A few months back I changed to a low anchor (index finger on chin, "C" mandible, string on tip of nose and lips) I am really happy with the anchor but started to feel a lack of connection with the grip and that I really had to concentrate to maintain consistent grip location and vertical pressure.
I have never found a grip that would work for me and have been shooting off a bare riser for years. I have tried every grip out there but my hands are simply too small and too thick. I have tried best style grips and have modified them to no good end. I recently tried Jager's Best 2 grip with the same general feeling of insecurity and of the bow sliding out of my hand.
Something Rusty said the other day stuck in my mind. "high anchor, low grip, low anchor, high grip" I had been really locked into my grip with my higher anchor, maybe I needed a narrow, high grip, with a best style angle for the palm pad.
So out came the tools.......table saw and chop saw and a bit of Walnut. First I tried straight wedges of different sizes and found a good wrist angle. Then inspired by the best grip I added a 10 degree angle relief for the palm pad.
