Here is a side by side comparison of the Wide RS with and without the new wooden hand grips. One can clearly see the physical differences between these two units. However, what stood out most while documenting these differences, was the weight. The wooden grips not only feel lighter than their metal counterparts but feel incredibly more stable in my hand.
For those interested in upgrading their Wide RS models from their current metal grips to the wooden grips, we can help.  For $949 USD, Capture Integration will install the wooden grips to any existing Wide RS system.  If you feel this is something you would be interested in, please contact us directly and we will help expedite the installation process.
