Bat Grips - What do you prefer???
« on: March 12, 2011, 11:45:15 AM »

just wondered what grips people prefer...i'm currently using a GM sock absorber one one and a standard octopus on the other.

do you go for a light grip or one that feels better??

I'm not fussed tbh. I have an Octo Grip on the RB, a Spiral Grip on the Salix and a Chevron on the Instinct. I do like the Combi Grips as well, forgot to keep some though  :-[

Big thick spirals all the way.  Preferably two of them.

I prefer thicker grips, but the pattern doesnt really bother me, apart from octopus grips, i hate them with a passion

The Aero wrap grips are nice but come a close second to the white combi grips for me.

Im a big fan of the thick Spirals on top of a thin grip. Cant stand octopus... they shred gloves!

ive heard loads of people say that about octopus grips, but personally ive not experienced this as far as im aware, my gloves tend to last just over season till theyre stiff with sweat and grip starts to go a bit,
i used a spiral/ribbed grip once, not sure which, and my bat kept sliding out of my hands, couldnt hold on to the bloody thing!

Yeah I kinda had the same problem with spiral ones. As soon as I started to sweat they wouldn't grip properly. Must just be my stupid hands lol.
