check out the grip n rip lite. goes under the grip itself and gives a nice taper to put the grip aroundI used to do knob cuffs on all my bats but mostly just build up that area with tape then Lizard Skins. I like a little less taper than the knob cuffs provide.
I use 1.2mm Easton tape when available. 1.1mm lizard skin when not. I also use the Markwart Bat Cuff on all my bat. Makes dropping a finger way more comfortable.
D--k's usually has them in store, but you can also find them pretty easily online with a search.Where can I find the Markwart bat cuff? I'd like to try it as my hands get pretty sore when I'm hitting a lot.
X2I use a Grip N Rip Lite under a Wilson Tennis Overgrip. These are thinner grips and can be found on the cheap at Wally World. In the past I used knob cuffs but switched after trying the G-N-R Lite. These provide a smaller taper than the knob cuff and are easily covered with the overgrips.

Used GNR lites but started making my own (really hard/dense foam). It actually weighs less than the GNR lites. I like my leather grips so I put that over the top (only minimum length that's allowed by ASA).
You're going to have to go buy a few things and try them out.
Suggestions don't mean anything until you try them and decide which one is most comfortable. This is just another "which bat is best" post in sheep's clothing. lol
Right, so if you haven't used one before, you will need to try a few out before you make a decision. Suggestions will just for buying purposes only. Only you can say if it's comfortable or not.Not really. I've never used a knob cuff before but some of my teammates use them and like the comfort especially with the overlap grip. Since I was getting some calluses and soreness in spots on my bottom hand I thought a knob cuff might alleviate this issue.

Ha ha....no. I make them as I need them. I just use a dense foam and a band saw. Give them a taper and then sand them down. I use a 11/16ths drill bit to bore a hold and then slice them in half. They don't even register on my scale. the GNR lites are about .1 to .2 of an oz. Not a lot but I like to keep my end load as heavy as possible. I'll have to make one up and post a pic or send to you.any pics of the foam tapers?

Something like pipe wrapping insulation?
