Interesting take on golfball grips. You should get some G10 Gunner Grips from Simonich or Nighthawk. Of course those are insanely aggressive grips. (My fave!)

its actually kinda hard to describe, it definatly gives more of a positive grip but doesnt really feel all that different than a smooth fronstrap. It turned out like i wanted, my hand is picky and most checkering jobs are a little too aggressive for me.

you know I've actually been looking at those, just wonder if it'd be "too much" on the golfball dimple, meaning would it just look funny?

Re: 1911 frontstrap dimpling job
Go with smooth linen micarta grips. Will give your hand a good grip with out being overly aggressive.

Good luck
