Pine tar is perfect for gripping a bat but the mess associated with it makes it far less desirable. As a result, we are seeing the landscape of baseball, at every level, turn to perforated bats grips. Lizard Skins are currently at the forefront of the bat grip market because of their product-quality and vibrant color schemes. Also, Lizard Skin has partnered up with manufacturers like Louisville Slugger to provide each bat grip for specific models such as the Select and the Prime.

The Utah-based Lizard Skins company was initially known for making competitive biking handlebar grips. Along with being durable and lasting through any weather, their grips provide tackiness and comfort for each player. But, in 2012, Lizard Skins broke into the baseball and softball market. The company was confident that the transition would be a smooth one because the bike and baseball grips were very similar and had the same goal in mind: create a durable and comfortable grip for athletes. The momentum has continued to build as they have become a symbol of social status amongst younger players.
