We've seen the what grip pro's use thread, but what do YOU use?
Personally I'm a fan of chevron grips. Like octopus too but tend not to use them because they eat gloves. Hate the snake type grips feel very cheap. Can't get along with spiral grips either. Recently used the kookaburra max grip - but ended up putting it the wrong way around (upside down) and really liked it! I also want to try out the GM shock absorba grips people have been raving about!

I like the GM grip. Feels real nice in the hand. Whatever grip I use I try and use white/yellow as I find the colour rubs off a lot and ruins the gloves.

Shock Absorba's are great, gives you a thicker bottom hand really - sort of like an oval handle that isn't an oval handle.

Do like octopus, but mostly happy to use whatever feels right for that particular handle.  Ain't got massive hands so ideal scenario would be octopus bottom hand with chevron top maybe?  Do they exist?

Chevron Grip x 2 please.

Kook extreme, scale, octopus and matrix for me !

on chevron grips...where do you guys get them from? are UK made ones necessarily better than the cheaper indian ones?

2 half spiral, half chevrons.  I put them on so the bottom grip has the spiral part at the top and the top grip has the spiral at the bottom.

Snake grip on the bottom, either two half snake grips or the bottom half a GM shock absorba in the middle and a Salix hybrid on the top.

On my Octane with a thin handle I went snake grip, salix hybrid, half a shock absorba then the original Octane grip on top. My handle has to be the right thickness an the bottom half thicker than the top, I'm a fussy creature sometimes!

2 grips, bottom one not important. top one the gm shock absorba for bottom hand control.

GM control grip over a shock absorba, always need two grips on a bat.

Hands like shovels?

Hands like shovels?

Surprisingly not actually, 2 grips is as thick as I can comfortably hold with my top hand (unless the handle is really thin like my Octane)

I have an extra half on the bottom to try and negate my bottom hand dominance, everything still ends up going to cow corner though

On my Maverick I just use one white chevron and on my A61 I use two scale grips one red and black and a white one on top...
I use white grips so I don't stain the palms of my gloves

I got a liking for the GN half moon grips at the moment, although I only have 1, so I have to commit to which bat I'm using so I know what one to grip up! Both are grip-less at this moment in time!
