    I also have been using the Ray Allen foam grips for over 10 years and notice no deterioration or "crispiness". As has been said, a new piece of foam when the time comes is cheap and easy.
    Light finger pressure against foam is far more comfortable than against a hard surface.

    If it's to high, can't you just cut a little off the stick?

    Totally, but if you trim the stick as much as you can, and it's still too tall with the grip, then that's a whole 'nother can of worms.

    Does anyone know the diameter of the control sticks offhand; 3/4",7/8",1"?

    I'm going to order my grips and this is the parameter they need

    Awesome, thanks for this Eric! I can't imagine this spec has changed in the Series 7
