Mattingly V-Grip Technology

Assuring Proper Hand Grip on the Bat

Mattingly V-Grip™ - Helping Improve Your Swing

Baseball legend Don Mattingly, whose passion to teach his kids and all players alike the best hitting techniques, conceived and designed the  V-Grip™.  The V-Grip™ instantly corrects what Mattingly found to be the most common problem found in hitters -- the position of the hands around the handle.  The patented V-Shaped handle naturally aligns the knocking knuckles, effectively positioning the bat away from the palm and into the fingertips.

V-Grip™  Technology – What Makes It Better

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.
