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.
