Frankly, I don't know which I was talking about...
It's been a long time since I held the old Mathews grip, but going from memory, the new one on the OB didn't feel THAT much different, so I figured I was safe just lumping them all in together.
I agree on the torque potential, but for some reason, this style of grip makes me more tension free and relaxed. The thin grip on my Diamond makes me concentrate not to grip, as I can't fight the feeling that the bows gonna fly away after the release, even though I've proven to myself there's no way this is gonna happen. I'm sure it's that reassuring feeling the minimal contact of the palm swell provides, kinda like having a finger barely on a wall while balancing on one foot, just seems so much easier to do...
For the record, I haven't had a really good palm swell since I was a bachelor...
