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 Manny Machado game-day maple that hits absolute nukes.

Rawlings MM13 Pro Preferred Maple Wood Baseball Bat RPPM5MM13

Description

Rawlings gave Manny his dream stick and then let the world swing it. The MM13 Pro Preferred is carved from the densest, hand-selected pro-grade maple on the planet Earth—giving you that bone-hard barrel feel and the loudest “CRACK” in the yard. Medium-large 2.5" barrel, thin 15/16" handle, and a subtle flare knob deliver the perfect blend of whip and control, while the slight end-load rewards strong hands with 400+ foot carry. Flame-tempered finish, cupped end, pro ink dot certified, and Manny’s signature laser-engraved in gold. This isn’t a bat. It’s a license to punish baseballs.

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

MM13 Turning Model

Manny Machado’s exact pro profile: 2.5" barrel, thin handle, subtle flare—built for elite bat speed + power.

Pro Preferred Hard Maple

Hand-split, ultra-dense grain for maximum hardness and explosive pop from swing one.

Cupped End

Perfect balance so the barrel still flies even with the slight end-load.

Pro Ink Dot Certified

Slope-of-grain tested for MLB straightness and performance.

Key Features

  • Flame-Tempered Barrel – Heat-hardened surface for scorching exit velo and durability that lasts all season long
  • Approximate –3 Drop – Adult sizing, BBCOR-approved for high school, college wood-bat play

Who This Bat Is Built For

High school and college studs who want to swing what a future Hall-of-Famer swings. The hitter who turns on 95 and wants the ball to disappear. Wood-bat league assassins, fall ball bombers, and anyone who’s ready to make pitchers throw the rosin bag in disgust. One swing and you’ll understand why Manny keeps a forest of these in his locker—this thing is stupid hot.

Best for:

  • Wood-bat league players, and hitters who train with wood for feel and barrel control

Consider a different bat if:

  • Your league requires a certified metal bat for games — see BBCOR bats, USSSA bats or USA bats
  • You want a bat that will not break in the cage — bamboo and composite-wood models are on the 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 45 days Rawlings manufacturer warranty against breakage and defects, honored through us as an authorized dealer.
