Smaller grip is more inducive to good shooting. Skinny grip... less hand torque. Check most of the pros. They take the grips off and shoot off the riser.... some maybe with a wrap of rubber or something. The grip should rest on your thumb pad, not in your palm. I just shot one of the new skinny grip Bowtechs at Lens. I love the grip. I love the way the bow shoots. I love the ABSOLUTELY NO handshock. It's noisier than my Darton Maverick.
