How to Install Lizard Skin Bat Grips | Right & Left Handed Batter | Axe Bat Handle | 99BATS.com

[@Tjrose0484]

I like how this video explains it better than the actual lizard skin account

[@ninetiesgamer2820]

Right!

[@brandonjusblong]

This guys somebody we would know and the other cats probably the owner that lost a bet and had to make the video on his own

[@Salomon1five3]

I know right, I just wish the audio was a little better.

[@MrBurtonPE]

haha, so true, found this after watching two LS official vids.

[@lpeterson8205]

Thanks for the lefty instructions

[@tbhoffman1979]

Thanks man. My sons Axe bat gave me some trouble getting started. Once I got it going it went smooth. Thanks again!

[@ariesanfilippo1078]

Legend. Thanks so much. Did my first attempt with your instructions! Came out beautifully

[@adrianabecerra3056]

As a mom, this was too easy. Thanks!

[@thelineman4306]

Be sure to always cut the electrical tape vs tear. The end will stick better with a clean cut

[@HakuShounen]

Great video, very helpful. I appreciate that you differentiated the wrapping direction for righties and lefties.

[@quasiguy]

Thanks for posting this. I'm replacing an old Lizard Skin on a favorite bat and needed a refresher course. The only quibble I have is that I watched the version for the right handed batter while I wrapped my bat, using your "one dot overlap" method. Unfortunately, during your left handed instruction, starting at 4:02, you introduce the "two dot overlap" method...which, I'm assuming is not just for left handed batters and, frankly, a method I would have preferred to use (for that thicker, "raised ridge feel" as you describe it). Unfortunately, I'm done wrapping the bat, so I guess I'll have to try the two dot overlap on my next bat. If you ever redo this video (and I'm not sure why you would), it would be helpful to explain that one dot vs two dot method at the beginning...before you go into the right handed versus left handed explanation. Thanks!

[@dennispimentel]

thanks for including the axe bat tutorial in this!!!

[@CedricCFleming]

thank you. I will definitely wrap one of my bats with the 2 dot and one with the 1 dot method

[@99bats]

Glad you found the video helpful!

[@heatherstaph3079]

Did you start with the smooth edge against the top or the angled edge? I can't tell from the video.

[@JJK-le2yj]

Thanks! Your video is better than lizzard skins!

[@jabirnss8658]

Very helpful thank you so much!

[@99bats]

You're welcome Bernie. Glad you found it useful!

[@MrKatfishHimself]

Idk if anybody has asked yet but, what does it benefit which way you wrap it?

[@Hustler_state]

If you wrap a left handed bat the same direction as you do a right handed bat, it will rip the wrap apart way way faster.

[@ksajak]

Damn an axe handle bat!? Where were those when I was a kid!?

[@runitback2back]

If you are wrapping a bat that had an old tape on it should I take off all the old glue that stayed on the bat?

[@AmazingChinaToday]

Sounds like a good idea, then wipe with some alcohol when finished to remove any oils for good tape adhesion.

[@watashiwasmartphonega6601]

What if you apply electrical tape on the bat THEN applying Lizard Skin for extra thickness. Have you tried that? I would like to see that

[@mikecarwin]

I e never done this before. Would you recommend 1 dot or 2 dot method for an 8u player?

[@bustinlol1987]

Do I remove the og wrap

[@natereel7436]

Yes

[@hectorperezjr.6488]

When do you plan on reviewing the new Easton, Louisville, and DeMarini bats and seeing their exit veils?

[@99bats]

We do later on

[@BrianMcGivern]

Could you show how to wrap an Axe bat for a left-handed batter?

[@rubenzamora8764]

When you buy a new bat they aren’t wrapped for right or left handed batters. Also, what if I’m a switch hitter?

[@adammarquez2452]

do we need to use electrical tape or is it just a recommendation ?

[@99bats]

It's not required, but it helps to secure the grip.

[@lbckillakev]

Great video

[@natereel7436]

Thanks this helped a ton. The instructions it comes with really suck

[@kennyyy1255]

Do you have to take off the original trip on the axe bat?

[@99bats]

You have to remove the original grip from the bat. If you leave the original grip on, your grip will be twice as thick.

[@leolara8870]

Should I take off the bat grip that came with the bat to install my lizard skin?

[@carllutz7523]

Yes. In my experience you don't have to have the bat perfectly clean but you should remove the old grip and as much old adhesive as possible. Some people use a solvent to help remove any old grip (WD-40, gasoline, turpintine, Goo-gone, etc.). I just use a rough rag and sort of scrub off as much as possible.

[@jj31162]

Which bat brand has the best overall bat exit speed

[@99bats]

No one brand dominated the other. If you haven't already, check out our 2017 BBCOR Ball Exit Speed videos. Average exit speeds are posted at the end of each video.

[@Melvo34]

Thanks for that instruction

[@nighty15241524]

Very helpful, thanks

[@matthewwu3003]

Bat was much smoother after replacing the tape for a lefty!

[@parkerb2710]

What do u do for a switch hitter

[@99bats]

Just wrap it for your most dominant side. Or, buy two bats from us and wrap one each way...LOL

[@brae826]

What size grip is recommended for a 31/28 cat 7

[@osamabeenlacken3658]

I use a 1.1

[@larryrodziewicz8437]

What if your batter is a switch hitter? Does it matter how the tape is applied?

[@astapovich940]

It does. Just go the method of the stronger or more batted side.

[@dancooper3117]

ahh, that's why I struck out... I wrapped it for a lefty.

[@99bats]

Probably, definitely wasn't the quality of the pitch. :)

[@Justin-gd4kn]

[@nickleung9598]

Made that axe handle wrap look easy….

[@markrwilder]

Nailed it thank you

[@WYATTB2026]

Very helpful

[@JoeyB-2001]

What should I do, since I'm a switch hitter and I only have one bat?

[@99bats]

You should by the same bat from 99BATS.com and wrap one lefty and one righty.

[@tylerherb2024]

Big help thanks

[@wadewilson-xi1zs]

Bro could pass as Canelo’s twin brother 😂

[@Yaboycleetus]

Is there a reason to wrap differently for lefties and righties?

[@99bats]

Yes. If it's wrapped the wrong way it could come unwrapped easier.

[@curtricebaseball4851]

I'm glad this question was asked cause I was curious why you had to wrap it different for a righty vs lefty.

[@user-og4zh2lb9x]

What thickness should I use I have a 32 29

[@99bats]

That's all about personal preference. BBCOR bats usually have a thin grip installed on them from the factory. You will probably want to go with a 0.5mm or 1.1mm.

[@notsauer]

Bro I just can’t do it. I keep trying to make that X for my axe handle and the tape keeps going up

[@DavidAmmerlaan]

nicely done

[@jordanmcdade3863]

Does anyone know why the small end of my lizard skin isn’t sticky?

[@cAt156]

Thanks

[@javaking1000]

What about removing the adhesive from the old wrap? You have to clean all the residue off with Goo Gone.

[@99bats]

We usually don't have a problem removing the old adhesive by hand. I agree Goo Gone can also help.

[@Grusken19]

At 6:22 what were you looking at? That was kinda creepy, anyways thanks for the tutorial.

[@MrSelkies]

Probably a screen that was showing the recording so he could make sure you could see what he was showing at that angle.

[@Aralight13]

So what he forgot to mention is YOU START WITH THE FLAT EDGE NOT the TAPER CUT edge at the very first wrap. AGAIN ----The flat even cut wrap is what you start your wrap. Right or left handed has no bearing whatsoever, as a switch hitter ive done both ways and couldnt feel the difference if you put 10 grand in front of me as a bet. NOTE: Alien Pros is a great lesser expensive wrap and honestly feels better than Lizard. (Senior bat expert)

[@danziegelmann3520]

So you save the thin taper, just to cut it off at the end? Makes no sense

[@anthonylington5]

[@matthewmiller3069]

You shouldn't bite your nails . . . thx for the vid, very helpful.

[@boogsey_]

not helpful, it kept bubbling even following ur exact instructions
