yes.. you are right on all this point.. some archers will find it funny feeling but you will feel the difference.

Many thanks for the video!!!! I find the grip to be highly underrated when it comes to coaching. It is so essential to the shot process. Like one of your points, the stock win&win grip has prevented me from properly rotating my shoulder and as a whole my bow shoulder stability has suffered alot. Everyone must do this or at least play around with it!!!

Great video and it seems you can read our minds 😊 customizing my grip… Point on my list for a long time cause I guess, after your brilliant video, I will definitely try it out 👍👍

Awesome video as always! This came at a particularly good time as I've spent the last 2 weeks tinkering with my 3D printer. The 6th or 7th grip is almost as good as the stock grip ;-) Hopefully with your descriptions of how it should feel, and especially what to look for in testing, I'll make one better! Thanks again. Clive.

Aris which is the person behind Rcore offers a great toolbox to customize your grip. It’s absolute great to work with that material, heat it up shape it or add new material to your grip .. absolutely fantastic… heat up again if it’s not perfect and design it to your shape..

Funny, after watching this video I thought; "who the heck would go through all that trouble. It can't make that much difference." Not long after I was watching a video by Jake Kaminski and saw that he had very similar looking putty on one of his grips. Since then I have noticed it on people's grips in a few videos. So I guess it's not so out of the ordinary. I still think you have to be pretty good before modifying the grip comes into play. Hopefully I will appreciate this lesson more in the future !!

I noticed that it makes difference early on if the riser or the hand of the archer is on extreme end. I was totally fine with most of bows but when I got a 1400g riser with super high angle big handle, my whole body refused the bow. After modding grip, everything is happy again.

@@dongleseon8785 Interesting. I have no reference point since I have only shot a compound for the most part other than a few shots with a wood trad bow someone made for me. Both seem fine. I will consider this though if and when my new recurve ever gets here !!

New Ashe, I like it! Not going to lie, mate, the content of your videos has always been great but I could nod off to Old Ashe, droning-on 😉 whatever presentation course you've done has been worth it! Let Jake know 😂

sorry if someone has already said this, but you can also use a file instead of sandpaper or the belt sander Ash has used here. I use a half-round file which gives you both the flat side but also allows use to file in that convex curve.

Would love to see bow manufactures release customizable 3D-print files for their risers

That would be a great idea. Even if it was just the grip attachment area and the grip thickness at the throat. Maybe we could find a forum to share grip files.

Excelent video!

Started over by making a new grip of poplar. I felt that the index finger going over the shelf was a bad thing. My index finger kept getting fletched! Well, I reduced the point weight by 35 gm and arrows started leaving the bow cleaner. May just revisit the original grip which pushed the index up. I am string walking, but due to 34 inch shafts, my crawl is only 1" at 18M. Not much extra limb strain or harmonics I surmise.

I have a new recurve bow on the way and there is no chance I am going to modify/destroy the nice wood grip that comes on my first recurve riser. But I may buy a inexpensive replacement grip to give this a go. Unless of course the one that comes with the bow just happens to fit. I have to believe it can happen and I hope that is the case because I like a nice wood grip. Great instructional video though on proper grip techniques. That part I am all in on !!
