The patented V-Grip™ technology – only available with Mattingly bats – enables the hitter to unlock his or her full potential. By aligning the knocker knuckles properly, the Mattingly V-Grip™ forces the bat handle away from the palm and into the fingers – the perfect batting grip for sending fast hands through the hitting zone and getting the sweet spot on the ball.

An additional feature of the Mattingly V-Grip™ is a stiff handle and taper section, which transfers more energy and power at the point of impact. Some manufacturers promote a flexible, “whip” handle, but don’t be fooled! The theory of a whipping action works fine in golf – where the target is stationary – but has not been proven to efficiently transfer energy when applied to a moving target such as a baseball (in fact, many studies suggest the energy is absorbed, rather than transferred!). In other words, a flexible bat could rob you of distance and power – so you want a bat that remains stiff, such as a Mattingly V-Grip™ model.

To demonstrate how the grip works, try this technique:

Without the proper grip, high-quality scientifically engineered bats alone do nothing to enhance swing performance. Place the V-Grip™ bat in your hands incorrectly by setting the bat back in the palm of your hand and then swing the bat. It will end up out in your fingertips where it should be placed to swing the bat. If you do the same thing with a round handle bat, it will stay in the back of your hand. In other words, if you try and swing the V-Grip™ bat incorrectly, it corrects itself and ends up in the proper position in your hands – the bat forces your swing to be efficient!

Without the proper grip, your bat head will lag through the hitting zone, losing speed, power and control -- reducing the ability to consistently hit a strike-zone ball. The V-Grip™ technology allows the batter to maximize bat speed and the strength generated by the whole body to optimize the hitting force transferred to the bat.
