Griot's Garage Backing Plate Engagement Hooks

[dlc95]

Specifically their plates for the G8 and G9.

I recently purchased a Meguiar's plate because they were easier on the loop material, but they changed them since my last one, and it's worse than the Rupes plates.

Are those Griot's hooks as grippy as say, the Rupes?

Thanks!

I can't compare to any Rupes machines, but I have no issues with the backing plate on my G8 or G15. Plenty of holding power with the pads I've used. I use Griots pads on my G8 and Rupes and LC pads on the G15.
