Rubber like grips
I like these grips. They are firm but have a rubber feel to them for a better hand feel. The double sided tape is holding well, just make sure to clean/de-grease the body tube with alcohol before install.
Tip
To get these evenly spaced, trace the bottom of your saber tube on a piece of paper. In the circle draw a perfect hexagram (for 6 piece grips). To do this, go to http://mathcats.com/crafts/hexagrams.html It's very simple. You'll need a draftsman's compass. Cut out a circle and hold it on the bottom of the Graflex tube and mark the points of the hexagram on the side of the tube. That'll give you exact spacing for the grips.
Have a steady hand, and a critical eye
I have these on my US Prophecy V3, and the final result is quite nice. Be careful when peeling the paper away from the adhesive, I had one where the glue wanted to peel away from the rubber. I was able to save it, seems to be holding just fine. Make sure you line up where you want these, set them on carefully to make sure they stay true and straight.
Not bad, not great.
I'm sitting here looking at my lightsaber hilt, and can't help but be displeased. Looking at each grip next to one another, it isn't hard to tell that their lengths aren't completely equal and exact. Some are longer, some are shorter, and they look somewhat strange next to one another. The adhesive is holding up for the most part, but one of the grips barely has any adhesive at all and it looks like I may be forced to super glue it on.
sort of works
they look great on my mara jade style hilt, but the adhesive strip dont hold at all, even after degreasing the blade holder. i had to end up using super glue to keep them in place. other then that....i do recommend this product. 健康多くの寿命 (kenkou ooku no jumyou) (health(good) much life(span))
