Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓You will learn how to change a worn out grip on a baseball bat. When the grip begins to tear or shred is usually when an old bat is thrown away; this repair will help you keep a bat longer with no skills required to replace the grip. You will need a clean flat surface to work on as you are guided through removing the old grip, cleaning the handle, and putting a new grip on.

Sit in a chair and hold the bat in-between your legs with the knob facing upwards.

Take the pre-wrap, begin at the knob of the bat and wrap downward in a spiraling motion toward the mark.

Stop applying the prewrap at the marked line.

Hold the bat in the same position used for applying the pre-wrap.

Apply the electrical tape over the previous wrap using the same motion as before.

Apply a small piece of electrical tape at the beginning and end of the wrap to fasten it to the bat.
