Abstract: A rotating grip comprising a non-slip outer surface and a high slip inner surface and which can be installed on the handle of a baseball bat to enhance the user thereof, is described. The grip can be covered by a conventional sleeve-type grip and has a novel notching means to hold the rotating grip in place. When used, the rotating grip enables the proper alignment of the hands to occur automatically and thus create a level and smooth swing. This swing will insure more direct hits on the baseball.

Abstract: A baseball bat having a handle adjacent an end of the bat. An upper hand grip is rotatably mounted on the handle to allow a more natural swing than is available with conventional fixed-grip arrangements. A fixed lower hand grip acts as a spacer for positioning the upper hand grip a desired distance from the end of the bat. The upper hand grip has an inner sleeve with a low friction inner surface permitting rotation of the inner sleeve on the baseball bat handle, and a resilient outer sheath for urging the inner sleeve against the bat handle.
