Query: there's gotta be better options

Do yourself a favor and buy a pair with padded grips. With good hand grips, you can do things like sit in front of your TV and after 2 minutes you forget you're even using it. Just becomes routine. With these however, I assure you there will not come a time when you forget these are in your hand. The strength of the grip is fine, it's just the handles that are uncomfortable. Adequate at best, but why settle for that?
