How To Series: Bat Care

How To Properly Extend the Life of Your Bat

Almega Sports is continuing with our "How To" series.  The next few blogs will address the most commonly asked questions we get in our retail store.

The maintenance and care of any bat is just as important as choosing the correct bat for your player.  Protect your investment by taking a moment to learn a few key tips to preserve the life of your bat.

• NEVER allow your bat to be a "team" bat.  Limit your bat to individual use.
• NEVER store your bat in extreme heat or cold such as in the truck of your vehicle.
• NEVER hit waterlogged balls.
• NEVER clean metal cleats with your bat.
• Do not use bats in temperatures below 60°F.
• Do not clean your bat with car wax.  Use a wet cloth.
• ALWAYS hit leather covered balls.
• ALWAYS rotate your bat 1/4 turn with each hit.
• ALWAYS keep your receipt for your warranty.

Remind your player that good bats are an investment and deserve to be properly cared for.  In doing this your players bat will easily last several seasons and possibly a few season for your next player.
