Has anyone ever used the tape grip? I remember that a bat had one in the 80s but I cannot remember which (ss turbo perhaps).

I also ask if anyone has ever use as hockey grip and what would be the negatives for using one? I know they are rather cushioned, but are very grippy. If no-one has tried it may be something I could look at as I have some spares somewhere.

I do stand corrected then, well the ones Dean has on his vulcans and on the choice willow sticks are really nice, sound similar in description to the hunts ones

Picked up a few of these from the Choice centre the other day. I quite like them, I know theyre not always that popular on here, but they are pretty grippy and I cant seem to find Shock Absorba in white anywhere!

Hewie,

I love the Aero tape grips - although many don't - however they are a bit tricky on big oval handles and no good if you like fatter handles.

I'd give hockey tape grip a go, I reckon that would be well comfy.

I know a lot of people aren't fans but my grip of choice for the last 3-4 seasons have been octopus grips.  Used to like spiral grips but they seemed to wear out very quickly.

Just came across a pyramid grip. Have these gone out of production as I remember they used to be on alot of GN bats 3/4 years ago

Does anyone know what companies custom companies use for their grips?
My Black Cat has a really quality thick spiral grip on it, and I'm sure I've read somewhere that some companies have their grips made over here.
Anyone know where to get them from? Im looking to avoid cheap Indian/Pakistan made grips.

Favourite grip has to be the GM Shock Absorber, anyone know where you can still buy these?

Ebay is your best bet mate

The coil?

They are horrible grips

Love the Kookaburra Xtreme grips, octopus and snake grips - my utopia is finding a sky blue snake grip, but no one seems to stock them!
Simply cannot get on with chevrons or spirals.  I've never found that any grips damage my gloves, but that's maybe because I'm never in long enough...
