A: Griptec products can enhance grip and control, but they must be used within cricket’s rules—especially around ball handling. Here’s how each product is typically used:

• Griptec Paste: Apply a small amount to your hands before batting only. It provides long-lasting tackiness and is great for helping batters maintain a solid grip on the bat. It cannot be used while bowling or fielding, as it may be considered ball tampering.

• Griptec Spray: Spray onto your hands before batting for an instant grip boost. It’s clean, quick to apply, and perfect for humid or sweaty conditions. Like the paste, it is not allowed while fielding or bowling due to the potential for altering the ball’s condition.

• Griptec Dry Grip: Specifically designed for use during fielding, Dry Grip keeps hands dry and improves control without being sticky or affecting the ball. It’s the only Griptec product permitted during fielding and can be reapplied during breaks if needed.

Always follow the rules of your competition or league, and use each product as recommended to stay compliant.

A: Griptec is the original name in hand grip technology—trusted by elite cricketers around the world for its performance, quality, and innovation. From local clubs to international stars, Griptec is used across top competitions including the Big Bash League (BBL), Indian Premier League (IPL), The Hundred, and various international formats.

Griptec has a strong presence in major cricketing nations like Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and especially India, where grip and control are crucial in challenging playing conditions. Even cricketing icon Virat Kohli has been seen using Griptec—proof that the best in the game trust the best in grip.

Whether it’s batting with Paste or Spray, or fielding with Dry Grip, players at all levels—from international pros to grassroots clubs—rely on Griptec to perform at their best, without compromise.

Note: Always follow the rules of your competition regarding product use during play, especially when handling the ball.

Griptec is made from a tacky, non-slip compound that is typically composed of a combination of rubber-based or silicone-based materials, along with adhesive agents. The formula is designed to create a temporary, enhanced grip on the skin without being too sticky or leaving residues. This allows players to have better control of the ball, even in wet or slippery conditions.

While the exact composition of Griptec’s products is proprietary, its main function is to improve friction between the hands and the ball, which helps reduce the chance of fumbling.

A: Applying Griptec properly helps you get the most out of your grip, whether you’re batting, bowling, or fielding. Here’s how to use each product the right way:

• Griptec Paste: Use a small amount (about the size of a pea) and rub it evenly into your hands before batting. Let it set for 20–30 seconds for maximum tackiness. Do not use when bowling or fielding, as it may be considered tampering with the ball.

• Griptec Spray: Shake well, spray directly onto your hands before batting, then rub hands together. It’s a quick, clean option that dries fast and gives a solid grip. Again, only for batting, not for bowling or fielding.

• Griptec Dry Grip: Perfect for fielding or wicketkeeping. Apply a small amount to dry hands before going onto the field. It keeps moisture at bay and adds dry tackiness without affecting the ball, making it fully compliant for fielding use.

Make sure to apply during warm-ups or scheduled breaks, and follow league rules around grip products to stay match-legal.

A: Yes, you can use Griptec Paste and Spray for cricket, but only to enhance grip through your gloves. These products help you maintain a solid grip, especially in sweaty or humid conditions.

Just keep in mind that you cannot use them while bowling or fielding, as they could be considered ball tampering. For fielding, Griptec Dry Grip is a great option to keep your hands dry and in control.

A: Griptec products are designed to last, but how often you apply them can depend on conditions and personal preference:

• Griptec Paste: Apply a small amount before the game—this usually lasts for several hours. In hot or sweaty conditions, a top-up at drinks or innings breaks can help maintain grip.

• Griptec Spray: Quick and easy to apply, the spray is ideal for reapplication throughout the game. Use it before play and reapply as needed, especially if your hands get wet or dusty.

• Griptec Dry Grip: Specifically designed for fielding, Dry Grip keeps your hands dry and tacky without the stickiness of paste or spray. It’s the only Griptec product recommended for use while fielding. Apply before heading out and top up during long spells or when sweating increases.

In short: apply before the game, and reapply during breaks if needed to keep your grip consistent and reliable.
