I think it was someone on here that suggested wrapping the handle on this unit with Tennis Racket handle tape.
It really needs it, as even my huge paws were getting tired of being chewed on by the metal handles on the unit!
I put some Wilson tape on there, and it REALLY makes it a LOT more pleasant; Now I wish I'd done that about 500 rounds earlier!
Have to probably put a turn of Electrical tape on there to get the racket tape to stay, quite doable. For now a rubber band's working.
FAR more pleasant!
