Ever try a Loesch no-torque grip.
Certainly, there are grips that help reduce torque. Are there any that can absolutely eliminate it? If there is, I'm willing to look.

The least hand you can put on the bow, the better off you are. As a pro-shooter once said (paraphrased), "If a riser could be designed with a razor-thin grip, torque would almost be eliminated."
I am aware that with alum/mag risers, some shooters remove the grips and apply a thin piece of material to the grip area. I personally like and shoot best with a narrow grip.

I'm with you straight arrow, that the grip would not eliminate torque produced from the cable guard. But, there are bows out there such as the Martin that has a shoot through system that eliminates that problem also.
You are correct that the Loesch grip eliminates right/left torque, which is the most common type of torque, and even with this grip, a steady wrist and hand position is still a must. Consistancy is key. However, torque produced by grip pressure produced by the hand is practically eliminated (right/left).
I also believe what c903 stated is 100% correct. There are many that grip their bow off the riser and only use the fleshy part of the palm as the contact point.

There is no such thing as absolutely perfect, every shot. The amount of torque may be very, very, very small, but it's still there.
