Add a Lizard Skins DSP Ultra bat grip

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

Pro-style wood feel and barrel control built for serious hitters.

Marucci Torpedo AP5 Pro Maple Wood Baseball Bat Natural/Flame MVE5AP5T

Description

The Marucci AP5 Torpedo Pro Model is a powerful evolution of the classic AP5, redesigned to deliver enhanced barrel performance and pure hitting power. By shifting more mass into the sweet spot of the torpedo-shaped barrel, this bat maximizes energy transfer for harder contact and deeper drives. Featuring a tapered knob and traditional handle, it provides better hand control while maintaining the slightly end-loaded feel that power hitters prefer. Handcrafted from top-tier maple and bone rubbed for maximum density, this bat is made for experienced players ready to swing with confidence.

WHO'S THIS BAT FOR?Players who want the authentic feel and sound of maple wood. Great for wood-bat leagues, BP, and hitters who value barrel control and feedback.

This bat is part of the Torpedo line; shop the rest of our Marucci wood bats, everything on the Marucci baseball bats page, or compare across brands — see all wood bats. Youth sizes live on the youth wood bats page.

FAQ

Does a wood bat have a warranty?

No — wood bats carry no breakage warranty from any manufacturer, including this one. Hitting with the label up or down (grain facing the pitcher) and avoiding cage balls in cold weather is the best protection.

Maple, ash or birch?

Maple is the hardest and densest — the most pop and the most popular, but it can shatter on a bad mishit. Ash is lighter with more flex and the traditional feel; it flakes rather than snaps. Birch sits between the two: nearly as hard as maple with some of ash's flex, and it gets harder as you hit with it.

What size should I get?

Size for bat speed first — a bat you can swing quickly beats a heavier one you drag through the zone. If you're between sizes, most players do better with the shorter/lighter option.

Is it covered by a warranty?

Yes — a full 60 days Marucci manufacturer warranty against breakage and defects, honored through us as an authorized dealer.
