See reader questions & answers on this topic! - Help others by sharing your knowledge ranthony: Your grip applicator should look like an elongated cone about 12" - 15" long. Place the grip over the cone and progressively work it over the cone until it is rolled on itself like a donut. Place the large end of the cone on the end of the bat handle and roll the rolled up grip past where the cone touches the bat and now your grip is on the bat but stilled rolled up. Roll it down the bat handle without unrolling the donut until the donut shaped grip is near the blade junction and a bit is just spreading over the spread of the splice to the blade. Now unroll the grip progressively back to the top of the handle. At this point, your grip will be on the handle with the top end extended over the top of the handle (rather like a foreskin). Don't trim it yet. Holding the bat handle in both hands with the blade down, tamp the end of the bat blade into a surface like a carpet or firm grass so you distribute the grip evenly over the handle. Now, you can trim off the foreskin of rubber to the edge of the handle. If you don't get it right the first time, just roll the grip back down to the blade into a donut again, re-position and roll it back. You can do this over and over until you get it just right.
