started riding last year, so i'm still a new rider...

i had the same problem, and ya, i was gripping the bars too tight and i had some glove material bunching up also...

ISO grips help with the bunching i find... and relax the grip... treat it like a steering wheel, or a golf club. No need to white knuckle it there... so why on the bike?

I had a the white knuckle thing going for a long time and could not break myself of it tell I bought a 10.00 throttle rocker and started using my palm on the throttle which forced me to open my hand up a bit. And to my surprise when I found a cure for the throttle hand the other hand just relaxed too.. But get a set of good fitting gloves to by all means

Thank you, I find myself relaxing a little bit more every time I ride.
