Saw this on twitter being promoted by mark butcher. Seems a good idea has anyone tried it?
-
Might have to get some..
-
Expensive for that it is/does.
You can just use PVA glue and other things to keep your grip in place that are a lot cheaper than this. Or alternatively you could just roll the grip back down again...
-
too much bottom hand = riding up grip
it might be useful to cover the whole handle in it, might give it a go.
-
Bit of plumber's PTFE tape would do the same job wouldn't it?
-
surely its just carpet grip tape to stop rugs etc moving on hard flooring? bit expensive, especially for the length of tape you actually get.
-
It's being done by Piri Piri by the looks of it
Same website designer, bit of promo on twitter, Piri Piri in the videos lol
Decent enough tape but like RedInk says surely its just expensive Carpet Tape?
-
I put double sided D.I Y. Tape around the binding at the bottom of the handle and then roll the grip onto it.
-
I ordered some so will let you know what its like once it arrives
-
Just use a bit of glue and save yourself the money
-
It's a lot more sophisticated than it appears through the video, it isn't actually sticky at all. Thus meaning you don't have to change it when you change your grip. Whilst I'm sure there are other ways to achieve the same result, there's also a reason that a lot of pro players already have this/are enquiring about it.
-
I'm still not really sure how it works if its not sticky?
-
And I thought this was an April Fool....

I hope not as otherwise I'm 6.99 out of pocket!

Welcome Mr GripGrip!

Welcome Mr GripGrip!
Well I'm not actually the owner/inventor, but I do know him, and on Thursday I'll get to see the product first hand as I'm picking up some bats, and am going to nip in and see him en route. Everything I posted previously was gleaned from just chatting to him, and can also be found by reading the web site (I double checked facts before coming on here).

I would assume by the way Butch streches it in the video that its made out of some kind of rubber. I would imagine it works by creating friction from the rubber on rubber.
-
UHU glue would work as well.
-
Saw this in person today, it works perfectly. It is not like any plumbers tape that i have ever seen. We will be stocking it very soon.
-
To answer some of the points raised previously. The advantage over glue is that GripGrip will not cause the grip to disintegrate when removing it, or as is sometimes the case, just in general use. I know that sometimes the only reason for removing a grip is because it is worn and you need a new one, but i find old grips incredibly useful, often to use underneath new ones for people who wants 2 or 3 grips on their bats, but also when cut into little rings, a bat grip acts as a good clamp for bat repairs.

It was actually created by a guy at my club so I can stand up for it's quality! At first I didn't see the point as i'd usually just use tape but it is much tidier and doesn't need replacing loads
-
Mine is working a treat, no slipping of grip as yet :)
Thumbs up for Grip Grip. ;)
-
Have found my grip moving very frustrating when out in the middle, got the grip grip recently, grip hasn't moved at all, good stuff! :)
-
I can also vouch for it. I have no idea how it works, but it does. Really top stuff and a seriously useful piece of gear!

self amalgamating tape does the job boys
