Re-Gripping FAQ
Everything you need to know about freshening up your bat handle.
Fitting is £7, plus the cost of the grip itself. Most replacement grips start at just a few pounds, with premium and patterned options available for those after a particular feel or look. We’ll always show you the total before fitting — no surprises.
About two minutes once we’ve picked your grip. There’s no need to leave your bat with us — in most cases you’ll be in and out within ten minutes, including time to choose the grip you want.

As a rule of thumb, replace your grip at the start of each season or whenever it starts to feel smooth, shiny, or slippery. Heavy net users may need to re-grip mid-season. It’s one of the cheapest upgrades you can make to your bat and it makes an immediate difference to feel and control.
It comes down to personal preference. Octopus grips have a tacky, high-friction surface for a secure hold. Chevron patterns balance grip and cushioning. Scale grips are durable with a consistent feel. Thinner grips give you a closer feel to the handle; thicker, cushioned grips absorb more vibration. Bring it up with us in store and we’ll talk you through what suits your hands and playing style.
Yes. Our re-gripping service is available for any bat, from any brand, purchased anywhere. Walk in with it and we’ll sort you out.
Why a Fresh Grip Matters
A worn or slippery grip is one of the most common causes of poor stroke play, mishit shots, and stinging hands. The grip directly influences how the blade feels at the moment of impact, how much vibration travels into your hands, and how confidently you can commit to your shot.
For just a few pounds and a couple of minutes of your time, a fresh grip can transform the feel of a bat that’s otherwise in great shape. It’s the cheapest performance upgrade in cricket — and one of the most overlooked.
- Improved control and feel at the point of impact
- Reduced vibration through the handle
- A more secure hold for confident strokeplay
- A simple, low-cost way to refresh an older bat
