Hi All,

Any idea where I can get double thick chevron grips? I know Salix used to do them but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Cherrs

I believe we get our grips from the same place as Salix (UK Made) - we have white and black chevron grips in and also white combi's available.

Does anyone know a source for GM ripple grips without the GM branding? The best grip money can buy but don't really want GM branded ones on my own bats, all the alternative plain ripples I've tried haven't been good enough. Would be prepared to buy in a decent quantity from a manufacturer or similar if necessary.

Add the GM terrain grips to the list.
I have just got a couple to try.
Weight >44gramms
Very good quality, slightly softer than I was expecting, which is good news.

Also the hex grip.
Which is a bit odd, but nice...

I love terrain grips, have you noticed additional wear on gloves?

I have only had one longish net using the terrain grip so not much of a sample size. Plus I am not using pittards gloves, just the calf leather, but so far so good.

I quite like the new Hex grip, I didn't weigh it before putting onto a Chase bat, but it felt quite light. Got a few more on back order, so will take a weight next time.

I recently bought a hex grip for my bat. I previously had a wave grip in place. Honestly, I hated the hex grip. I was struggling to hold the bat right and after couple of innings, I can see wear signs on my gloves. I just couldnt get along with it.

Just an update on this, yes they distroyed a pair of my son's batting gloves.
I would also say that the quality of grips these days is terrible, apart from the GM ones generally.
I bought some from other makes and they just disintegrate

Agree, there's some awful grips out there. All my bats are fitted with Chevrons from a rubber company in India. Before i found them thanks to @Butterfingerz, I'd struggled to find a good supplier. They're a decent thickness and good quality. I did try bracelet style ones, but found they wore my gloves too much.

They're not that light, around 1.5oz, but I'd prefer my bats to weigh 0.5oz more on the scales than use the really thin/light ones.

100% agree with this. I've had a couple of hex grips and hated them, just didn't feel right. I've tried loads of different grips but almost always end up reverting back to more traditional chevron grips.
