Replacing a Baseball Bat Grip

Step 1 Baseball Bat Grip




• Place the bat on a firm surface with the grip hanging off the edge.
• Draw a line on the top of the old grip using a marker.
• Practice caution when using the utility knife.
• Use the utility knife to cut the tape where you made your mark.
• Peel off the old grip.
• Some bats may have an under layer of wrap that will require extra peeling to remove.
Step 2



• Put on gloves and place the paper towels under the bat handle to catch the excess spilled residue cleaner.
• Apply the residue cleaner to the handle.
• Scrub off the residue with a rag.
Step 3
• Sit in a chair and hold the bat in-between your legs with the knob facing upwards.
• Take the pre-wrap, begin at the knob of the bat and wrap downward in a spiraling motion toward the mark.
• When applying the pre-wrap, be sure to keep it evenly layered as it will quickly get thicker when doubled.
• Stop applying the prewrap at the marked line.
Step 4
• Hold the bat in the same position used for applying the pre-wrap.
• Apply the electrical tape over the previous wrap using the same motion as before.
• Be sure to evenly layer the tape to have a smooth wrap all the way down the handle.
Step 5
• Apply a small piece of electrical tape at the beginning and end of the wrap to fasten it to the bat.
• Now that your new grip is complete, you're ready to play ball!
