Jo Po Vs Switch Grip! What’s The Scoop?!

[@tjcbassbone]

I’ve been using JoPo thumbs since about June, never had any issue. Honestly I didn’t even get a back up until about two weeks ago and I never needed one. Such a dope system.

[@DarkCloudsBowling]

I totally agree. I forgot I had backup been so use to using my “favorite ones” and my fingers were a little swollen before a tournament almost panicked lol

[@daflyinhawaiian2]

I made the switch to JoPo and I wish I had done it a lot longer before. IMO the best system ever with positive locking system!

[@DarkCloudsBowling]

Totally agree!

[@paulmardis1512]

I had the switch grip years ago but switched them out after it broke a couple of times during league. I've been using the IT system every since.

[@DarkCloudsBowling]

How are you liking the IT system?

[@paulmardis1512]

@@DarkCloudsBowling love it. being using it for the last 10 years.

[@HippieP629]

I just got my 1st jopo. I'm 6'3", 279 and can't get the doggone thing out. Are you using the tool?

[@shanenorthrop1969]

I had to buy the tool because I felt like I was going to break my thumb getting it out. Guy at pro shop had no problem getting it out with his thumb lol

[@DarkCloudsBowling]

Yes! I have the tool now. I have some balls that’s easier to get out but the newer balls haven’t gotten the kinks out yet so it’s a bit tough. I use it as needed so to say. Not all the time but it’s definitely good for that just in case moment.

@@shanenorthrop1969 lol That's when you look at him thinking "What kinda steroids are you on man?" 😆

[@HippieP629]

@@DarkCloudsBowling I feel ya. From a couple of the review videos, guys just twist it out so easily. I thought mine was defective. I got the tool a few days ago. Thanks for your input

[@shanenorthrop1969]

@@DarkCloudsBowling I was thinking of lubing mine a bit to see if it would make it easier to get out but I have the tool so not really necessary I guess

[@kylesweeting6373]

I just got me a jopo thumb slug I love it

[@DarkCloudsBowling]

Definitely love it! Had some issues at a tournament and that was because I didn’t change over two balls 🤦🏽‍♀️ shame on me. But best believe everything had the same thumb now

[@Road2PBATour]

Never had an issue with my thumb swelling or it not feeling the same between balls. It must be common for people's thumbs to change sizes during bowling but I never have had any issues and it saves me money at the pro-shop.

[@DarkCloudsBowling]

Yes. It’s a very common thing. You’re one of the lucky ones. That definitely saves you a bunch of money as it pertains to your thumbs

[@heartfanjim01]

Same here. I can go from one ball to another without any issues. I kie to open the thumb hole enough to allow white tape to be used. I like it for grip. My thumb gets a little slick because I wash my hands a lot at work. The white textured tape allows me to put minimal pressure on the thumb to hold onto the ball.

[@PipeWagonTV]

Is one softer to the touch than the other?

[@DarkCloudsBowling]

They do have a diffent feel. The Jo Po is a little smoother in my opinion.

[@3alexx689]

I am using the switch grip since 5 years and the only think i can say about it its shit exspacially whene you are are playing often.

[@sriley064]

JoPo is a far better system and the grips don't sand your thumb with the abrasive crap made by turbo

[@DarkCloudsBowling]

Yes I haven’t had any issues with it yet and you’re right the material it’s made from is softer

[@ericw6043]

The Jo-Po is no different than the IT.

[@DarkCloudsBowling]

Oh okay. Thanks for letting me know. I haven’t used the IT system but I heard it was good as well.

[@paulmardis1512]

Yelp, the IT is better because it does not require a lot of turns to get it locked in. The switch grip is known to break.

[@ak7-10]

The IT system in not good. I used to use the IT system for over 5 years, and I had plenty of issues and a few broken Ball It inside the ball. JoPo is so much better! All the pro shops in my area went to the JoPo system because it's just a better product! ​@@paulmardis1512

[@kylesweeting6373]

No it does not break I had it for 4 years and it never broke

[@kylesweeting6373]

Vise it is the worst one out of the turbo ultimate and jopo don’t get the vise it it’s sucks donkey balls
