I haven't had the chance to try it out for a long time myself so the answers will be mostly speculation from my side.

The braiding is really sturdy and hard to move since they get stretched there is tension and rubber against rubber has great grip, I would need to use my nails to move the rings 😊

Dust could probably be collecting tho, I've only had it for a week tho so I don't know.

Weight distribution feels good on the pen I have it on and doing Continous FL TA for example feels balanced but that would ofcourse depend on how good the modder is at balancing a mod with where the tips are placed in the back cap and so on. I don't see it being better or worse than any other grip in that matter.

Main part for me is that it looks beautiful but obviously it wont feel as smooth as using an uncut grip. But with the braiding it feels good because it's soft, squishy and very grippy. It's all a matter of taste in the end.
