Fine!
Pros: Delivery was pretty speedy, product working fine so far - had one on for about three weeks now.
Cons: Only one came in the post initially, but got a second one immediately after a phone-call.
Other: Seems quite expensive for what it is, but probably won't have to replace them for a while.

Interesting solution to a common problem.

Pros: Hhhmm - interesting! The thumbgrip on my bow was too hard and bulky so I took it off and replaced it with this. Although still bulky the grip has plenty of soft give so overall an improvement
Cons: Not sure about its longevity, being soft foam-but you do get 2. Bit of a tussle getting it on but staying put so far. Takes a bit of getting used to.

Pros: Price
Cons: It broke trying to get it on. I followed the instructions but maybe this one was faulty. There were two in the pack but I didn't want to risk my bow as you have to unscrew the frog and it is very fiddly to put on. I might have another try at some point but not sure I can be bothered.

It has given me better results than rubber tubing

Pros: A wonderful alternative if the thumb leather on your bow isn't quite grippy enough. In my opinion it does a better job than surgical tubing and other types of rubber tubing because it lets your thumb make contact with the stick.
Cons: It should be made a little more robust as after two weeks of use, my thumbnail has actually caused a split in the grip which will get bigger and bigger rendering it eventually useless.
