Myself and forum member @alexhilly1492 were having a talk at nets tonight about how the difference of a handle thickness is so personal to the individual, which led me to asking this question.

What do you prefer and why?

I used to use 1 and a half grips, then went up to 3, down to 2, and have now settled with one (GM HEX). As for handle shapes, I�ve never been that sensitive to different shapes, although I will say that GMs handles feel very nice indeed.

Must, must be oval. Not too fussed on thickness (or perhaps I haven't found a perfect one just yet)

Just like the one in that puma.. or gm with two grips 😂

I don't think I've got a real preference.

As long as there's an extra half grip on the bottom of the handle anything will feel alright!

Yes I agree the tk handles are near perfect for me these days, I do like the top hand oval as well tho

I liked the feel of GM handle.

Oval or semi oval, two grips.

Oval, with 2 grips. But I too am experimenting with thin oval on my new TK.

Thing is, it makes a lot of difference when you are swinging the bat around with no gloves. But when you put gloves and maybe inners on, it makes much less difference.

Thicker the better, I leave the handles at the max size I can get them on my own bats. Have no idea why anyone would want a thin handle!

Where I would agree with you on the top Hand I do wish he would Make the bottom part of his handles thicker. But does allow you to sculpt your own shape and feel with tape etc (in true CBF fashion)

However having held a few pro handles - I wish he would use them on all Grades of his bats lol

Relatively thin for the top hand then either and extra half a grip or double bound bottom hand, nicely oval.
I do enjoy playing with the handle/grip set up.

Then I have been using the gm matrix grip for years but trying other grips pre season.

I suspect I will go back to the soft gm matrix relatively quickly!

I have found the TK oval handle with a single chevron grip to be my holy Grail.
