GM Hex Grips v old gloves - help
« on: April 12, 2021, 10:00:32 AM »
has anyone else found that Hex Grips rough up the palms of gloves? or am i being a bit over worried?

i've recently brought a couple of bats and they have come with the Hex Grips, one is a GM original grip and the other is unbranded, both grips seem to 'rough' up/damage the palms of my net gloves (old pairs one pittard one normal leather) is this normal from the grips in anyone else's experience? 

the grips are great and i love the 'grip' they give - just wondering if i might need to invest in some more pairs of gloves?!?! :D

I use the hex grips and haven’t had any issues with my big standard leather palms.  However, I imagine that they wouldn’t be too kind to snazzy Pittards palms.

I previously used octopus grips and the Hex grips are less heavy wearing on gloves than they were

Love these grips. Never had any problems with them affecting my gloves (GM Original LE gloves).

The Hex grips have been fine with my Pittard palmed Chase FLC gloves.  Only thing with the grips, is that they don't last longer than a year really, but that's the trade off for having grippy grips.
