Bat Grips
« on: May 16, 2009, 09:47:02 PM »

I've been looking around at grips and trying to design (well in my head for the moment!) a grip which I could put to the market potentially if it's good enough and you guys think it's actually a plausible idea!

I quite like Kookaburra Snake grips, and Feather grips, but have no idea where i should start trying to think from a design point of view. Has anyone got any ideas?

Also I'd appreciate replies about your favourite type of grip/colour and what you'd like to see in your "ideal" grip, if you have one. Thanks!

my ideal grip is the GM shock absorba, thats what i use at the moment, tried feather grips but the bat just turns in my hands, i hate octopus grips as they shred my gloves

I'm with Liam i find the GM shock absorb grip to be very very good and the best on the market in my opinion, the Aero grips are also pretty good.

Every time i bat with a shock absorba i do well, also the new yellow one looks great on my blade

yeah singo i find octopus grips annoying, they feel very nice as as under grip but when on top then have shredded the palms on both my pumas and my grizzlys

I love White grips as I feel they go with any stickers.  My fave's are a kinda Scale type grip, they don't turn in your hands and are really good wearing.

i only use white grips as they look good with any bat and they dont stain gloves, i like octopus or ribbed (herringbone i think) if there was half ribbed and octo that eud be godd for the bottom hand if ribbed as its thicker

Check out a load of hot water bottles, you might find some good grips and textures on there.

It's obvious that bats nowadays focus on keeping it light (lighter willow, carbon handles) - perhaps a new material, lighter than rubber and permanent?
