These are great and really help your bat come through the strike zone faster if you hold your pinky under the knob. I don't know why people are having such a hard time putting these on their bats. I ordered the grip (a set of two), and without ever having looked at a video or instructions, I had one on in less than 30 seconds and the other less than 60 seconds. Only reason it took me longer on the other was because I used a bit too much dish soap on the knob area. What I did was, I put them in a pot of water and set it on the stove top. Right before the water began to boil (before the big bubbles started), I removed them, and applied a small dab of liquid dish soap around the edge of the handle knob and with the heel of my palm, I basically just forced it down over the knob after I had half of the grip-n-rip over the knob. It went right on. No screw drivers, no second person. Also, the size of the taping around the handle will dictate whether the grip-n-rip will rotate around the handle when installed. On one of my bats with regular factory tape (probably 0.50 mm), it wanted to move around some, so I just applied some electrical tape around the top edge of the grip-n-rip. On the other bat, I had 1.8 mm Lizard skin tape wrapped around the handle, and the grip-n-rip is perfect on it, doesn't spin around. So yes, the thickness of the tape/wrap on your handle will determine if it wants to rotate around the handle. All in all, I like the feel of it, and I highly recommend it to hitters who either put their pinky below the know, or for people who choke up on the handle. Hope this review helps.
