The grip on my Drenalin is fine.
I think they did listen, the grip on the new bows seem less bulky than the ones on my old FX and Switchback.

Honestly if your torquing a bow because of the grip, it's not the grips fault............that would be error on the shooters part. I find it hard to believe that if using proper grip on a bow that a grip caused one to torque it.

With that said for whatever reason the trend seems to be slimmer and slimmer grips, and Mathews has also certainly moved in this direction with the Drenalin. I did changethe grip on my XT last year because I liked the looks of my torqueless better, but in all honesty I shot the same before and after the grip.

If I were to be shooting a Drenalin I don't think I would even bother changing to be honest..............it is quite a bit slimmer.

I personally like minethat was one of the things that sold me on it when I traded my Hoyt was the grip felt alot better.

I'll admit that it took some time for me to get use to shooting with a smaller grip, but I don't mind it at all. I don't think I shoot any worse---or better for that matter. It was just a matter of getting use to the change.

I like everything about my Switchback. I have been getting the itch to buy a new bow again simply because I have had this one for 4 seasons now. I bet I wind up just keeping what I got though. No problem with the grip here.

I assume it all comes down to personal preference. I've heard so many folks talk about the "2x4" grips on Mathews bows, but personally, I love the grip on my Drenalin. It just seems to "fit" me. I'm accurate with it, I like it, it matches the bow and keeps the bow all original. Good enough for me.
If I didn't like the grip, however, I wouldn't destroy it by sanding it down. I'd purchase a new one and keep the stock grip so that if I did decide to trade the bow, I'd be able to make it "original" again just in case that was what someone else wanted.

I'm now shooting my 5th Mathews and I've always liked the grips. I've shot the skinny grip bows and didn't like the way that they felt. To each his own.

Rick,

Are you saying the grip won't make a difference b/c you are not really supposed to "grip" it?
I shot my dad's XT and the thickness made it a little harder to rest it properly on my thumbpad.
The bigger grip made me want to grab it. Maybe it doesn't make a difference to an
accomplished archer, but it seems to me that the skinnier grips promote a healthier "grip."

I am a somewhat small guy, but I love the grip on my switchback xt. It just seems to fit perfectly in my hand.

I like them
