Aluminum Bat Care Tips

1

Limit the bat to your individual use only. Sharing your bat with other players will shorten its life span.

2

Rotate the bat 1/4 turn each swing. Hitting the ball on the same side of the bat each time can cause denting.

3

Use with leather-covered balls only. Avoid batting cage balls which tend to be more dense than the bat walls were designed to tolerate and can result in denting.

4

Use only with softballs that do not exceed 500 lbs. compression. Please note that high compression softballs are harder and more likely to damage your bat.

5

Do not use in temperatures below 60 degrees Fahrenheit (16 degrees Celsius). In cooler temperatures, the ball becomes more dense, which puts more stress on the bat walls and can result in denting.

6

Do not store in extremely hot temperatures, such as the trunk of a car. The plastic end cap contracts and expands at different temperature rates than aluminum, which can result in end cap failure. 

7

Do not use to clean metal spikes or cleats. Scratches and other surface abuse can diminish the performance and life expectancy of your bat.

8

Do not hit waterlogged balls. Wet balls are heavy and more likely to damage your bat.

9
