Bill is the man! Can't wait to try this out

[@mikecollett8513]

Beautifully presented. The creative juices are flowing. Have been kicking around a similar grip design for a light power TN handle. Clear, Concise, and well thought out. Very nice Sir.

[@michaelward7691]

does one need any safety protection when turning with such luscious locks of golden hair?

[@masteringrodbuilding]

Mostly just a screen or chicken wire fencing...to capture all the flung ladies undergarments. LOL.

Bill what is the diameters and lengths of your transfer of your tranfer forms and how did you make them.

[@ArthriticAngler]

Are there 3k or soft touch sleeve’s available

[@masteringrodbuilding]

The soft touch grips I have seen manufactured use a surface treatment of the sleeve. Don't think you can do a soft touch layup? 3K sleeves are probably out there somewhere. If you find them, you want 1.25" or 1.5" in a LIGHT configuration. Some sleeves are more structural and very, very thick and heavy. Hope this helps!
