Title: Your all time favourite grip style
Post by: johnnyw on September 09, 2013, 05:43:30 PM: Just thought I would get a bit of discussion going as the forum is very quiet today.

What is your favourite grip style and also what is you favourite colour of grip?

Do like the white Shock Absorbas but thy don't last as long as I'd like.

I do also like the pink chevrons from Salix, they look brilliant on my neon bat haha

Post by: Twelfth Man on September 09, 2013, 06:02:10 PM: I normally go for a plain white grip, as it seems the smartest option. What are people's opinions on these hybrids? I keep going with chevrons or kookaburra matrix ones.

Must have a chevron underneath though.

(Sounds awfully suspicious doesn't it?)

Post by: piethepker on September 10, 2013, 11:12:48 PM: Scale, Though the new GM ones look good, gonna try them out.

I find the Woodworm Scale grips from OO.com.au to be the best scales.

Post by: WalkingWicket37 on September 13, 2013, 07:35:07 PM: There seems to be a lot of love for white grips, does anyone else appreciate the simple look that goes with anything of a black grip?? Another positive is that doesn't require any effort to keep clean haha

Post by: The Palmist on September 13, 2013, 09:55:28 PM: My sg bat from 2011 has a different kind of chevron it is rather thick and very comfy and it has sg embossed all over it. Has to be my favourite.
Has anyone tried octopus without gloves.

Post by: mini998 on September 13, 2013, 10:57:38 PM: White Chevron these days.

Post by: OwzatOllie on October 13, 2013, 10:35:56 PM: I like either a snake grip (indian made I think, the GN ones aren't as soft and comfortable) or a single chevron with a bit of fabric strapping put under the bottom hand for a bit more thickness, realised last season I like a thinner grip as it just feels more comfortable and like I am in control.
