Grips for striking implements, e.g., baseball bats, that adjust the position of the implement in the user's hand such that the implement can be held in a preferred position relative to the user's forearm without the user needing to radially deviate their wrist from its neutral position are disclosed.Certain embodiments are suited for placement on a standard bat by the user. Other embodiments are more suited for placement on a modified bat during manufacture.Use of the disclosed grips increases user comfort and lessens the risk to injuries associated with radial deviation of the wrist and with movement of the user's hand in relation to the striking implement, e.g., the bottom of the batter's palm striking against the knob of a bat.
