What all do you guys pine tar?

I am still trying to figure it all out--we used to use dirt and spit--- then came pine tar--then came batting gloves---why do you need batting gloves if you use pine tar--but then why not use spit and dirt like we used to do

when exactly did pine tar and batting gloves and taped handles all start to come around anyways. I'm 15, so I wouldn't know.

this next year we are moving to wood bats, so i will put pine tar on my maple bat and my helmet

People put pine tar on metal bats, why i dont know . maybe because they think its cool. The only valid reason i can see is to keep people like me from picking it up! lol.

That's half the reason I use it. Also because it's more fun, and I get a better grip because I like a smaller handle, and the leather grips are too thick, tape is much thinner, and just tape, doesn't give me a good grip, so I use tar. I hate it when people put tar on leather grips, that is stupid. I also use it on my woody. I don't put tape on it, just tar.

Adam-

I do the same thing. I don't like the thick grip that came with it so I took it off and put tape around it. I don't know why but it feels ALOT better to me when im hitting. Ive never put pine tar on that though. The tape has always been enough for me. I don't use batting gloves either.

i dont really use pine tar but i do use tape....but some kids on my team do it gives them a sticky feel and more grip

I wear batting gloves and the leather grip that comes with the bat. I havent owned a game bat in a couple of years. I have a BP bat that has a tapped grip. And i use my friends EXO which has the leather grip and no pine tar. I'll probably get an EXO for next season since i will be in college. I will leave it the way it is.
