Video Instructions

1. Open Box and Remove Grip Labels and Sealed Grip Sleeve (do not open grip sleeve) IMPORTANT NOTE: (If you bought a solid color Tater Grip please proceed to step #10. The solid color Tater Grips do not include a label.)
   
   
2. Remove old grip from bat and clean and remove any tape residue (For customers who purchased a solid color Tater Grip with no label please go to step 10)
   
   
3. Go To www.tatergrip.com
   
   
4. Choose: “Tater Design Center” button
   
   
5. Choose a stock design and or create your own custom look
   
   
6. Save File
   
   
7. Print design on plain white paper to make sure it looks and reads how you want
8. After confirming the look of the label, place the Tater labels provided in the box in your ink jet or laser printer. We provide two labels in case one doesn’t print out how you like it. To insure proper printing we suggest placing a large book on the labels for a few minutes to flatten the labels in case they are too curved to properly feed into your printer.
   
   
9. Apply label to handle of bat. Make sure when applying label to keep label straight and start from knob end first and gently lay the label on the bat handle. Wrap label around handle, the label is designed to wrap 1/8” of an overlap. Most handles are ¾” in diameter. If your bat is larger than ¾” of an inch then there might be a slight space where the label does not perfectly cover the bat handle. In that situation you can do one of two things. (1) Leave the space, it will hardly be noticed when the bat grip is installed or (2) cut a thin piece of label from the other label provided to fill the gap. The label is a paper label and small creases may appear so take your time with installing the label as once it is on you cannot remove and re-apply. Again we provide two labels in case a mistake is made.
   
   
10. Remove Tater Grip from sealed pouch. The Tater Grip will be slightly moist from the solvent. It’s a good idea to have a towel near by to wipe any excess solvent off after installation.
    
    
11. Place one end of the grip over bat knob. Push & Slide Tater Grip over knob, you will have to use a little force to slide grip down and over knob. Start at an angle not straight over the top. Some knobs are bigger than 2” so you may want to use a little liquid soap on the knob to help with lubrication. Do not pull Tater Grip over knob as it may tear, one must push the opening from a side angle and then feed the grip down the bat until the entire grip is over the knob. Again do not pull on the grip at anytime as it will tear.
    
    
12. Once the grip has been slid down leave one end completely over the knob so just about a quarter size space is showing at the end of the knob. If you choose to slide the grip completely over the knob and flush up against the knob make sure to fasten that end with a rubber band or zip tie as the grip will shrink from both ends and if not fastened tight enough a 1” space will remain.
    
    
13. Once the grip is in the proper position set the bat on the knob barrel end up and lean against a wall. Allow 6-12 hours for grip to shrink properly. It’s a good idea to look at the bat grip a few times during the first hour to make sure the user likes the positioning of the grip as it shrinks it moves a little.
    
    
14. We have included a rubber band to wrap around the grip closest to the knob as the grip shrinks it shrinks from both ends so you don’t want it curing away from the knob. By tightening a rubber band around the knob it will then only shrink from one end. Make sure rubber band is tight.
