> Great hitters have held the bat all differnt ways. Aaron- back in the palm (also Junior.) Cookie cutter approaches will rob you of your ultimate potential (everyone's different.) Use the grip that's comfortable for you. Holding the bat at the base of the fingers is not a cookie cutter approach, it is a proven and successful way that most great hitters use. Sure, there are a few exceptions, but for the most part the bat can be made to feel comfortable by holding it the it at the base of the fingers. I would not teach a guy to hold the bat in their palms at any level! dog
