Every at-bat begins with one thing: your grip. The Grip-N-Rip II softball bat taper slides onto the bottom of you bat, creating an ergonomic surface for a secure non-slip grip without requiring a tight, tense hold. This product is ready to be used continuously-through thousands of at-bats, hundreds of innings, and multiple seasons. The Grip-N-Rip II is made from a new material that is extra durable and long lasting. The best method for installing a Grip-N-Rip is to first, use a little water on the grip and the knob. After it's wet, stretch the narrow end of the Grip-N-Rip partially over the knob, then pull or push it the rest of the way and work it in place as it suits you.
