The grip frame angle seems to be a point of subjectivity.
Which angle do you prefer?
Personally, I used to love the Intelliframe, until I made the Chimera. The one thing that always bugged me about the Chimera was the square front on the grip handle...which was made that way to accomodate the WDP wraparounds. And that it was taller than my hand, and I have larger hands.
The Triton frame is a hybrid of the Intelliframe and Chimera. It is for me so far the best of both worlds, and my frame of choice(until something better comes along).

I like the .45 grip the best. I grew up shooting long before I'd ever heard of paintball, .45 just feels natural to me.

For me, the intelliframe is ok. Not great nor bad.
Didn't think I would like the chimera but after getting to check one out I found that I really liked the chimera but I wish it wasn't quite so tall.
Haven't gotten a chance to try the triton yet.
I still like the classic too, expecially with the wood grips.
I like the airwalk pretty well and the airwalk 2 is decent.
I haven't played with the stormwalk yet but I think I will like it as well as emag lowers which are decent.
I haven't tried the Y but love the Z.

By far my favorite frame is the Dye UL 45 frame, though sometimes a regular 45 feels nice because it fills the hand more so..But the Ul is the most comfortable and just awesome.
I've used 45's,90's,and a z frame..but never a hybrid that I can recall. I'd be interested to try one. When I had a mag the Chimera was always appealing to me, but that was mainly aesthetic seeing how i never shot one. Though I don't care for angel 90's..sooo..I assume I wouldn't find any other 90 very comfy either.
Ok..time to sleep...32 hour day = not so much fun.

It depends on how the gun is set up. The offset of the foregrip matching the angle of the grip (and that the grip fits the size of my hand) is what makes it comfortable to me.
I like the hybrid with a 15 deg foregrip. A 45 is also comfortable with this setup. In fact the intelliframe is what I am used to and keep drifting back to. With a smaller tank a vert frame seems most comfortable.
Guess I haven't settled on a permanent group of guns yet so the grip keeps changing.

Chimera for me, nice and comfy, although i like 45's as well. Not quite so much though.

I would have liked the Chimera to have a rounded front of the grip, similar to the Intelliframe.

I really need to get my hands on a Triton. I think it would be my grip of choice. I find myself trying to hold my 45 gripped guns as if they were 86's.
i stick with the standard 45's

Love my Chimera. I am definately a fan of the 90's. However, the Logic one is weird. So Chimera it is. I acutally like how it is so long. I think that and a CP rail, and the tank is in the perfect position (for me that is)

Hey:
For me, I DEFINATELY love hybrid or 86* degree frames. I have yet to use a Triton Frame, which I hope to purchase soon, but the CCM frames I have used are perfect for my hands.
Next favorite would be a 90 degree frame, but I typically find that the frame is too large for my hands, much like RogueFactor.
Finally, would be the intelliframe, although I do not hold it like a 45* degree frame.

I LOVE the 86* angle on CCM frames. Maybe it is just for pump guns but when I had my S6 it seemed to fit and balance so well in my hand.

I prefer hybrid and 90* frames. They just feel/work better for my style of shooting.
