Title: Grips for mongoose and other t20style bats
Post by: smilley792 on July 01, 2013, 04:32:46 PM
Where do people get there longer grips from?

I have loads of standard grips that don't quite fit and look stupid.


And the actually mongoose ones are rather expensive and down last very long(very thin and poor quality) I think I'm on my 6th one form them.


Cheers

I use a Black Cat Joker, the handle is only 1 inch longer so it's nowhere near the length of a mongooses handle however, I use spirals and they fit nicely but I have to roll them up and down a bit to stretch it out. Are the mongoose grips noticeably longer than normal ones?

maybe just stick a normal one over the top of a mongoose one? wont look great, but should be ok.

It's considerable longer than normal

And it's raised about an much and half from where it should be there.


It currently has 1normally grip underneath and the goose grip on top. I just want a decent one that lasts a while, without it looking tacky

What about one of these aero grips or a tennis racket grip?

What's an aero grip?

Not a fan off tennis grips.




T be honest I was hoping someone that made t20 bats, say black cats would come along and sell me one. Bit I just found a thread where it says he doesn't sell grips. Doh
