> 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

Hi,

The whole point behind this discussion is that the hitters bat should be more in the finger
portion of his hands rather than his palms. Some of these devices out there help to force
the bat into the fingers and lining up the knuckles does this as well. His knuckles don't
need to be perfectly lined up as long as the strongest part of his hands are controling the
bat (fingers). A slightly relaxed grip is also desired for optimum batspeed and control.
