I've got big paws and love the Intense/ODI Lock On grips.

Nice semi (s****) flange (double s****)

I've been running these for a while now and they have been great.

Specialized Enduro XL grips are pretty good.

+2 for the Superstars, however they're 15mm wider than a standard grip so make sure you've got enough room for them on your bars.

ODI Rogues, SSC's don't last, going by a friends experience

ODI Rogues, SSC's fall to piece in minutes going from a friends experience.

+1

It's not quite minutes, but they don't last that long. They're also VERY slippy in the wet for some odd reason (rubber compound maybe?), and too long for their own good.

There's no substitute for ODI Rogue's IMO, but then again, I also don't have the world's largest hands either.

The superstar grips are great for riders with big hands. I got 5 sets of them from Fort William World cup (fiver a set).

Thin grips give me terrible arm pump when downhilling. These grips remedied it.

I've found ergons pretty good actually - look a bit funny but stop the problems I've had with normal grips.

i got some superstars.
i thought they were ace to start with, but now i think they are probably a bit too thick and a bit too wide.

used em 3 times, and wanna sell/swap em if any big handers are interested.
