Sniper Skin

[Erdrikds]

I watched a video on this the other day. I'm not sure if I trust this based on the video. Has anyone tried this yet or heard anything about it?

Seems like a softer type of heat shrink tubing that you use for wiring. I'd give a try.

 

[fuzzy2651]

Interesting. I do like how they accounted for covering the knob. Curious about durability and different thicknesses

 

[Dan240]

Have to get one & try it out. Need a bat that needs the grip relaxed first though.

 

[fuzzy2651]

$20 though...

 

[Dan240]

$20? I'll wait til someone else buys it and test it out.

 

[fuzzy2651]

My thoughts exactly. I'll wait for some reviews to come out on it. Maybe our buddy the BP Hero can get his hands on one and make us a video

seems exactly like this stuff. you can probably get it a lot cheaper too

This is the first year that I'm using an actual bat grip tape of any kind. I always used the cloth type tape. One $3 roll can do about 6 bats.

I usually do Lizard Skins, but got a Vulcan grip from SBF and those are very good too

Same here, I always used hockey tape til I switched to Lizard Skins.

This actually looks like it'd be really good for going over a Grip-n-Rip lite...

The only reason I don't use the Lizard skins or other things is because I like taping over the knob for extra grip. I really don't care about the grip, and have taped the knob on a few and put the lizard skin back on.

I might try one of these. Won't be putting one on all my bats though.

Shoot, what I may use this is to just cover the knob on the bat and cut it off about an inch above that and wrap with a lizard skin.

 

[Joker]

hell i'd just get a lacrosse or hockey one for half the price

 

[Dan240]

wonder if it'd work for breaker bars & sledge happens in my garage.

 

[Joker]

buy a can of plastic dip

 

[Dan240]

I've used that on screwdrivers, but it gets slippery with oil.

Okay, I broke down and ordered a couple. I will let you know how they are in 10 days when I get them.

I just found some heat shrink tubes at work that shrink from 1.75" down to 0.32". I'm trying one out on a cracked bat, I'll let you know if I've found a cheaper alternative.
