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

Tim Anderson's end-loaded birch turn — built for hitters who swing with their hands

Victus TA7 Pro Reserve Birch Wood Baseball Bat VRWBTA7-NT/BK

Description

The TA7 is Tim Anderson's Pro Reserve turn, and it is shaped like his swing: a large 2.52" barrel on a medium .95" handle with a flared knob, weighted toward the end so the barrel does the work once the hands start it. Victus describes it as a bat with a ton of whip for "handsy" hitters, and that is the honest read — it is not a balanced contact stick, it is a barrel you let go of through the zone.

Victus cuts it from birch, which sits between ash and maple: harder than ash, with more flex than maple, and it tends to get harder with use rather than flaking. Pro Reserve bats get Victus' ProPACT finish and are cut from big-league-grade, ink-dot-certified wood — the same grading the pros' bats get. The colorway is a gloss natural handle with a gloss black barrel and a cupped end. Sizes run 31" through 34" at approximately -3, and Victus backs Pro Reserve with a 60-day warranty, which is rare for a wood bat.

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

Birch

Harder than ash, more forgiving than maple, and it densifies with use.

TA7 Turn

Large 2.52" barrel, medium .95" handle, flared knob — Tim Anderson's signature profile.

Pro Reserve Grade

Big-league-grade wood, ink-dot certified, with Victus' ProPACT finish.

Cupped End

Keeps the -3 feel with a large barrel.

Key Features

  • End-Loaded Feel – weight toward the barrel for whip through the zone
  • 60-Day Warranty – Victus covers Pro Reserve bats, which most wood bats don't get

Who This Bat Is Built For

High-school, college, adult-league and pro-style hitters who want an end-loaded, big-barrel birch bat with a pro turn and pro-grade wood.

Best for:

  • Power hitters and "handsy" hitters who want the barrel to whip through the zone
  • Players who like a flared knob and a medium handle
  • Wood-bat league and summer-league hitters who want pro-grade, ink-dot wood with a warranty

Consider a different bat if:

  • You want a balanced wood bat for contact hitting — the TA7's end load is real, so browse our wood bats for a 271-style turn
  • You're buying for a youth player — the YI13 Pro Reserve youth birch is the scaled-down Victus option

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?

The TA7 runs about -3 and swings heavier than that number suggests because of the end load. Most hitters should take the same length they swing in BBCOR or one inch shorter; the 32.5" is a good middle ground for a 33" metal-bat swinger.

Is it covered by a warranty?

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