fat grip or narrow grip

Curious what you prefer. I have a few small, 4.75" around, gripped bows and a few that absolutely fill my hand up. I like the feel of the small, narrow grips. I have small (spider monkey) hands and wear a size small glove and am thinking of taking a rasp to the sides of a fat gripped riser (it's phenolic and I won't be taking much off) and was wondering what you folks prefer. Are there any differences with the ability to torque between a thin or fat handle?

X lge hands, prefer a large handle but I don't grip the bow so no worries about torqueing.

I like a grip that fills my hand but not what I would call big , just not small .I grip my bow lightly so either way torqe is about the same . I dont think you can get a torqe free grip , just try to torqe it the same way every time .

I like a flat backed handle... I grip it really high and almost shoot off my hand....and kinda big so my fingers dont touch on the wrap around...

I like narrow grips - less than 5" feels best to me. I wear small to medium gloves. I have a couple Predators. The older one is 5 1/8th and the Anniversary is 5" even. I prefer something less than 5" when I can get it.
