Cricket Bat Accessories Available online and instore - 12/10/2009You may have been struggling to find cricket bat accessories in your local sports shop. Although many will stock cricket items, not all will have a full range of accessories needed to maintain and protect your cricket bats. For these items it is advisable to try your local specialist cricket retailer or shop online. If your cricket bat has a worn out grip all you need to restore it to its former glory is a new grip or two and a bat grip applicator. These types of cricket bat accessories are not expensive and can prolong the life of your cricket bat for years. Many specialist retailers will sell generic bat grips on their own or in packs of two or six. You can also purchase brand specific bat grips to keep your bat looking its best and keeping the brand and model colour scheme, most brands now sell spare grips to match their new ranges and specialist suppliers will stock these. It is worth buying a few when you purchase a new cricket bat to use in future. The bat grip applicator is simply a long wooden cone with a protective end to prevent damaging the bat and handle. You simply roll the bat grip down the cone, place it over the handle and then roll the grip onto the bat handle. Once the grip is in place at the bottom of the handle you only need to gently unroll the grip and apply some tape to hold it in place and the procedure is finished. If you live near a specialist retailer they will offer a bat grip application service, where they apply your new grip to you bat while you wait.
