a great bow, heck I'm still shootingthe Dren. just not as much. I believe they could benefit by making a smooth speed bow heck with the dampeners and all I am sure it would be a great bow, and in this day and age were speed is king would probably be a great seller.
