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

The I13 turn scaled down for youth — birch, long barrel, thin handle, a touch of end load

Victus YI13 Pro Reserve Youth Birch Wood Baseball Bat VYRWBYI13-NBK

Description

The YI13 is Victus' youth version of the I13, one of the most popular pro turns in the game. The barrel is 2 1/4" in diameter but long for its size, the handle is thin, the knob is slightly flared, and the balance point sits a little toward the end — a subtle end load that gives a young hitter more mass in the barrel without making the bat feel heavy. It swings around -6 to -8 depending on length, which puts it in the normal range for a youth wood bat.

It is cut from birch, the wood we recommend most for kids: harder than ash so it holds up, but with more give than maple, so mis-hits are less punishing on the hands and the bat is less prone to cracking on a jam shot. Pro Reserve bats carry Victus' ProPACT finish, and this one comes in a natural handle with a black barrel and a very shallow cup. Sizes run 27" through 31". Wood is not certified the way metal bats are — check your league's wood-bat rule — but it is approved for Little League play.

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.

Birch

Durable enough for youth use with more forgiveness than maple.

YI13 Turn

Long 2 1/4" barrel, thin handle, slightly flared knob — the I13 profile scaled for youth.

Slight End Load

More barrel mass for young hitters looking for extra power.

ProPACT Finish

Victus' Pro Reserve coating.

Shallow Cup

Trims a little weight off the end.

Key Features

  • Approx. -6 to -8 – normal youth wood-bat weight range

Who This Bat Is Built For

Youth hitters, roughly 8 to 12, who want a real pro-turn wood bat for practice, wood-bat tournaments or Little League, especially those ready for a bit more barrel weight.

Best for:

  • Kids who do cage or tee work with wood to build a better swing
  • Little League and youth wood-bat tournament players
  • Young hitters strong enough to benefit from a slight end load

Consider a different bat if:

  • You want the lightest possible youth wood bat for a first-time wood user — look for a balanced turn in our wood bats
  • Your player has moved to a 2 5/8" or 2 3/4" barrel in metal and needs a full-size adult wood bat — the TA7 Pro Reserve is the adult Victus birch

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?

Match the length of the player's metal bat or go one inch shorter — a 29" for most 10-year-olds, 30" for 11, 31" for 12. Wood is less forgiving than metal, so a size the player can control matters more than reach.

Is it covered by a warranty?

Yes — a full 45 days Victus manufacturer warranty against breakage and defects, honored through us as an authorized dealer.
