Improved adjustable bat grip

Abstract

A one body member solid molded bat handle grip manufactured from Thermoplastic material or the likes for improving the gripping control of the batter for baseball or softball, which is useful for left handed or right handed players. The longitudinal raised surface along the bat handle grip allows the batter alignment of the knuckles for proper wrist roll. The grip is capable of starching over the bat knob onto the bat handle and sized for being grasped by both hands of the user. The grip fits moveably snug around the bat handle for manually rotating it around the handle to prolong the life of thin walled aluminum bats. And can keep the label lined up when batting with wooden bats. The grip is essentially immovable when squeezed by the batter. Finger channels or finger separating barriers may be included along the longitudinal raised surface. The grip material helps to reduce vibration, sting and blistering to the hands of the batter, and also reduces bat slippage.
