Viper Bats Manny Mota Grip Stick

From every review I've read, people have bought batting glue because it doesn't stain or get everywhere and that is 100 percent true. It's pretty much a glue stick for baseball bats and it gets the job done. I've use pine tar and some brands of tar are really slippery and require adding rosin to make it grip better, but the Mota grip stick doesn't need it at all. Just apply it and you're ready to bat. It doesn't stain and or transfer onto other things. I've actually had a situation where I hit a ball and the bat was sticking to my open hand while running to first. I literally had to shake my hands to get the bat off, but I say this because i don't think it's a bad thing. I like knowing that it will stick to my hands while swinging. And note, this only happened once. The draw back, and this may happen with pine tar too, is that it accumulates a lot when you constantly apply it. It just builds up. To me, it's a minor problem, but I just take some time out of my day and scrape it off every few weeks.

Provides the stickiness that you need in order to use a wooden bat. It is a lot less messy than pine tar and stays sticky for a long period of time. I owuld have given it 5 stars, but the cardboard tube is not the best application as it become troublesome to tear away as the stick is used.

I use athletic tape on my bats and can't get the tackiness from most of the liquid pine tar products I've tried but this stuff makes the grip sticky and it doesn't wear off. It's like a big hard crayon and once you color your grip it remains tacky. I play in all weather including rain. Liquid pine tar makes your bat slippery when it's wet, not this stuff. This is a great product, I wish I'd found it a long time ago.

JUST ORDERD PRIME, GOT TODAY 3/19/13... HARD AS A BRICK... MUST BE LEFT OVER FROM LAST YEAR... IN ADDITION TO THAT THE PACKAGING IS NOT GOOD... THIN PIECE OF CARDBOARD ON TOP TO SEAT THE STICK... NO GOOD

Doesn't really give the kind of color most pine tar does but very sticky tac that lasts long..with rosin even better but the only bad thing about this is the color..it leaves a pinkish and brownish colors

this comes in a cardboard tube that you peal away before rubbing onto a baseball bat. it looks and feels like hard candle wax. i've used it on baseball bats and golf clubs. it is very easy to apply and goes exactly where you want it. once rubbed onto the grip surface it is tacky, but not gummy like pine tar. it is fairly easy to remove - i use a fingernail or old credit card to scrape it off.

buy this pine tar for the second time and is not equal not have the same quality of the other has a color like pink and feels when applied at bat as a cream, the other was brown colored crystal and beat incredible at bat, perhaps this product was expired

It's definitely sticky and does a good job but I'm disappointed that if any dirt gets on it it almost instantly loses all it's tackiness. I have had to reapply before every game and now there is a serious buildup on my bat of this stuff after just five games of use. Pine tar, while a little messy, seems to hold its tackiness for a little longer.
