FAQs
Q. How does the GM Hex Bat Grips benefit my batting performance?
A. The hexagonal pattern creates multidirectional grip points that increase friction between your hands and the bat handle. This reduces unwanted rotation during shot execution, particularly for back-foot scoring shots and when playing in damp conditions. Many batsmen report improved confidence in shot selection and execution with hex-patterned grips.
Q. Is GM Hex Bat Grips suitable for both professional and amateur players?
A. Absolutely. While the GM Hex Grip is used by numerous first-class and international cricketers, its performance benefits are equally valuable to club and recreational players. The enhanced control and vibration dampening properties are beneficial to batsmen at all skill levels, particularly those who experience discomfort during longer batting sessions.
Q. Will GM Hex Bat Grips significantly alter the pick-up weight of my bat?
A. The GM Hex Grip adds approximately 18-22g to your bat's overall weight, which is standard for premium cricket bat grips. This minimal addition is typically offset by the improved handling confidence provided. Most players adjust to the minor weight change within their first practice session.
Q. How does GM Hex Bat Grips compare to standard chevron-patterned grips?
A. The hexagonal pattern provides more consistent grip security across the entire handle surface compared to traditional chevron designs. While chevron patterns primarily enhance grip in one directional plane, the hex pattern creates uniform friction in all directions. Players who struggle with bat twist during horizontal bat shots often prefer the hex pattern for its multidirectional stability.
