Be interesting to see what colour the glove palms go with them. :D

Hi guys,

so if anyone had to choose between an octopus grip or a spiral/coil grip which one would it be?

I wear batting inners. Would that help less damage on my palms with an octopus grip?

And do the spirals have a good grip on them or do they wear out quickly?

thanks,

Spiral all day long to avoid wear on palms of my gloves. Never had a problem with grip using them.

I batted without a grip tonight, and whilst I could hold the bat, the rotation upon the ball striking the blade was significant, and it made my bat sound terrible, unless it has died already.

In summary: Use a grip.

Yeah bat with a grip for sure. Just want to know whether which one of the two (spiral or octopus) are better.

Octopus grip tends to wear and tear the palms of you gloves!
Therefore I tend to avoid these grips.

Sponsors - any news if and when you will be stocking the following?

2013/14 Spartan grips
2014 GN grips
2014 Kook grips

I've officially given up finding my dream grip - a sky blue snake grip (best ever grip I've used was a Kook snake grip and I'm a Coventry City fan unfortunately!) - but I do like the look of the new grips on the latest bats.  V sports were stocking them but have no news on a next delivery

May also look at the GM ripple grips

I have confirmed dates for bats, pads & gloves with all of those suppliers.

Everything else is a little more hit and miss.

Mostly pre-xmas, nothing more specific.

I've always used a white chevron grip, can't go past them.
firstly because white goes with most colours, and the it gives the handle a really good feel, which I like.

I'm using a GM Ripple at the moment.
Weighs in at 2oz, it's thick, comfortable and there's no slipping even with my old shiny palmed gloves.

Sorry for digging up an old topic.

Currently loving the kookaburra xtreme grips. All white of course (classy).

Agree with you, very good grip, considering using these over my beloved chevron grips!

I'm also using the kookaburra xtreme grips in all white and highly rate them, I find them really usefull as sometimes my bottom hand is quite strong so having the different grip reminds me to keep it loose when after each ball
