How do you grip a cricket bat without using a gripping cone?

Answer 1

Buy a cricket bat grip fitting device for under £10. This is a tapered piece of wood, a few inches longer than a cricket bat handle (it starts narrower than a bat handle and ends up wider), which ends in a metal 'cup' at one end. The cup will fit over the handle. Slip a new grip onto the device (with the grip surface on the outside). Roll the grip up from the bottom until it is completely rolled up. Remove it from the device. Turn the rolled up grip upside down and put it back on the device. Keeping the roll in a roll, roll the roll down to the bottom of the device. Fit the device over the bat handle. Roll the grip down over the handle. Be very careful not to trap your fingers when the roll quits the device (with a snap). If the grip does not fit as required, try again, adjusting the length.

Answer 2

Sprinkle talcum powder inside the new grip and on the handle, you will then be able to simply pull the grip on. The problem with this is that once you have the grip on you will have to roll it up from the bottom, take a damp cloth and remove the powder. The will need to be done by rolling the grip from the top. This will prevent the grip from slipping as you play.

Another way of putting a grip onto a bat without using a gripping cone is getting a set of cooking tongs and placing the grip as far down as possible. Then grip the tongs onto the bat and roll the grip down. From there it is very simple, all you need to do is roll the grip along the handle until it is perfect.

I had this trouble myself but what i did was i washed the bat grip out with soapy water and i stuck it on the bat and it was eaasy then i left it for about a few hours then all the soap dried out and i went back to the nets :)

Answer 4

It's almost impossible to do it with your bare hands. I personally can use a broomstick but as a cricket bat nerd I have a lot of experience using it and it is hard to use.

They are a very common and much easier way of putting on grips, and cost around 5 pounds. When you buy it you can ask the supplier how to use it if you're unsure, but it is fairly straightforward.

Alternatively, most sports shops offer a service of putting on your grip for around 5-10 pounds, which can be a good idea particularly if your grip is a complicated/multi coloured one which you want to get straight.
