The tennis style grips are about the only thing I haven't tried, big questions would be how thick do they tend to be (presuming you'll only ever have one on) and how easily do they come off when their done?
If you want to take them off it is very simple. Just unwind it.

That is a good question! My MB bat has really thin handle and with Xtrax on it is still a bit thin for me. Now I am not sure what to do. Apply normal grip on top or what?

I know a guy he paid around 10 pounds for Aero grip and he has applied in underneath normal rubber grip :(

Central Scotland!

Buying any sort of gear up here is a nightmare.

Fortunately I bowl and my batting is nothing special at all so I'm happy to bat with something pretty average, I'm a terrible fidget though so I like something like the grip to be perfect.

Get medical tape and apply vertical strips followed by horizontal strips to create your preferred shape before applying the wrap around grip or normal one.

Oo okay make sense.

Xtrax can not be reapplied once it has been taken off? Can it?

this works quite well for padding out a grip (not cheap though)
I would also be interested to see if anyone has used something like this on a bat... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320498845253 they are brilliant on a hockey stick

I've always used Octopus, but for the life of me I can't remember why!

Always used 2 or 3, but this year I'm using 1 for a bit more 'feel'.

Can't get octopus for the joker so i'm on chevrons
