Well, I never buy the same grip twice, and seeing how everyone likes ODI's, I figure I'll buy... everything that isn't ODI longnecks. Haha! And review them. Because I'm gay like that.
I either used Suave hair spray or Duro Spray Adhesive to get the grips on. Just a tidbit of information.
Anyway, on to the reviews:
Black market Adam Haucks grips: (everyone seen this coming)
Feel: 8, did not slide at all unless i wanted it to, like for barspins, good grip
Adhesion: perfect, stuck to bars very well, no motorcycling
Design: Looks okay, stuck well to hands but wasn't too grippy.
Durability: 8, lasted a good 6 or so months.
Made by ODI.

Proper bikes grips:
Feel: 7, felt weird and dry for some reason though
Adhesion: eh, i needed to let them sit for a while, but they're good after that.
Design: similar to odi but doesn't feel the same
Durability: Excellent

Animal Edwins:
Feel: Good, they vary from soft to hard with different colors, i had Red.
Adhesion: Superb, used hairspray.
Design: cool looking, grippy, forms to hands easy. Comes in many colors!
Durability: well, ... it wasn't durable.
Schwinn grips:
Feel: Okay, fairly grippy but thin.
Adhesion: Took a lot of glue but eventually stuck
Design: Diamonds, kind of neat and felt okay on the hands, don't wear out too fast either.
Durability: going good on my spare, considering the grips are taken off of a bike chained to a fence for two/three months.

Feel: Excellent, nice on the hands but material gave me dry hands.

Eastern Elephant grip
Feel: Eh, they're hard and.. suck ish.
Adhesion: Superb, no problems.
Design: not grippy on the hands, kind of good for barspins and such but if you want good grip not for you
Durability: They chunk before they wear out, the material is ass. Probably what an elephant's skin feels like.

Adhesion: awful, motorcycled no matter what i did.

Odyssey Griswalds:
Feel: Grab some of your hair, thats it. Awful in my opinion.
Adhesion: They stuck to the bars very well.
Design: Hairy. Did not like.
Durability: Hairy. Wore out easily so thats good if you like hairy things that wear out.
