FAQs

What material is the Gunn & Moore Apex Cricket Bat Grip made from?

The grip is made from premium rubber, offering durability and a high-friction surface.

Can this grip be used on any size cricket bat?

It is a full-size grip suitable for most adult bats. It can be trimmed for use on junior size bats.

How do I install the grip?

Slide the grip onto the bat handle. For a snugger fit, a mild lubricant like soapy water can be used, ensuring it dries completely before play.

Can I use this grip in wet conditions?

The rubber material offers good grip, but like all grips, performance may be slightly reduced when wet. Cleaning and drying the grip after play is recommended.

How often should I replace the grip?

The lifespan of the grip depends on usage. Replace it when it shows signs of wear, such as becoming smooth, tearing, or losing its tackiness.

What is the benefit of trimming the grip for junior bats?

Trimming ensures a proper, secure fit on smaller bat handles, which is crucial for developing correct technique and control for younger players.

Troubleshooting

Grip feels loose on the bat.

Ensure the grip is fully slid onto the handle. For a tighter fit, consider using a small amount of bat grip adhesive or re-trimming if it was cut too long initially.

Grip is difficult to slide on.

Apply a small amount of water with a drop of dish soap to the inside of the grip or the bat handle. This will act as a lubricant. Wipe away excess soap and allow to dry slightly before sliding. Ensure no soap residue remains on the playing surface of the grip.

Grip has become slippery.

Clean the grip with a damp cloth to remove sweat and dirt. If the rubber has worn down significantly, it may be time to replace the grip.

Trimming resulted in a ragged edge.

Use a very sharp blade or scissors for a clean cut. If the edge is ragged, you can try to carefully trim away loose strands or use a fine-grit sandpaper to smooth it slightly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility:

This grip is designed as a full-size grip and is suitable for most standard adult cricket bats. For junior-sized bats, the grip can be carefully trimmed using sharp scissors or a craft knife to achieve the desired length. Always measure against the junior bat's handle before cutting.

Setup:

To install, slide the grip onto the handle of the cricket bat. For a snug fit, you may need to use a lubricant like soapy water (ensure it is fully dried before use) or specific bat grip adhesive. If trimming, ensure the cut edge is smooth.

Care:

To maintain the grip's effectiveness, clean it regularly with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water. Allow the grip to air dry completely if it becomes wet during play or cleaning. Store the bat in a cool, dry place to prevent the grip from degrading.
