Grip Sizing with Cardboard

After playing with balsa wood (link) under the overgrip for a while, a friend was lamenting the bevels felt too sharp and too hard.

He wanted something a little softer, but yet still gave him a clear feel of the bevels. Leather added too much weight, so I decided to try using cardboard instead.

The bare pallet measured 4⅛".

A single layer of cardboard added ⅛" to become 4¼".

An overgrip added another ⅛" and brought it up to his desired 4⅜".

For the butt, I used a piece of foam to provide a softer feel.

It's a very simple DIY job. Good for those who like the feel of bevels and wanted to keep the weight down.
