most shops offer to put the new grip straight over the old one because its easier for them!

Although some people do prefer a thicker handle.

try personnalising your grips.

2grips cut in half on the top of the handle.
the bottom of the grip should be where your right hand middle finger rests so your index and sum hold the handle where there is no grip.

or

an ordinnary grip cut in half and a thicker one (spiral one for example) cut in half.
Allways put the thicker half on the bottom of the handle and the thinner half at the top of the handle.

Do try first with old(ish) grips.]]> Wed, 05 Jul 2006 23:01:20 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1765&PID=65182#65182 How Many grips do you have on your bat? : have you ever put a herringbone... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1765&PID=65177#65177 Author: crick

hey i got a custome made bat by a company named monty.....it came with a single grip, after playing in the nets a few hours i decided to put on the secund grip and it does feel alot better, i found the pick up had no immidate affect. The stroke play was alot better. ]]> Sat, 03 Jun 2006 23:34:46 +0000 http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1765&PID=57112#57112 How Many grips do you have on your bat? : Originally posted by crick Originally... http://www.cricketworld.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1765&PID=53270#53270 Author: Paul Alcock

Is that to make a short handle into a super short handle?? Me dad did that with one of his bats and I always thought it would have a bad effect on the bat.


it shouldnt really have a bad effect, its just that my hands never go hihg enough to go over the 'knob' of the handle, so cutting it off means it wont ever rub against my wrist or anything, i got the idea after watching ricky ponting on the cricket show, as he does that  so i tried it on an old broken bat and it was great, !

and yes you could call it a super short handle, but i dont know what the uniform measurements are!



Thimk theres about an inch difference from SH to SSH!! Makes all the difference for me as the end of the handle rubs my wrist!!

If I were to put a second grip onto my bat, would it balance it a little more? Because, when I get into my stance I can feel the lower part of the bat dragging down, I got no problems with that but I'm wondering if adding a second grip would balance it out abit more.

Ive always had two grips, reduces the vibration felt, but it causes more effort from the forearms.

The OVAL handle tottaly ruins my game of playing straight, i dont reccomend having it.

I would of much rather not broke it as it was a class bat. Doubt I will get another one that felt so good in my hands. At least it went out with a bang - a crashing coverdrive to the boundary for 4!!!

Ooh my first post 

I have a gray nicolls powerspot that has 3 grips on it. Well it did have until it broke last week. It used to have 1 on but felt so much better with 3.

Now in the market for new bat after the death of my powerspot. It was bought in 1984 by my dad and he's scored about 5,000 runs with it until he passed it to me. I had it for 2 seasons and bust it!!!
