What grip do you use? how many and why?
« on: June 27, 2016, 10:16:41 PM »

I'll go first -
  on most of my bats i have a fish / snake scale grip.  if the bat is bottom heavy, i usually use a thin grip (chevron) and a thicker (snake / fish / spiral) grip on the outside to help improve the pickup.

 However, if the bats has an exquisite balance and pickup (like a L&W reserve), i just have the factory grip on.

 what about you? Love to hear your thoughts and see some pictures of your favorite bats and their grips.

Just a single chevron grip for me to keep it simple, if I start thinking about different grip types/how many it's just another gremlin and battings complex enough at times as it is

More important for me is the handle shape, a semi oval is by far my favourite.

Has to be a black grip either the surridge combi grips or a simple coil grip, I remove the binding and tape the back of the handle to create the perfect oval shape possible

I'm a lover of chevron grips at the moment; currently got a black one on. Understated - personally think it's better to let your shots and runs do the talking as opposed to a garishly coloured grip!

I use coil on all bats, ever since I had a slaz sxi that came with one just prefer them to the rest, always in white so my gloves don't stain to much from the grip

White ripple for me, sometimes with something thinner beneath if I feel it needs it.

Gray Nicolls grips as a rule. They are reasonably thin, and I tend to prefer a thinner handle so that suits me. Colour wise I couldn't care less.

 Can't go wrong with the chevrons.
