Best baseball & softball bat accessories according to redditors

I imagine some people may not know that these exist, or may not know that they are called "donuts."

This is my go-to: Grip-n-Rip Trigger

Never mind the mediocre rating. The low reviews seem to be written by morons.

Edit: I prefer the trigger model because it lets me keep track of my bat rotation to even out the break-in.

Here's my post from another thread. Thinking about doing a tutorial post.

​

I just did this today with Lizard Skin 0.5mm grip tape ( https://www.amazon.com/Lizard-Skins-Grip-Black-0-5mm/dp/B00FAW40AE/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=lizard+skin+0.5mm&qid=1562993700&s=gateway&sr=8-2 )

1. Print the following template at 100% size / "Actual Size":https://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/bbw0ng/scan_of_gpw_hotline_games_grip/
   
2. Cut the template out as close as possible with sharp scissors or an x-acto knife
   
3. Lay the template over the Lizard Skin. I used thumbtacks to hold the template in place while cutting
   
4. Then just peel the adhesive off the back of the lizard skin and place carefully on the mouse

   The grip is unbelievable. I actually had to increase my sens in some games because I'm able to move faster but have more control over my GPW

I bought a couple of these. They fit over an oly bar perfectly.

Grip-n-rip knob taper. Or just do the same thing with tape. I rip the tape long ways 2/3 length and wrap it around the bottom closest to the knob. Then use the 1/3 to go on top and give me a nice taper.

I love fractional plates. Perfect for bench and OHP. I use these 20oz batting weights from Amazon.

You can get from amazon https://www.amazon.com/Lizard-Skins-1-1mm-Bat-Grip/dp/B00GPOA88E

I used this when I played, but more for grip when sliding with the broom

https://www.amazon.com/Lizard-Skins-1-1mm-Bat-Grip/dp/B00GPOA88E

There's two, a hockey grip and a bat grip. I personally like the bat grip a little more. Make sure to get the 0.5mm ones though.

Here's a cheap one off Amazon

Not a woman but I have some advice that might help as I also sometimes find that a 5 lb increase is too much for my bench and OHP. Could you try progressing at 2.5 lb increments? My gym has micro-plates which I make use of when I feel like a 5 lb increase would be too much. If your gym doesn't have micro-plates you can get some baseball bat weights. They fit over a barbell and they're a lot cheaper than getting your own plates.

I recently put some new mice into my rotation and I wanted to add some grip tape to them. I had Lizard Skins in the past and I liked it but I because the grip pattern just didn't feel perfect for me and the ugly branding across the side of the tape always annoyed me. I decided to look around and see what other types of athletic grips I could find and I ran across Marucci bat grip tape. I decided to try it out and I have had the grips applied for a few days now. These grips feel amazing in my hand, it's a lot softer and slightly more rubber feeling than Lizard Skins. The pattern is very low key and if you cut the tape cleanly enough you can almost make it look like a stock grip. The adhesive seems to be holding up pretty well, I've taken a few pieces on and off a couple of times and no sticky residue is left over at all. I highly recommend these grips if you are looking to add more grip to your mouse, it's definitely helped me steady my aim a tad.

Just some grip tape I had, got it at Walmart a while ago, for tennis rackets or baseball bats, I fingertip grip so I just put it where needed. Yeah they have all been in a drawer for a while, the G3 for over ten years, and the original Rival has seen better days. https://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Sports-Shok-Sorb-Bat-Grip/dp/B01MTAEJJJ?th=1

Is this the tape?

I bought mine in a local sporting goods store, but here they are on amazon!

Lizard Skins Bat Grip, Black, 0.5mm https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FAW40AE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8WdhDb4DCBGYQ

Could it be this stuff you saw? A reusable, roll-on pine tar stick used to improve grip?

I do 5lbs on everything except OHP and bench, which I do 2.5lbs on. I bought these to use as 1.25 lb weights.

I just ordered a pair of these 20 oz bat weights from Amazon today for $7 each:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0018BEGQE/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_DGngub1S0K9ND

I use 20oz bat weights. They were $6.99 when I got them making them the cheapest option at the time.

Trying to find 1.25 lb plates. Has anyone had luck using 20oz bat weights?

Like So?

They are vital to do the program correctly. I just bought two baseball bat weights like these, they fit perfectly.

either Lizard skins or plastidip should suffice. I really hope the next generation has the Rubberized grips integrated directly into the shell like roccat did with the Kain 100 AIMO.

Here’s the link where I purchased mine. Still no prime available for it unfortunately.

There are cheap alternatives to micro plates. I bought a couple 20 ounce bat weights on sale and they fit the bar perfectly. Others use weighted wristbands, lengths of chain, or they'll put a 2.5 lb plate on one side of the bar and swear they don't notice the imbalance.

I had this issue, but was finding my hands were so large that I was damn bear overlapping my fingers on themselves around the bat.

I grabbed these Grip-N-Rip handle grips (one symmetrical original one, and one called the "trigger" which has two finger slots and a tapered palm side) off of Amazon for a few bucks a piece for my bats, I now have a more comfortable grip, and the butt no longer rests against my hand.

They've been durable through two seasons, and go on easily with a little soap water. Avoid adhesion on the inside for the tapered grip, you will want to rotate which part of your barrel you contact with everyone couple months at most.

Hope this helps you too, I spent a solid 10 years of my "beer-career" with hand pains.

Batting gloves are also an option if you're not yet using any (your hand may just be irritated slightly from it being a soft area of skin)

Cheers

Bat donuts - 20 oz = 1.75lb

I use a "bat weight" such as this: http://www.amazon.com/DeMarini-Bat-Weight-Red-16-Ounce/dp/B005EZ3ABW/ref=sr_1_2?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1463515414&sr=1-2&keywords=BAT+WEIGHT

I attached two rare-earth magnets with electrical tape, and voila! You simply slide it up and down the bottom of the tube to adjust balance.

this is the stuff I apply to the front part of the shoe.
Putting it all over the show wouldn't allow the rest of the foot to move freely enough for me.

I've had this problem throughout my life. Especially after long batting cage sessions. My solutions have been Easton Adult HS VRS Batting Gloves that have a pad right there on the outside of the palm (I assume specifically for this issue). I haven't had the blister since I've worn those, but the Easton model is discontinued you can try searching Amazon for whatever places have in stock. Also the last year I have had one of those rubber Bat Ring/Power Pads on the knob of my BP bat and it seems to have cushioned the knob enough to stop the problem as well.

EDIT: Here's a Rawlings glove with the same type of palm/heel padding

You can use lizard skin grip, bat or hockey either works, https://www.amazon.com/Lizard-Skins-Grip-Black-0-5mm/dp/B00FAW40AE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1549582001&sr=8-3&keywords=lizard+skin+grip+tape+0.5mm https://www.amazon.com/Lizard-Skins-0-5mm-Hockey-Black/dp/B01NBYJY8W/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1549582001&sr=8-5&keywords=lizard+skin+grip+tape+0.5mm just make sure its 0.5mm

Bat weights are sometimes cheaper. I use these ones, https://www.amazon.ca/Champro-Bat-Weight-Blister-Pack/dp/B008C2B7A0. They fit an Olympic barbell perfectly.
