Actually, they are just tight enough that I had to use more than just an inside bead on the grip, I had to have some on the bar to provide some lube, and that made a big mess. Just in the grip was not enough to keep it sliding. Can anyone confirm that hairspray works with Yoshida Champ grips? These things are a PITA!
