Grips: The Martinoli grips are made from synthetic rubber and come in 7 colors. The Stämpfli grips are made in dark orange and from a natural rubber. Both have the same knurled finished and have the same durometer (hardness) material. Both last about the same length of time although the Stämpfli grips are more vulnerable to UV so if left out they may degrade more quickly. When the Ståmpfli’s degrade they crack and get sticky. When the Marinoli grips degrade they loosen up and wear out more quickly at the thumb end. Both grips should be thoroughly washed before using as the mold release on the surface can make them feel slippery initially.
