Just wondering Torque related

[mike leonard]

Every thread I see everyone tapes their spinning handle so it won't spin. Personally I use an overlap grip so as far as I can tell the handle has never come into play for me. Does everyone who uses an overlap grip tape the handle up, and if so is there a reason for it? I'm pretty lazy and I like the grip on the torque so unless there is a good reason I will just leave mine as is.

I haven't touched mine, the movement of the handle is mostly gonna be noticeable if you think about it a lot. It doesn't bother me with any grip I've tried in bp.

I've been experimenting w/ an overlap grip lately. It pretty much negates the spinning handle.

Mines not taped and I don't feel the spin. I full overlap.

It keeps your hands in the zone longer, even with an overlap grip....​

I'd like to see some super slow mo of people full overlapping with the handle.

The separation falls at an awkward spot for my overlap. My top hand only half overlaps and it partially sits on the stationary part. Mechanics of the thing don't really work if both hands are on the spinny part. Well they don't really work regardless. I would really be surprised if they kept this line for anyone outside of parents gullible enough to shell out the $$$.

i am trying to ask seriously here and I know everyone posts it but you guys all have a torque.. is the torque worth ditching an OG helmer or is the helmer the top dog still? I have 2 that both pass compression still.

Ive tried mine taped and untaped. When it was taped is when I felt the handle twist (a single layer of tape). Personally I dont notice the handle spin even when I slowly dry swing. Some people are just pre-madonnas...

A lot of prima donnas too.

I think it's like the flexible Demarini handles, and if it doesn't cost more to make they'll keep it so it doesn't look like a mistake. If for nothing else, to keep their Baseball bats selling.

I may have to get my hands on one to do this. Could even do a comparison.

I'm curious to see this too.

I'd be interested to see. Especially with your type swing, I feel like it would be more drastic as opposed to another swing

Got an OG100h on the way, so I'll let you know soon after I BP a lot

Thanks, its honestly the best USSSA bat I have ever swung.

I just got a torqe in a trade utrip and asa , I tape all my bats the same way and use a overlap grip . I haven't really noticed any difference . I like the bats though .
