There used to be some fabulous half spiral/half chevron ones around, which were excellent at thickening the lower half of your handle.

Someone may have some on here - I think #Bulldog had some at one point.

Glad to see people's views on the new GM grips.

Has anybody noticed they destroy gloves apart or are they decent??

Like these?  http://www.salixcricketbats.com/catalogue/bat_extras/index.html

Nope - they were 1/2 spiral and 1/2 chevron, they were really good actually. There were loads of them floating around in white at one point.

I'm trying to find some good quality black diamond grips, amazingly I can't find anywhere online that actually sells them! Can anyone point me in the right direction?

This website lets you design your own grip including diamond, min order is 25 though. Discount goes up the more you order.

I'm looking for a thick black spiral grip, similar to the ones Paul Aldred uses on his bats, anybody know where I may source such a grip?

Thanks, do you know if they are a good quality grip?

Yes pal.

@Mel Jessop
Have you tried Paul directly, Im sure he would send a couple out to make the postage cost effective.

I haven't approached him directly as yet, need to sort a bat issue out with him first..  The bat he sent me us too heavy, I may send it back for some out of it, but worried a couple of ounces will alter the profile to much, so I may sell it on, as its new hopefully it will sell quickly if I take that decision..

Thanks..

 The last time we spoke we had apparently sorted it out you were sending it back to me. I hardly ever have any issues but if any do come up everyone who knows and has dealt with me is fully aware that I sort it out for them, that's called customer service and mine is second to non, and there are some who do try and take the Mickey. I can't help but find it incredibly strange that I try and help out in the best way possible for someone to firstly feel he can't back in touch with me about a bat grip if that's what he wants or not finalise what had been organised with the issue you had. I say this because I do find it upsetting that when a company or person has done what they can to help that people then post dissatisfaction publicly with not even half a story there for people to read. I do hope that you get in touch again and we can proceed as was originally arranged.

Paul never did I say I was dissatisfied in that post, just that I needed to sort out wether I was going to have some weight reduction or if I thought that it would diminish from the profile to much sell it on as it is and get a new bat made at a different weight.

The bat grips are a separate issue tbh.

I am sorry if you have read it that I was posting that reply as a dig, I was not just that I had a decision to make, seems that if someone could use a bat at just under 2.13 why not let them use it as it is, as my thinking is that it is an amazing bat and would be a shame to take the weight out of it if it was to the detriment of the bat itself, no offence was meant Paul, I am sorry if this has offended you.
Perhaps you can message me and reassure me that the bat will still be as amazing with the weight out of it, as I really would like to keep it..

Thanks and sorry for the offence this may have caused you.

Mel.
