Bat Grip Issue [Merged]

[zoi321]

The grip on the handle is kinda strange now on my MB malik when i play it slighly goes up andthe black sticker and glue is gone do i need the glue cuz at the moment i sellotaped it with normal tape.

The grip has gotten old and you would need to replace it because from the inner part it has gotten dry, thats what I can think of.

If you are bothered about stickers then do it otherwise its fine.

thats exactly happens to me all the time and it soo anoying push it back down

[Cricketismylife]

Best bet is to change your grip once it starts drying out- due to use/abuse/heat etc.

Also, If you push just the bottom bit down it wont stay down for long.

The trick is to readjust the whole grip- from top to bottom. Or take it off and put it on again.

I second this.

Same thing is happening with me and my Newbery bat grip and it comes off while I'm batting. I would say the grip has lost its "grip " hence it is not going on the handle.

Don't grip the handle so hard with your bottom hand.

Whenever I play with bat, after a while its grip seems to be out place. The tape also comes off.

I just played with my MB Bubber sher once ( and not even in the match) for a little test (slip cathing + knocking) its grip was out of place.

Same happend with my Gray-nicolls and every other bat.

Is it becasue I hold the bat from the bottom of the bat?

And I am not wild with the bat...

..Is there any way I can stop making this happening with my bats? :(

NU, not NN :P

But the problem with my grip is that its not even old, its brand new, but still goes out of play, after I play with it for a while.

[WazzAfridi]

have you tried putting electrical tape on the bottom of the grip?

[No_Username]

It was already there, and a pretty strong one too.

But I need to bring it down to put a tape on it.

[Cricketismylife]

No_Username- here you go. Take off the whole grip and put it back again.

or show us a picture.....

Thats not the problem, I do that again and again with other bats.

But Can I stop it from hapening in the first place?... becasue after I pull it down, after a while it goes back up again. But I don't put another tape on it, is that the reason?

I think I need to tape again.

I know i have asked already but does anyone know where you can get a cricket bat grip with the pakistan flag on it

[100 Not out]

use elastoplast tape instead. . . . guaranteed to work. . .imo

[Cricketismylife]

Afrid1:

Put a small sticker of the flag on the back of the bat.... or front of it.

Flag grips look terrible IMO...

Also white won't last very long either, it will get dirty very quickly and it will look horrible then.

Get a decent quality grip and glue(multi-purpose glue) put some glue carefully onto the bottom and near the top of the handle. If this is done properly the grip will not ever move on the handle. You dont need tape at the bottom but u can put it on to add finishing touch to it and tape only makes it look nice, it never holds down the grip on the handle, Also never cut the grip if it stretches longer then the handle coz after a while the grip goes back to its original length when u play with the bat.

[akkers]

Adjusting and re-installing the grip is part and parcel of batting. Grips do move and most people will re-install the grip every 2-3 months at lower level; and more at higher level.
