Bat Grips

My son switch hits but sees more at bats lefty. His grips have always unraveled and one of the stores said it was because they were wound for righties. Is there a grip, similar to a golf grip, that doesn't have to be wound a specific direction so he can use the same bat on either side of the plate. Or is there a padded tape that actually stays on for a good length of time so you don't have to worry about retaping all the time. Thanks for the help!

My son (a lefty) had the same problem. I got a regular roll of Easton leather bat grip tape (which was cut for the standard "righty" wrap) and cut the angle at the ends in the opposite direction, so I could wrap it the "other" way. I taped both ends with some black cloth bat tape for good measure. My son loves it, and it has stayed put. I tell him to tell any righty who wants to use his bat that it's a "left-handed" bat - which he does, to some puzzled looks. My advice: if he bats more lefty, wrap the handle for a lefty. A few right handed at-bats shouldn't make the wrap unravel.
