Mob M-80 Grip
« on: October 21, 2021, 08:15:04 PM »
What ever happened to it? I’ve asked mob about it, and they never even bothered to respond. I’m sure I’m not alone in my love of m-80. Anyone got the insider info? Why won’t mob make m-80 anymore?

I’ve started buying Jessup as a result of the already documented quality issues from mob as of late. I’d love to get my hands on some more m-80 though. I’ve got a few sheets left, but they won’t last forever.

Discontinued a while ago. Try Miles grip, similar feel to m80

I dug it a lot when it was around.
It felt pretty damn close to Jessup, but like, Mob’s take on it.
So yeah, just get Jessup, it’s pretty much like the same thing, just without the perforations and it’s less stiff.

I’m disappointed to find out it’s no longer done, I’ve gone back to rubbing down old mob

Probably in the minority here, but I think M-80 was garbage and I'm glad it's gone. Most shops would offer that when regular Mob was out. No, I want the real shit! And no I don't want stupid Grizzly or Jessup? Wouldn't go near Jessup if you paid me to ride it..

No one asked for this opinion but I finally found a thread to express it. Please ignore, kook, or do whatever with my unnecessary 2 cents here  ;D


That said, I did have friends that liked it and I alway referred them to sand down their normal mob or get Shake Junt's plainer graphics to achieve a similar M-80 feel.

I remember the one time I had it, I liked it. But, I hated the diecut it had that said MOB. Am I mistaken, or did it only come with the diecut?

I used to love M-80 but the Jessup Ultragrip is the best grip I’ve ever used.  Probably wouldn’t have tried it if M80 was still around so thanks Mob!

Never tried M80, but on that note is there a dedicated thread about grip? We have one for everything else

Being glad it’s gone hurts my heart!  ;D

For real though, I’m glad you weighed in on it. Unpopular opinion, I also like Shake Junt grip, but I hate Grizzly.

Well he said 46 feet, not $46. I don't see anything on sale, but it's easy to imagine that something was, at one time.

Take your pick of widths and lengths here
