You can have 2 layers of bat tape only. Is it ever enforced that is another question. I have had to take my knob cuffs in only one tournament so far. |

A taped grip provides comfort, but does it provide a clear advantage to the batter? It's not like doctoring a bat by increasing the end (swing) weight. If fact, it probably balances a bat more. I don't see how it would create a advantage nor cause a safety problem. So why the restrictions? |
