the ends of my carbon fiber paddle are bigger diameter than the shaft my 78 year old hands had a hard time getting the grips past that point but i did it. once it was on the shaft, i took 8 small diameter skewers and inserted 4 on each end as far as i could get them. dripped water into the openings and rotated the grips on a little at a time. the skewers made for less contact area. pushed and rotated the far end a little then matched the lower end 1/4 inch at a time. it took a while but they went on nicely and i have no doubts they are slip proof. they seem extremely comfortable.

Great grip and easy to use on your paddle, water proof silicone too. Worth the product. Highly recommend for kayaking

Very tough to get on, even when using soap and water to lubricate the handles and kayak shaft but once on they work well, comfortable and seem to be durable (haven’t had them long enough to really put them to the test).

Exactly as photo shows. I chose the fluorescent. They definitely glow in the dark. They are a bit heavier than anticipated and harder to put on than usual but with a bit of wd40 or olive oil they will slide right on, but the quality is up to par. The texturing on them is perfect and if they get wet you will still be able to easily hold on to them. Definitely buying a set for each of my paddles

The grips seem well made and appear to be comfortable. I was not able to slide the grips on the shaft of my Werner Kalliste carbon straight shaft paddle. For me, impossible to slide on to shaft. The limited instruction leaflet suggested just wetting thoroughly the grip and shaft. I was able to only slide the grip part way onto the shaft. Wouldn't slide farther. I tried wetting the shaft more by sliding a screwdriver between the grip and shaft and pouring more water. Didn't help. Tried spraying shaft with cooking oil. Didn't help. Tried heating the grip with warm water. Still no success. Finally gave up but couldn't remove the grip either. Ended up removing the grip by cutting it off. The grips might work on a paddle shaft of different composition but would not work for me.

The product was made out of great material. Then, when I tried to get them on my kayak paddles, the installation was impossible. I tried everything all lotion everything and I could not get them to slide down on my paddles enough to screw them together. I was very disappointed because they were just too tight to get on. Also I have the standard size petals.

Thick. Work great. Once they go on I can't move. Get them where you want on first try.

They were fairly easy to get on and adjust, suggest doing it while the poles wet or using some hand sanitizer, the fit is very tight as it should be. The grip is great even when they are wet, they look great and I have no concerns that they will continue functioning for the next seasons to come
