The Suregrip wasn't good for slants but I do know guys who took the outside wing off for slants but I think it was always better for fast hammer-on stuff. the cool thing is you could heat the plastic grips and get them to custom fit your own hand.
That particular bar was later without the tapper and I always liked the weight. Tempted to buy it myself as a back up.

| I think this design was very good as well for handicapped players or folks who have lost feeling or control in their left hand. |

Anyone who has one and is generous enough to psrt with it would be greatly loved and some what compensated  I have severe hand issues and this may solve them!
I've tried different bars but still have grip issues.
perhaps suggestions on how t add something similar to my lap dawg or gs steel?
Due to my issues i wrist slant so it is not an obstacle for me. |
