Good Value and Increases Bow Hold Comfort

Pros: The grip was easy to apply. It is relatively discreet on the bow Used on 2 bows and both are far more comfortable to use Is also protecting the leather pad Has not had any noticeable (to me as a beginner) effect on the bow weight. Although it is in contact with (and slightly over) the frog it does not affect tightening and loosening the bow hair.
Cons: Nothing - does the job it has been designed for at a very reasonable cost
Other: Vastly improved thumb comfort on both a carbon fibre bow I was considering not using any more and on my regularly used pernambuco bow with the added bonus of protecting a small area of wear on the leather pad.

Pros: Useful little bow addition which cushions the thumb and allows the other fingers of the hand to relax more. Improves technique.
Cons: Can be slightly tricky to fit onto bow. The fit is quite tight but a little bit of washing-up liquid acts as a suitable lubricant to slide the thumb grip into place.
Other: As to be expected, a wonderfully efficient service from String Zone.

Pros: This is a great little tool to install on a bow with a small/cheap leather grip. It does help to stop the bow from slipping especially if your hand becomes sweatty...
Cons: It does not look as smart as a beautiful thick leather grip.... But it does the job very well and it is much cheaper.
Other: Very easy to install if you put a tiny amount of vaseline on the edge to help it slide in position.
