Which fits your hand better? I like my Infinities, I like my Tostens….I really like working with Kevin at Tosten because he can customize things for you with enthusiasm, whereas the Infinity guy can be a little bit of the “Soup Nazi” type if you ask for changes….

Kevin keeps innovating, while the Infinity grips are the same now as they were twenty years ago.

I know you didn’t ask
But pioneer is worth a look again as well if you hadn’t considered.
Skylor has started it up again and is super keen and helpful.
I’m very happy with mine. It’s a fair bit chunkier than the Tosten (original version not the military one) that I had in my RV7.
The PCG fits my hand really nicely but I’ve never really considered them side by side so hard to be definitive. I don’t have big hands.
Cheers

I would also consider looking at Pioneer, Kitplanes just did an article on them.

Richard, would you happen to have a picture of your Pioneer grips in your plane? If so, I'd sure appreciate having a look.

Thanks!

I've always liked the Infinity grips and have put them in both of my RVs over the years. Paul is right about the owner (he's a bit of a "quirky" character - avoid any political discussions and you should be OK), but the grips are worth an awkward phone call.

Thanks guys---well I had the conversation with JD and found him both entertaining and really helpful. He was a top gun instructor so shouldn't be a surprise he is not a type B personality! Anyways overall experience with him was good

I fitted the Infinity grips in my RV9A and to be honest I love them and think they are great Value for Money. I understand the Tosten ones are highly regards but a bit pricier.
