I live by ODI Longnecks but I’ve never had hand/finger pain before..

Are you death gripping? Cause if that’s the cause no grip will help. But ODI Rouge has been my goto for awhile.
The ones I find to cause the least hand fatigue are ESI extra chunky. In cold weather they are also good insulation from cold alloy bars if that’s what you’re using
In my experience your brakes make the biggest difference with hand pain, I tried a bunch of different brakes because half way down longer runs my hands would hurt so much that I had to literally peel my fingers off the bars. I’ve settled on Hayes Dominions and it’s made a huge difference. Obviously that’s way more expensive than different grips so it wouldn’t be my first choice to try to fix your problem, but it really made rising more enjoyable for me which is hard to put a price on
I have had issues with my fingers as well, tried a bunch of grips and I settled for rev grips, super expensive for you know… grips but they have made a night and day difference after a long ride, specially after hitting chunky stuff
I did a ton of wrist and hand training instead of trying to find the perfect fit. Bouldering stretches and strength training make your arms bulletproof on the bike. I highly recommend it as an off season sport.
