UK made chevron, keyword is "UK made".

That’s two words, Uzair.

Where do you get these from, I’ve got some from getpaddedup just wondering if anywhere else did any decent ones

I always source them from @Blank Bats (both single and double).

I’m not sure if Adam from @Neon Cricket still sells his chevrons but they were very good value and good quality

I was chevron fan, then my hands started slipping a lot. Switched to gm new terrain grips. They have lovely grip but texture feels a but rigid to me. Switched back to chevron again and using newer pair of gloves with sheep leather palm.
Where can we get uk made chevrons in australi?
Have used gn as well as kookbura’s.
Kooka.s are thinner an gn are thicker.

I like  a coil/ribbed grip. always feels more grippy/secure to me.

A nice thick ribbed rubber for me.
But what about your bat grips?

I just like the way the ribs fit round my fingers

UK made or Indian made is literally pointless when discussing grips - rubber is rubber regardless of which part of the world it's shaped into a grip (I would argue the same for a piece of willow but lets not debate that one again!)

The key I've found with grips is the thickness, quite a few brands use very thin grips to save on weight. The difference between a thick and thin grip can be over 0.5oz, this may not sound much but by the time a thicker grip, toe guard, scuff sheet etc have been added it can be a good 2/3oz more for a properly finished bat than one with just a thin grip and labels - which leads us into the deadweight Vs pick-up rabbit hole too...

Putting that all aside, if it's not a White Chevron then it's not for me - I've tried almost every combination going and still can't find a better option for a combination of both grip and longevity.

Get padded up don’t do “UK made” as far as I am aware. For most people that means the softer, more latex feeling ones without molding lines inside.

I’ve always used Uzi sports but their postage is a killer. Lately Woodstock for a better all around price
I think they now are as

Get padded up grips state UK made on the invoice they also seem slightly thicker than previously.
