A very useful device to increase player comfort and bow control. This simple soft foam rubber tube fits over the bow thumbpiece and is very popular with professional players. It can be moved back and forth to allow for changes in hair length and to achieve an individual fit.

Worth a try
Pros: This is a great little device to help hold the bow, particularly if you suffer from sweaty hands. It certainly gives you confidence that your bow hold is more secure and helps to have a more relaxed grip without worrying about dropping it. It can be a bit fiddly to fit, particularly if you bow already has a fairly thick thumb grip. Follow the instructions carefully and exercise a bit of patience is the key.
Cons: A bit pricey for what is a small bit of foam, but it does the job.
Other: Excellent service from the String Zone as usual. Don't bother paying for nex day delivery. Standard is quick enough.

Lives up to its name!
Pros: I've always had trouble with my right hand slipping up the bow to the left. Not sure why. Anyway, my teacher suggested the Suregrip, and it has made a big difference :-)
Cons: What's not to like! OK, it took a bit of sliding on, but that was soon sorted.

A quick fix to damaged leather
Pros: It’s comfortable, thumb not tired after practice, helpful for learning new way of bow hold.
Cons: Difficult to put on, maybe it’s the shape of my bow, it’s very hard to slide in over the leather part. I like the fact it’s very soft and comfortable but I hope it’s thinner.

Worth a try!
Pros: Ordered these a while back because I started to find that when I played for continuous long hours my fingers would start feeling uncomfortable and unstable in my bowling hand. The pads are really soft and provide a good grip.
Cons: Hard to apply onto the bow.
