Putting A Grip on Withoubt a Device

Well...

I need real help on this one lol. How the hell do you get the plastic bag through on that method and on the broomstick method can you go through the WHOLE process because I am stuggling madly right here!

buy a kwick grip!

I think he wants to do it without using a "device" lol. But I would say that quik grip is the way forward. Only costs a few quid and saves alot of time and stress!

Not got a grip cone? You can always use a broom handle, getting it onto the bat is a pain though!

Wheres the best place 2 get a quick grip from- most places charge at leasta fiver P and P.

Just buy a grip cone mate

they only sell them at cricket supplies, although you could get the GM one from a place that has cheaper postage

You can try putting a little bit of pvc glue on the inside of the grip to help lubricate it - that can really help. Other wise you need to find something which replicates a cone, i.e small at one end, slightly bigger than a handle at the other.

A tutorial for the gripping cone can be found here, at http://www.simplycricket.net/how-to-use-a-gripping-cone-t53.0.html. If I get a chance, I'll do a run through of the bag method.

Ross, do you have a pool cue? I use that to put on my grips until I can get a cone.

lol thats brilliant richie i tried that and it works perfect!

BTW I never use spiral grips so Im probably best off getting a Kwik Grip aren't I?

yh u are, but they arnt very good with octopus grips, spiral grip do work

I wonder if heating the grip would make it easier to put on as it will strech the rubber?

I had to re-grip a ribbed grip i think for a mate,

He had no chance

I tried first couldnt get past half way!

then put in airing cupboard for 2 days

Easy as pie!

good luck L dog

just to clarify- is ribbed the same as spiral?

When we talk about bat grips it sounds like we talk about condoms- I asked my dad to get me a grip, he said what sort, I said ribbed if you can, and i goes, excuse me!

I Use The Plastic Bag Methord, It Easy.
1- Put The Bag Inside The Grip With The Bottom Of The Bag Cut Out.

2- Using The Side Without The Handles Slip Over The Top Of The Handle

3- Roll The Grip Downwards And Cut Out The Bag And Then Roll Back, The Roll Upwards To Get The Remainder Out. Simple

Make Sure Its A Supermarket Bag I.E A Tesco Bag Or ASDA Bag.

That sounds really easy i might have to try that! I have heard using good quality bags helps...no more morrisons!
