The Mattingly V-Grip:
Designed and developed by Don Mattingly, patented and exclusive V-Grip technology enables the hitter to unlock his or her full potential by aligning the knocker knuckles properly. The V-Grip instantly corrects what Mattingly found to be the most common problem found in hitters--the position of the hands around the handle. The patented V-shaped handle naturally aligns the knocking knuckles, and forces the bat handle away from the palm and into the fingers--creating the shortest swing with maximum speed. Without the proper grip, your bat head will lag through the hitting zone, losing speed, power and control--and reducing your ability to consistently hit a strike-zone ball. The V-Grip technology allows the batter to maximize bat speed and the strength generated by the whole body to optimize the hitting force transferred to the bat.

The most prominent difference in V-Grip bats is in the handle, which is shaped in such a way that it forces the hitter to have the correct batting grip--with "knocker knuckles" aligned. An additional feature of the Mattingly V-Grip is a stiff handle and taper section, which transfers more energy and power at the point of impact. Some manufacturers promote a flexible, "whip" handle, but while the theory of a whipping action may work in golf--where the target is stationary--it has not been proven to efficiently transfer energy when applied to a moving target such as a baseball. In other words, a flexible bat could rob you of distance and power--that is why Mattingly V-Grip bats remains stiff for maximum power transfer.

About Mattingly Baseball:
Mattingly Hitting Products (MHP) company was founded to promote improved hitting ability in young baseball players through the use of the patented V-Grip baseball bat and Don Mattingly's approach to hitting. MHP has created the first truly unique innovation in baseball and softball bats since the introduction of aluminum bats during the 1970's. Early in his baseball career, Don quickly realized that the key to increasing hand quickness and bat speed could be found in the grip, and that a good grip meant positioning the bat in the fingers and not in the palms. After much experimentation, Don eventually discovered that trimming the bat handle into a rounded "V" shape allowed him to effectively position his fingers and maintain the proper grip throughout the swing--and the idea for the V-Grip Bat was born.

The new Mattingly V-Grip Bat is a technologically advanced, precisely engineered version of Don's original concept. The handle is specifically designed to keep the knocker knuckles aligned and shift the bat to the front part of the hands. By ensuring this alignment, the V-Grip Bat serves to keep a player's grip in the proper position during each step of the swing cycle. The result of this grip-through technology is that it is the only proven bat to maximizes a hitter's quickness, and generates more power and more control through the full swing of the bat.
