The manufacturing method for the IOMIC grip is different from the rubber grip. It is called "injection manufacturing." This method produces the product by injecting it into a die at high temperatures (200 degrees Celsius). This produces a product with little weight variation (Error within ±0.5g). In contrast the rubber grip has a high weight unevenness and its surface needs to be scraped after being removed from the die. The product from the injection method has no need to be scraped.

Looking at a rubber grip through a microscope, there are innumerable air holes like a sponge. When looking at the IOMIC grip, its shape is similar to a tightly wrung out sponge. As a result, its friction-resistance-ratio and water-suction ability are high.

The shaft maker tries to make a shaft that suppresses torque and twists. However, a grip with torque reduces the effectiveness of a shaft with little torque.

Normally a soft grip would have a large amount of torque. IOMIC has been successful in making a grip with less torque but still soft. IOMIC grips have a surface design that reduces torque. Also because of the material IOMIC grips are made of, they are made in a depth of 0.3mm as opposed to rubber at a depth of 0.5mm. This reduction in depth helps to reduce torque. The IOMIC X-GRIP is used by many top amateur and professional players. We proudly take that as evidence that our grip can support the 50 m/s head speed that these player reach.
