What grips do you guys use?
I normally use a spiral grip (with another random grip underneath) but like the idea of having a single thicker grip like this- http://www.gm-cricket.com/range/accessories/shockabsorba-grips.aspx (http://www.gm-cricket.com/range/accessories/shockabsorba-grips.aspx)
-
octopus grip underneath, chevron on top. Feels like I have a good amount of grip but the octopus below makes it feel slightly soft to grip. Perfect combination for me.
I have used the shock absorba before but found that the bottom hand bits tend to get torn easily.
-
Personally I just use two chevron grips at the moment :).
-
Am enjoying the Puma spiral on 1 and a half chevrons.
-
All sorts at the moment. Really depends on the original handle of the bat.
For example on the SS I have one scale grip seems too thin but two grips seem too thick so need to use a thin/ cheap grip underneath.
MB LE, Octopus underneath and hybrid on top feels just right.
-
Chevron on bottom, Scale on top.
-
gray nicolls half moon grip ~
-
1 Plain +1 Octopus on one and 2 Scales +1 plain on another
-
Standard gm factory grip underneath, octopus on top for me. I like my bat to feel chunky in my hands so 2 grips works for me.
-
I use the HRS octopus grips !

Would anybody be willing to post a sort of intro to cricket grips ?
I do not have the slightest clue as to the difference between a chevron, octopus, spiral etc. is. Obviously, I can google the various grip names to get an idea of what they look like but that doesn't help me any.
What kind of batsmen for instance like a Chevron vs. an Octopus, or how does a Chevron feel like vs. a spiral ?

aeell, you have seen the grip database. You need to find which you prefer. For which I would say, if you can, pop in to a cricket shop or top and try the different bats as they have the different grips on.

Scale grips are the best as I have tried a good few over the recent years
-
Using a spiral coil grip at the moment prefer this as its slightly thicker hence I don't feel like I have to have two grips on and add to the weight of the bat
