    I tried three other styles from other companies and they were either too thick or too thin. This was spot on.It took me a couple of minutes to get the grip right. There is a large swell and a wide notch below it that makes it seem like both gripping fingers should go below. As soon as I shifted one finger to the center of the swell (see picture), it played like it was built for me. Rolls are perfect and completely controlled. Regular play never gets loose. I love it.
