Caring For Your Bat
Replacing Grips
Eventually – your bat will need a new grip – these can be bought cheaply from most sports retailers or on-line.
Fitting grips is an impossibly difficult job for a novice to get right – even with a gripping cone. It is always much easier to get a shop (or one of the coaches) to fit it for you as they can be really quite difficult to put on correctly.
A specialist vacuum pump is an excellent accessory for fitting grips, costing around ten pounds, ask around at your club to see if someone has got one.
Some players like to double grip their bats as this gives a greater cushioning impact when striking the ball or increases the size of the grip.
