Colour Bleed on Multiple Coloured Grips and Toe Guards

Due to the manufacturing process, bleed on colour joins is possible and some is to be expected. In the manufacturing process, grips undergo a heating process called vulcanisation that alters the state of the rubber. As a result of the heating, bleeding of colours at colour joins is unavoidable. The degree of bleed depends on the texture of the grip with players matrix lite and dynamite quite susceptible, scale, octopus and other highly textured less so. Colour bleed is unavoidable and not considered a fault in the product.

Fitting of Cricket Bat Grips

Cricket bat grips must be fitted as per our advise on the "Buying and Fitting Cricket Bat Grips" tab within this listing.

Buying and Fitting Replacement Cricket Bat Grips

Hints and tips on how to purchase the correct grips and to ensure successful fitting

Q? There are many similar grips on ebay cheaper than the getpaddedup grips. Why is this?

A: You might think something as simple as a cricket bat grip would be an easy item to purchase. But what might first-off appear to be the same grip but cheaper is most likely not. A high percentage of cheap artificial filler (rather than natural and synthetic rubber) are used in inferior alternatives.

Q? So how does this affect the grip?

A: Cheap, low grade grips can contain up to 50% artificial filler. The result is an inferior product, likely to be heavier, be much more abrasive (causing additional wear on batting gloves) and will rapidly harden and go brittle.

Q? How can I tell the difference?

A: Unfortunately, it is very difficult when looking at a freshly made grip, particularly when you have only an image on ebay to look at; it will only become apparent in use. Ensure you purchase from a reliable source, such as getpaddedup, who control the manufacturing of the grips.

Q? So what do I get for paying a little more at getpaddedup?

A: Our factory supplies major global brands such as Adidas, Puma, New Balance, SS, SG. In supplying such organisations, we design, specify and quality test our entire 400 range of cricket bat grips to be the perfect mix of natural and synthetic rubbers.

Q? How do I fit the grip to my bat?

A: With care and don't rush it! We recommend only two ways to fit your grip, either via a specific tool known as a Cricket Bat Gripping Cone (getpaddedup sell these) or by using a method involving a carrier bag (type 'fit cricket bat grip without cone' into youtube, there are numerous videos demonstrating this technique). For one-off fittings, we thoroughly recommend the "carrier bag" technique; it is much easier for inexperienced fitters and will minimize the strain placed on the grip during the fitting process. For thick grips (textures of Players Matrix Pro, Duplex, Spiral Coil, Ring, some thicker Octopus), we recommend using the carrier bag method only. Do not fit over the top of an existing grip - see below.

Q? I like a thick grip, how do I achieve this?

A: If you prefer a thick grip (thicker than the Duplex, Players Matrix Pro or Spiral Coil textures), you can use an "undergrip". The undergrip must be a grip of minimal and consistent texture - we only recommend the chevron lite texture as an undergrip. Do not attempt to fit a grip over the top of other textures. The carrier bag method will not work for fitting the top grip, a cricket bat gripping cone is needed.

Q? I'm thinking of buying a multi-coloured grip, what should I be aware of?

A: Due to the manufacturing process, bleed on colour joins is possible and some is to be expected (grips undergo vulcanisation, a heating process that alters the state of the rubber where some bleeding on colour joins is unavoidable). The degree of bleed depends on the texture of the grip with players matrix lite and dynamite quite susceptible, scale, octopus and other highly textured less so. Colour bleed is unavoidable and not considered a fault in the product. Please contact us if you need further info.
