Cleaning bat grips
« on: May 08, 2015, 02:37:40 AM »
Anyone have any advice on how to clean a bat grip ? I have a shock absorba I'm extremely attached too. I've tried soap, windex and all sortsa cleaning solutions but just can't seem to get into the groves...

You can use white toothpaste apply to the rubber and rub with fingers.

I would, if I could find one. Seems like no one stocks the Shock Absorba anymore.

Shoot - wish I knew this last week when I got that Juggernaut delivered.

Absolutely loving the bag btw - worth every penny and every second of a near 2 year wait.

Glad to hear it mate, can send over some grips, a small number would probably go cheaply in an envelope. A bulk order would be be better value but may cost a bit more in postage.

Use sandpaper on old grips to rough them up. Brings them back to life.
