Before I start to consider straps, I do a couple things:

1. Use mixed grip.
2. Work the grip. I have grip exercisers and I'll do 4x30s for now (that's 4 30 isometric holds). As my grip gets stronger, I'll increase 15 seconds.

I've had good results with this regimen, so I really don't look elsewhere for assistance. I think once I'm good enough for 1 minute holds, it's time to look at Captain of Crush grip exercisers.
