"I just wanted to know if any of you had heard anything about Mattingly Baseball and the V-Grip hitting system that Don Mattingly developed? the design of the handle forces the hitter to hold the bat in their fingers and thus, lines up their knuckles automatically, which as you guys already know helps your bat speed a ton. Check out the V-Grip at www.mattinglybaseball.com"

If lining up the knuckles is such a good thing, then why do so few great hitters actually do it?

Instead, most use what is referred to as the axe grip.
