How do your run between wickets with a grippy toe and how does it slip is the bat too small for you?

Are you training indoors on roll out matting when your suffering with you bat slipping in your stance?

[i12breakfree]

In USA 99% pitches are artificial , turf / concrete pitches. So the bat does slip if the mat has a tear. I once played on such a pitch where the mat had a patch and it was taped up in the area where you put your bat for a RH batsmen stance. Not sure if the bat grip will help, but atleast that is the issue.

You shouldn't be leaning on your bat anyway

This is the most ridiculous topic I have seen for a while and I can't believe people are actually replying with serious suggestions 

Good luck with your grippy toes you bunch of nutters 

[i12breakfree]

If you havent got anything constructive to say and think this is such a riduculous topic, I suggest you keep your opinions to yourself.

Yes I am fining this on the carpet type indoor matting. Bats with toe guards seem to be fine.

Noticed the last winter at indoor nets with one of my bats that had no toe guard on, I just left it and as soon as I played outside or on the rubbery proper indoor flooring there was no issue.

The last thing you want is a grippy toe as when you try to slide your bat in they grip and jar causing issues.

If you know the fix is a Toe Guard, and you realise basically the whole forum thinks this is a mad question, may I suggest using a Toe Guard?

[thedon]

Any ideas on how to make a toe grippy without putting a toe guard on?

I did read it, and you basically realise its a stupid topic dont you?

Sho-glu or PVA glue roughed up would be your best bet, other than the obvious toe guard. Seeing as you know it doesnt happen with one it would make a lot more sense for you to just use one of them!

this forum is a different gravy sometimes

Not sure if you can do anything about making the toe more grippy but are you leaning on the bat expecting a short-pitch delivery? or tired?

Anything you put on like shoe goo or glue would come off quickly...
