Mattingly V-Grip™ Aluminum Bats are a revolutionary new series of bats designed to maximize swing power by reinforcing proper hand position.

Available in 28"/16oz, 29"/17oz, 30"/18oz, 31"/19oz and 32"/20oz.

 V-Grip™ Technology
Mattingly's patented V-Grip™ technology helps the batter to deliver the sweet spot to the ball and generate additional bat head speed. The Mattingly V-Grip™ is specifically designed to keep the knocker knuckles aligned and shift the bat away from the palm and into the fingers - correctly “power-loading” your energy, forcing your grip to be in perfect alignment every time for perfect follow through. The V-Grip bat has a stiff handle and taper section, which transfers more energy to promote power at the point of impact.
To demonstrate how the grip works, try this technique:
 Without the proper grip, high-quality bats alone do nothing to enhance swing performance. Place the V-Grip™ bat in your hands incorrectly by setting the bat back in the palm of your hand and then swing the bat. It will end up out in your fingertips where it should be placed to swing the bat. If you do the same thing with a round handle bat, it will stay in the back of your hand. In other words, if you try and swing the V-Grip™ bat incorrectly, it corrects itself and ends up in the proper position. Without the proper grip, your bat head will lag through the hitting zone, losing speed, power and control. The V-Grip™ allows the batter to maximize the strength generated by the whole body to optimize the hitting force transferred to the bat.
V-Grip™ Bats are not only manufactured with the best Technology but they come with Don Mattingly’s batting tips to give you proper hitting techniques. The current hitting coach for the New York Yankees shares the same approach with you that he shares with major league hitters - dramatically increasing your batting average!
What coaches and hitting instructors are saying... |
"Don Mattingly truly has one of the great hitting minds in America and this device is a great indication of Don's creativity. This device forces the grip to be in a position that allows the hitter to take better swings. The Mattingly bat is an outstanding tool for any hitter interested in improvement of his/her swing."

“In my 17 years experience of coaching and professional training, the V-Grip Bat is in my opinion the best bat I have ever seen. In my facility the players are amazed how comfortable the V-Grip feels and what it does for their swing. The ball just explodes off the Mattingly bats. When I first saw the bat, one of my main concerns was hitting the ball on the same side of the bat every time. What I have found is after players have taken literally thousands of swings they have experienced no denting and no loss of pop! I put the V-Grip in my players’ hands and immediately the bat takes over. Harder hits, faster bat speed and more line drives. It leads to more confidence, which every player needs, all because of the V-Grip. I only recommend one bat company now and that’s Mattingly. Anyone wanting to be a better hitter instantly, must have the Mattingly V-Grip bat.”

"When you pick the bat up, the handle puts the bat in the right position in your hands and it feels like the bat was custom made for you. All the models - from wood to aluminum - feel like they are made specifically for your hand. It makes you want to use your hands, it makes you want to swing. I believe it will be a major aid for players from little league to the major league."
- Mike Barnett
Hitting Instructor, Kansas City Royals
"I have been using the Mattingly V-Grip™ with my students over the past year and have come to believe that there is no better bat on the market to give players the greatest hitting performance edge. Students really like the feel of the bat – best of all, the V-Grip™ is instantaneous to use and their improvement is almost as immediate."
- Darwin Davis
Sports Management Consultant, Baseball Instructor and Former MLB Player
"After years of instructing thousands of players around the country to line up their door knocking knuckles it is great to have a teaching tool that actually has them do it automatically. Our high school players hit with the Mattingly bat every day and have shown improvement in getting their hands aligned to hit through the baseball. Awesome!"
- Lance Peterson
Southport High School Indianaopolis, Indiana/Simply the Best Baselball, Panama City, Florida
“In my 13 years of coaching high school and college baseball the V-Grip Bat is in my opinion the best bat I have that I have used with any of my teams. We have been swinging many variations of the Mattingly metal bats since August 2006 and my players are amazed how comfortable the V-Grip feels and what it does for their swing. The ball just seems to jump off the Mattingly metal bats with great pop. I believe that from tee-ball to college ball, the Mattingly V-Grip bat will become the favorite bat in the dugout.”
