20040180739, Sep 16, 2004

Filed:

Dec 2, 2003

Appl. No.:

10/726860

Inventors:

Robert Kramer - Fort Lauderdale FL, US

International Classification:

A63B059/06

US Classification:

473/568000

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 allow the batter alignment of the knuckles for proper wrist roll. The grip is capable of stretching 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 can also include a tapered portion on the bottom of the grip so the batter can grasp the bat knob and tapered portion simultaneously with the bottom hand of the batter. The grip material helps to reduce vibration, sting and blistering to the hands of the batter, and also reduces bat slippage.
