C92 Batting Grip – Multi Coloured

How We Manufacture C92 Coloured  Grips
Cricket is not just a sport—it's a science of precision, performance, and control. One of the most overlooked yet crucial elements of batting success is the grip on the bat. At C92 Sports, we understand that the connection between the bat and the hands of the player defines confidence at the crease. That's why our C92 Grips are manufactured with an emphasis on comfort, durability, design, and performance.

Manufactured in Sialkot, Pakistan—a city globally recognized for producing high-quality sports goods—our grips undergo a series of well-defined processes using premium materials, advanced machinery, and rigorous quality checks. Here's a comprehensive look into how we manufacture C92 bat grips and what sets them apart in a competitive global market.

1. Material Selection: Building the Foundation of Performance
At the core of every C92 Grip lies the careful selection of raw materials. The grip material determines its elasticity, comfort, shock absorption, and durability.

a. High-Quality Rubber
We primarily use premium-grade rubber, known for its elasticity and grip retention. This type of rubber offers superior tactile feedback and anti-slip properties. It helps the batsman maintain better control while playing both defensive and aggressive shots.

b. Synthetic Compounds
In our performance-enhanced models, we blend synthetic materials into the rubber base to increase resistance to wear and tear. These compounds also help in maintaining grip texture even in humid or sweaty playing conditions.

c. Thailand Natural Latex (Optional)
For our top-tier grips, we sometimes incorporate Thailand’s natural latex, which is renowned for its stretchability and superior grip texture. It provides a softer feel without compromising durability, making it a favorite among professionals.

2. Design Features: Crafted for Control and Comfort
Our design process is inspired by the real needs of modern cricketers—from school-level players to professionals. Each C92 Grip design goes through a conceptual stage before manufacturing begins.

a. Ergonomic Engineering
We focus on ergonomic grip designs that reduce fatigue and allow for longer periods of comfortable batting. Designs are structured to provide:

Optimal hand positioning

Reduced vibration during ball impact

Seamless transition between top and bottom hand holds

b. Finger Cushions
Selected grip styles feature finger cushion ridges, strategically placed to align with the fingers' natural position. These cushions help absorb shock and improve bat control during fast deliveries or big shots.

c. Advanced Gripping Patterns
C92 grips are known for varied textures and patterns, each designed to serve a specific purpose:

Chevron or diamond textures for extra grip

Octopus or dimple patterns for enhanced feel and shock absorption

Camo and ribbed styles for aesthetic and tactile differentiation

These textures not only improve functionality but also give players a range of visual and tactile choices.

3. Color and Texture Variations: Style Meets Function
We understand that cricket is as much about personal style as it is about performance. Therefore, C92 Grips are available in a wide array of colors, patterns, and textures.

a. Color Choices
From classic black and red to neon green and electric blue, our color palette caters to both traditional and modern tastes. We use fade-resistant dyes to ensure the color stays vibrant even after prolonged use.

b. Custom Patterns
C92 offers striped, camo, zigzag, and mixed-color grips. These are not just aesthetic choices but also help players identify and differentiate their bats in a team environment.

c. Textured Surfaces
Grips come with textures like:

Ribbed (for firm grip)

Smooth with micro bumps (for light touch)

Hybrid patterns (combining zones of rough and smooth)

These designs cater to different playing styles and hand preferences.

4. Manufacturing Process: From Concept to Grip
The manufacturing of C92 Grips is a blend of modern machinery and traditional molding techniques. The goal is consistency in every batch, while still allowing room for custom features.

a. Molding and Extrusion
The process begins with heating and extruding rubber through specially designed molds. These molds are crafted with intricate detailing to create the final grip texture.

In extrusion, the raw material is forced through a die that shapes it into a long tube.

This tube is then cut into sections according to the standard grip size (usually 10–12 inches in length).

High pressure and heat help the rubber set into its final form.

For more complex textures, we use injection molding machines, which allow precise control over design and dimensions.

b. Cooling and Curing
After extrusion, the grips are cooled gradually to retain elasticity. They are then vulcanized—a chemical process that strengthens rubber by adding sulfur and applying heat. This stage ensures the grip retains shape under extreme batting pressure.

c. Trimming and Shaping
Excess rubber is trimmed manually or by precision cutters, and the inner diameter is checked to ensure a snug fit over standard bat handles.

5. Customization: Tailored to Player Preferences
C92 offers extensive customization options, especially for professional players and retailers.

a. Custom Logos
We provide the option to emboss or print logos onto the grips, allowing cricket academies, sponsors, or clubs to represent their brand on every bat.

b. Custom Colors and Patterns
With a flexible dyeing and mixing process, we can produce custom color combinations or match team branding colors on bulk orders.

c. Limited Edition Designs
For promotional or seasonal releases, we introduce limited-edition patterns, such as national flags, player signatures, or tournament themes.

6. Quality Testing: Ensuring Performance Under Pressure
Before a C92 Grip reaches a player's hands, it goes through multiple quality assurance tests to meet industry standards and C92’s internal benchmarks.

a. Durability Tests
Grips are stretched repeatedly in controlled conditions to simulate months of use. The elasticity must remain within an acceptable range, and the material should not crack, deform, or lose color.

b. Shock Absorption Testing
Grips are tested for impact dispersion using pressure sensors. The aim is to ensure that the grip can absorb a significant amount of shock from ball impact, reducing strain on the player's hands.

c. Grip Retention and Slip Resistance
Laboratory testing includes checking how the grip behaves under sweaty or humid conditions. It should not slip, rotate, or loosen from the bat handle.

7. Packaging and Distribution: Ready for the Game
Once the grips pass quality control, they are packaged in tamper-proof, branded packaging that retains shape and protects against dust and moisture.

We offer:

Single and multi-pack options

Retail-ready hang packaging

Bulk delivery for academies and retailers

Every batch includes information about the model, pattern, color, and quality check stamps for full traceability.

8. How C92 Grips Compare to Other Brands
While global brands like GM, Gray-Nicolls, and SS offer a range of bat grips, C92 Grips stand out in both quality and value.

Our grips often outperform others in:

Seam alignment

Shock resistance

Customization flexibility

Price-to-performance ratio

The handcrafted touch from Sialkot, along with modern quality standards, ensures that each C92 Grip delivers comfort and control equal to or better than more expensive international alternatives.
