Looks a little hokey to me...And they don't explain how the grip works either. They just say it eliminates 100% of bow torque.....Pricey too...

Looks to me like the grip moves on the sealed ball bearings. I would think loosening your grip would be better than a 100 dollar bill to reduce torque.

The only correct way to stop from torquing the bow is correct hand placement. Run the grip down your lifeline, your hand should extend at a 45 degree angle out from the riser, and if there is a little bit of a shelf like on a Mathews, you can rest your thumb under that. Be sure not to push too much into the heel either. I think a quick way to check is paper tuning!

Is an inch worth a $100 ? Practice is free. If it worked that well, I'm sure you'd see some pro shooter's (SHOOTERS, not hunters) names on that website. And I'm not quite sure I'd a want a grip on my bow that looks like in can move.
