Title: Your grip set up
Post by: Ciaran on June 25, 2011, 11:29:30 AM: Ive been using 2 grips on a bat for ages, but my new seems to have a slightly thicker handle so I am thinking about going down to 1 grip. Ive been playing about with it, and it actually feels brilliant with one grip, but not sure what I should do about it. Has anyone chaned set up and has it effected you?

Post by: darthlewis1 on July 16, 2011, 06:17:32 PM: In an attempt to make an ovalish handle I cut handle length strips from an old grip 2-3 cm's wide and taped them onto the front and back of my handle with an octopus grip over this. It isn't an ideal oval handle but it's better than spending 30 odd quid on a handle change.
