Brother Chad Dailey (Missouri) and his crew been trying something a little different for grip on poly axe handles. They took a wood burning iron and put a rounded/blunt tip on it to plunge into the handle every half inch or so. These little holes were continued all the way around the handle as far up and down as a normal grip tape would be wrapped. The iron melts a small hole in the handle to a depth of 1/8″-3/16″ and causes the extra material to bubble up around it and re-harden. In addition to the indentations, it creates raised material around each hole.
