RE: form a grip
I' d stay away from it if I was you. I' ve seen several people try it over the years, they always wind up wishing they hadn' t.
One way I get the same grip every time is, I wear a jersey glove. Not the ones with the dot grips on them, just plain old brown jersey glove. My hand slides into the same position, every time, no matter how hot or sweaty my hand is.

RE: form a grip
I would advise against it as well. One of the best points about good shooting form is to have minimal contact between your hand and the grip of the bow. The less contact then the less of a chance that you will torque the riser. The form-a-grip would seem to me to do just the opposite by increasing hand contact.
I would suggest that you continue to experiment with different hand positions. I had a problem with several bows in recent years as I tend to prefer a high to medium grip position but all of the bows in question had grips that were designed for a low wrist setup.
A custom grip might eventually be a possible solution.

I' m with PaBowhunter on this one. I tried for over a year to shoot a low grip. didn' t help, all that happen was my left forearm is sore. I have a medium grip ordered from Lousch to fit my tec bows. Hope it' s high enough if not I' ll get a higher one.

RE: form a grip
Have you tried just removing the grip from it? Alot of shooters do this. Some leave the riser bare (can get cold in the winter!!) and some just put a couple of wraps of tape around it.
Mathews should (I repeat, should) provide different style grips for their bows, but I don' t know that for sure.
I too have a high wrist grip, with an open hand.
