Why a Lizard Skins grip?

The grip that comes on a new bat is usually the cheapest part of it — a thin synthetic wrap picked for cost, not feel. It gets slick when your hands sweat, packs down flat in a few weeks, and does nothing about the sting on a mishit. Swapping it for a Lizard Skins DSP Ultra is the biggest upgrade you can make to a bat for under $25, and it’s why you’ll see them on bats from Little League through the big leagues.

It stays tacky, wet or dry

DSP stands for Durable Soft Polymer. It has a slightly tacky surface, an oval pattern and multi-directional ridges that hold your hands in place through the swing whether it’s a humid July doubleheader or a wet April morning. Because the bat isn’t sliding, hitters stop death-gripping the handle — looser hands, quicker bat.

It takes the sting out

The polymer absorbs vibration on off-barrel contact instead of sending it into your hands. The thicker the grip, the more it dampens: 1.8 mm is the most cushion, 1.1 mm is the all-around favorite and our best seller, and 0.5 mm is the pro choice for wood bats when you want to feel everything.

It lasts

The reformulated DSP holds its texture season after season, and the premium adhesive keeps it locked to the handle instead of creeping or unraveling like a worn stock wrap. Every roll is 990 mm / 39 in with pre-cut ends and a finishing strip, and it fits wood, composite or aluminum.

It looks like your bat

80+ colorways — solids, camo, Outburst, patriotic, MLB team colors. Match your uniform or make your bat impossible to mix up in the dugout.

Five-minute install

On-grip markings show exactly where to start and stop. Peel the old grip, wrap the new one, tape the finish — no tools. Watch the install video.

CheapBats.com was the very first Lizard Skins dealer — our founder met theirs at a trade show, tried the grip, and we’ve carried it ever since. We still think it’s the best grip on the market.

Description

2026 Rawlings Threat Composite USA Baseball Bat –12oz (RUS6T12)

The lightweight composite that turns young swings into statements.

Rawlings knows that for the youngest hitters, confidence starts with a bat that feels like an extension of the arm—not a burden. Enter the 2026 Threat –12oz: a one-piece composite wonder tuned for speed demons who are just starting to unlock their power. With a finely crafted layup that drops compression low and cranks up the trampoline like nobody's business, this bat creates an oversized sweet spot where mishits turn into miracles and good contact turns into gap shots that leave coaches nodding. Pull it from the wrapper, take a few dry swings, and you'll feel that ultra-light balance whispering "you're quicker than you think." Bold purple, blue, and red accents? That's just the cherry on top—making sure every dugout glance knows you're swinging something special.

Bat Features

  • Finely Tuned Composite Layup – Precision-engineered fibers deliver low compression for explosive trampoline effect and forgiveness on every contact point.
  • Extended Barrel Profile (2 5/8") – Oversized hitting surface maximizes the sweet spot, turning the whole barrel into a launch zone for young hitters.
  • One-Piece All-Composite Construction – Seamless stiffness and smooth energy transfer for a whippy feel that builds bat speed without the flex fatigue.
  • Ultra-Lightweight –12oz Swing Weight – Featherweight design helps developing players catch up to pitches and stay balanced through the zone.
  • Lightweight End Cap – Shaves extra ounces up top to enhance swing speed while keeping power locked in the barrel where it counts.
  • USA Baseball Certified – Stamped and sealed for all USA-sanctioned leagues like Little League, Pony, and Babe Ruth—no questions at the plate.
