    also... how about a little more angle?
    it's not much more but I think that a little bit more angle would be nice. (the attached image was just an idea i had for the z-roller to compare up to the g-grip)

          The way in which most people will hold the grip makes finger grooves in the grips pointless. Use panel grips and move on with the design. DYE grips aren't THAT important.

              Dang, I was going to say that.

              if you turn the grips around, it looks like it would fit perfectly. Wasn't the first insperation for the y-grip a turned around frame?

                Don't know if I'm close or not but I think the reason AGD is going with this design is because the original Z-Grips had too much of an angle to them and made it hard for some people to get used to. I think this design will be a bit more popular just since it's not sloped as much as well as it appears that you don't have to use a forgrip extender with it. Dang, it looks like I may have to buy one now.

                  Y-grips.

                  I like them and think the grip panels are fine. Any chance of making one at a later time for the X-Mag? Ok so that may be difficult. I would think if you also produced them for something common like the cocker you may be able to gain added business if there wouldn't be too much trouble re-tooling for that.

                          Here's my idea. Just move the trigger gurad a bit. Then you can move the stickies around and change the position of the screw holes until it fits correctly Just move it up a bit so the bottom of the grip doesn't hang off the bottom of the frame. I made this in paint so it looks pretty bad but you get the idea...right?

                          So...what do ya think?

                            Judging from the drawing they want to use the stock I-frame trigger and blade trigger in this badboy... so moving the trigger guard like that would not work to your advantage.

                            I totally dig it!!! WOW!

                            Can they be made for the Emag???

                            Its times like this that I really hate how I'm stepping away from paintball until I graduate in 04...

                              according to tom, unfortunately no. he said the position of the solenoid is optimal in the position it is in the emag. incorporating it into the y-grip would mean the solenoid would protrude out of the frame.
