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.

Rawlings 243 Big Stick Elite Maple/Bamboo Composite Wood Baseball Bat RBSC6243I

The unbreakable 243 that hits absolute tanks.

Rawlings gave the most popular power-hitter profile in baseball—the massive-barreled 243—an invincible upgrade. Maple striking surface bonded to a multi-layer bamboo core delivers the hardest, loudest maple “CRACK” on the planet while laughing at the inside fastballs that snap normal wood like twigs. Thick handle, explosive end-loaded feel, flame-tempered barrel, cupped end, and that iconic natural/black finish that looks straight out of a big-league lineup card. This is the bat cleanup guys dream about: pure violence on contact with durability that lasts entire wood-bat seasons.

Bat Features

  • 243 Turning Model – Huge 2.6" barrel, thick handle, flared knob—the classic power profile trusted by MLB mashers
  • Maple/Bamboo Composite Construction – Rock-hard maple hitting surface + ultra-flexible bamboo core = monster pop + near-zero breakage
  • Flame-Tempered Barrel – Hardened surface for scorching exit velo straight out of the wrapper
  • Cupped End – Optimized balance so the big barrel still swings fast and under control
  • Pro Ink Dot Certified – Slope-of-grain tested for MLB-grade straightness and hardness
  • Approximate –3 Drop – Standard adult length-to-weight, BBCOR-approved for high school & college wood-bat play

In the Box

  • Rawlings 243 Big Stick Elite Maple/Bamboo Composite Wood Bat

Who This Bat Is Built For High school and college power hitters who live for the 243 feel. The guy who turns on 92 and wants the ball to travel 450+ feet—without ever worrying about another shattered barrel. Wood-bat league bombers, fall ball sluggers, and anyone who’s tired of babying fragile maple. One swing and you’ll feel the barrel load like a cannon; one squared-up missile and the whole park knows you’re swinging the baddest wood money can buy.

Step in with the bat that refuses to break and refuses to stay in the yard. Swing the 243 Big Stick Elite Composite and start collecting souvenirs.
