I like the Longnecks as well! They're much more similar to the Sensus Swayze or Eclat Pulsar - which makes sense since they're all made at ODI, have similar diameters, and the same compound.
The Wax feels fatter, especially left uncut as the density increases quite a bit towards the outside. Coming off the Swayze there was a learning curve as the grips feel thicker. I didn't love-love them on my first parking lot test actually. But the damping quality on the trail is higher, I think, because of that increased thickness out towards the end.
Whether you'll like them, like them compared to the ODIs, or LOVE them I couldn't say. I am surprised how much I like them after years of favouring the thinner feeling Swayze and Renthal Ultra Tacky. It's nice how inexpensive push-on grips are in terms of playing with contact points though.
