Always like bigger softer grips, normally have ODI Rogue but currently using Ergon GE and I really like the single inboard clamp so want that on new set. Not convinced about the angley design and they have worn alot quicker than ODIs.

Any recommendations?

I was going to suggest ODI Rogues, but guess that's not much help.

Deathgrips come in two diameters & have a single clamp.

I had the deathgrips and didn't like them.

Now running Joystick Imprints and they're great, decent size, nice and soft but still grippy. On sale at blacks for £11.20 at the moment

Death grips Large soft race version the current fave for me. Like  having micro suspension on your bars.

Super comfy.

I have just got some Oury lock ons to try. They are big and the rubber is soft.

Try the thick/soft death grips.

Not sure how i'm the first to suggest ESI Chunkys?

Cheap, never move, grip gloveless and with gloves, quarter of the weight of any competing brand...

+1 ESIs. I prefer the extra chunky though.

Specialized Sip XL also worthy of a look.

Another vote for DeathGrips. They feel a little different to regular grips but plenty of cush.

Plus they come in a wide range of colours, which is worth it in itself!

I thought the death grips feel fantastic but they are done after the first crash. They would be perfect if they had a separate end cap rather than one piece rubber that just comes off.

Ergon GD1 are very well made and durable but for some reason they made then really too long to work with some brake levers.

ODI do grips that have just one clamp inboard now.

I’ve got some ergon ga2s which are very comfortable and some bergtec bartenders on the other bike, very grippy in the wet but no shock absorbing properties.
