Vibration dampening grips???

Post by The Usual Suspect »

So Is the reason Yamaha's logo is three tuning forks because my hands feel like em for three hours afterwards? Any grips out there that help out in the buzzing hands syndrome?

Gel grips or foam grips might help but not much. I haven't tried it yet but filling the clip on with bird shot and silicone will help a lot from what I've read.

Don't use silicone. The shot needs to be able to jiggle around little to deaden the vibration. Think of how a dead blow hammer works.
