No argument with that. But I find it funny that they called it a Safety Grip under Rule 3 Equipment in the 2011 book, do not have the 2012 book yet, but looked at the new rule on line and would take it that they dropped the word "Safety" from the rule, also did the word Safety get dropped from the knob rule?
Yet they are clear that it must have a grip.
So what is the the purpose of the grip if you do not have use it when batting and why if it is not for safety?
Why not just a bare handle?
