Batting grip concept
« on: November 20, 2014, 10:09:10 PM »
From my local News paper. I think this is silly. Where would the Steve Smiths etc with their different grips go. Waste of time?

sounds like it could be useful but surely it would make people even more similar in the way they bat

Bacause simply adding an extra grip or layer of binding to the bottom half of the handle is far too simple!

Wonder how much Harry Potter is being paid to endorse these...

Bet they're a right pain in the backside to apply properly!

They're 75 NZD - so nearly 40 quid. The concept is a decent idea but the price is hysterical!!

Got to agree....what's wrong with current grips that are available?

Nice idea, for a golf club maybe

You've got to apply glue too? Silly. That's why we have Oval handles.

Maybe it's a NZ thing - didn't John Wright go through a phase of glueing his gloves to his bat handle?
