Re: types of grips


Posted by: mb () on Mon Jun 16 07:13:40 2003


What are the pros and cons of the door knocker grip (knuckles you knock on door lined up, prevalent in softball) vs. flat grip (opposite knuckles lined up), prevalent in baseball. I've been coaching softball for several years and the door knocker is what we have been using but I would like an analysis by the board as to what each does to the swing especially at ball contact.

I am not sure that it makes a huge difference but more what is comfortable for the hitter. Just make sure the grip does not create wrist bind. Personally I like to have the knuckles somewhere in between the two.
