Title: Best grips?
Post by: FraserJames123 on November 07, 2021, 12:09:20 PM
What are the best plain white grips that have the most grip but don’t break the gloves?

Chevrons always a safe bet.

GM Matrix in plain white are a good bet. Plenty grip.

Personally found them okay but they do seem to wear at your gloves very quickly.

I love a hex grip, but because you mentioned not ruining a pair of gloves, I might stay away from them if I were you

Love hex grips, don’t use anything else now. No bat slipping even when hot during long innings, hadn’t noticed any increased wear on my gloves

I have used the GM matrix grips for years, but moved to the terrain grip as I found the quality to be better on them, i.e. The last longer.

On the topic of hex grips, it’s worth picking the GM ones as I’ve had the non-branded ones and they were very bad quality

I started using hex grips at the start of this year and they are fantastic.  I have previously used octopus grips and the nex grip is less hard wearing on gloves I have found

I liked terrain grips... but have found myself going back to chevron thin lite grips as I like thin handles at top.

Where would you get the gym hex grips from?

In theory, a GM retailer. But you could try the forum sponsors first. I know they’re great sellers though, so it’s worth a call to them if you can’t see any on the websites

Yep I stuck a terrain grip on two of my bats last year and they have been nice.
