For me the grip has to be well made, this means 100% latex rather than the cheaper imported grips, the benefits are a lighter grip, it wears better and it gives more feel. Style is down to personal choice, I choose the Spiral grips as they offer me more grip on the handle.

Colour that doesn't come off on your gloves (hence I always choose white)

A material that isn't too abrasive on soft glove palms.

I am currently mucking around with grips on my talisman, I used 1 chevron with a half grip underneath on Wednesday and it hurt the hands when striking the ball. I am playing around with numerous chevrons, spirals, and those half and half grips from Kieron

I prefer grips that do not slip in my hand, octopus seems to the best for this but does cause more wear and tear to the palms of your gloves.

I have a Kookaburra blade runner a few years ago and it had the worst grip ever, looked great but the bat kept moving in my hand. I dont used spirals as in my head i can see the handle turning in my hands...

Should add color doesnt matter to me, if it looks great then its an added bonus but not the primary function of the grip....Puma ones feel decent too...

Think I've found a winner on the Talisman, a single spiral, feels good in the hands, let's just hope it feel good with a ball off it!

I have a half chevron and a half shock absorber under a chevron on the ayrtek which feel very nice

Chevron, preferable double thickness and more importantly hasn't to be black (a big no to yellow and white )

Puma grips are the best for me as they stay grippy for ages! I have a Puma Atomic and the grip on it is grippier than many new bats I have got.
