tying the forum grips(Peplow and Johan are selling)

Normally like just a plain diamond grip

Reds agree with you like to feel the bat

I used 2, with great success last season but it just never felt correct in my hands, hence thinking of going back to 1. Although they say if it ain't broke don't fix it!!

I used the Combi grips the other day!! VERY NICE

Bringing up an old topic...

I tried a bat on Sunday with a thin-ish handle (i usually like thicker, or at least thick bottom hand) with only 1 grip on it. It felt very wierd and I didn't really like it but I got runs with it that way and felt I could maneuver the ball better.

Thoughts fellow men....?

One grip generally means you get a better feel of the bat. I have tried 2 grips before, but I have smallish hands and I don't like the handle to feel too thick and with 2 it seems to me that I get less feel. If I really persisted with it I'm sure I would end up liking 2 grips, just like I'm sure you would end up liking 1 should you persist with it.

I have always used two grips on bats, until I came over here. Basically due to not having a gripping cone readily available I just used one grip, found it weird but now love it and feel like I have more control somehow.

half grip at the bottom with 2 over the top. works for me!

Strange ain't it mate.

Does anybody use inners whilst batting which makes the feel different....?

[Red Ink Cricket]

Always wear inners. just a standard pair. I know a few guys who use keeping inners. god knows why. may as well put a pillow inbetween the bat and the hands. works for them though

[Jenko]

Same with inners...used to wear them in oz, no longer wear them over here! Think the colder climate might help though...

[justnotcricket86]

Never wear batting inners, but have changed the grip on my Monster to just a spiral and quite like it as it's heavier than the Hattori which has half an octo under a chevron. Still not got round to using the GM shock absorba grips yet

[Liam-SCCC]

Always used shock absorber grips, but they felt to thin on the bottom hand of my ayrtek so have gone to half a pyramid grip under a chevron

[TommO]

I use 1 chevron grip with half inners as it gives me the feel I want. I have tried two and it just makes it so chunky.

[johnnyw]

Xtrax combi grip over a chevron is perfect for me

1, Ribbed, for extra feel and sensations when cover driving, and eliminates all rub between two.

Is the ripped the same as coiled?
