No waffle, they tend to tear my hands apart. Spider Grips are amazing IMO.

I just looked up Spider Grips. Tell me what you like about 'em, Bleak.

They are soft and very tacky and don't seem to tear apart my hands like the waffles tend to do. The only bad thing I've found with the Spider is that they tend to get destroyed quick when they've been dropped. Both mine are totally shredded right now. I'm going to try out those Pro-Grips though, people seem to really like those as well.

Running the Renthal kevlar grips which come half waffle. Been on the bike for over a year. I've ridden in Florida sand with them and now up in Tn. on a motocross track on my property. We ride every weekend and they have just started to show wear on them. Seems the more i ride with them the tackier they get and softer.

The Pro Taper Pillow Top grips are my personal favorites.

Half waffle - Pro-Grip 791
I don't know why they even make any other grips.

The 791's are the shizz-nit.

Ran Spider all last season. I liked them, but am trying Renthal full diamomd this year, amazing grip with them.

I never liked waffle, seem to get less grip and more blisters.

I've been using pro taper dual density grips with no waffle and they work well with gloves but, I may try the spiders next time. I like to change my grips about every two months during a hard riding season. Were I live we ride nine months out of a year. Who are you guys getting the spider grips from?

+1 Pro-Taper pillow tops.

Used to run Pro-Grip 791's, but I found I like the pillow tops more, and my dealer actually stocks them.
