Post by: Cholrudee on December 23, 2018, 11:24:29 PM
Have any members tried this new grip applicator from Australia?

Can’t see this working When you want 2 grips on.
Don’t think anyone has yet bettered the original grip cone despite its obvious flaws.

Effectively a more sophisticated version of the plastic bag method, but like @Gurujames says that won't work for a 2nd grip - neat idea for single grips mind

If you wanted two grips, couldn't you just do both at the same time?
I.e. just feed one inside the other then put that plastic thing in and whack them over the top of the bat handle?

similar in concept to this which launched years ago and then was abandoned.

One decent grip fine. Big knob fine. Additional grip fail. One thick grip struggled, admittedly this one i reviewed was updated to stop the graphic scratching off.

Seems fine as a quick one grip applicator that is light in the kit bag. Grip cone for me for second grips, unless you travel to cricket with a lubricant...

The best grip applicator for me was the Kwik Grip.

Very hard to get hold of now, but easy to use, two grips no problem.

Agreed, can’t remember which member on here got hold of a batch of them but managed to snaffle one then and still going strong now 👍

Plenty of Kwik Grips in stock from the dealer.

Do you have a contact? A cursory look on Google didn't bring anything up.

Yes - the statement alone doesn't really help. Could you provide a link @Cholrudee

Might not be the best place for this but has anyone tried the GM one? would this be any better?

Post by: Ayrtek Cricket on December 27, 2018, 07:34:35 PM
I’ve got the GM one and bought the Kwik grip too as it’s bigger and therefore easier to fit over larger handles or a second grip 👍
