Which Grips?

The grips on the Nuke are, quite frankly, shocking; too thin for my big hands and very firm. What grips do people recommend and why?

    Lizardskins Peaty. Because they say Cheers.

    And are sticky, comfy last well.

    And say Cheers.

    I like ODI Rogues. They're relatively large diameter compared to most grips and feel pretty good to ride, with fairly soft rubber on the outside.

    Ta. I've looked at both and the Rogues seem to be closer to what I'm looking for.

    I've also looked at Ergon GE1 grips, any opinion on them?
    Interesting what the top review on CRC says:
    I had some Nukeproof Element Half Waffle grips on my bike, but after 1 run at Bikepark Wales my fingers were numb, couldn't hold on to the bars properly. So I popped into the shop there and bought a pair of these, they're fantastic. Hand buzz went away almost immediately and I got 4 more runs in with no issues at all.
