Besides being rubber grips, the Reflex grips are way bigger. I prefer the smaller grips on the 2003 HOYT bows. That " curved bar" serves a purpose! It re-directs vibration away from the grip and allows HOYT to really slim down the grip area, which in my opinion makes for a smaller and more comfortable grip. The T.E.C. series risers are brilliant, they look kind of funny but man do they work. Performance not looks is what it' s all about.
