How many grips...
« on: March 29, 2010, 08:05:41 PM »
As the title say, curious as to see how many grips people use on their bat....

I just use 1 but on another bat I have half of one on the bottom the a full grip over it.

The first cricket box was used in 1874.  The first cricket helmet was introduced in 1974. So, it took 100 years for men to twig that their brains were also worth protecting.

One snake grip, I find that sufficient.

I had 1 and a half on my bats too, but I've just gone back to aero grips, and I love them - although hoping to try the Xtrax grip soon too.

One thick spiral at the moment.  Always used to use 2 grips but the spirals these days are about the thickness of 2 old school grips.

On one bat I have a one and a half grips (extra half for a looser bottom hand grip) and on my other two full grips. All are yellow chevrons - I like to keep it simple.
