All the colors I use on my game bats are league approved. If you are in a youth league or you are a prep or college player, you may not be restricted in your color preference.
I will put any color you request on your bat, although not every color is shown. Typically, fungo bats are half finished in team colors. If you want full color finish, just let me know.
Your bat may be ordered with a full finish or a half finish. Full finish bats have the clear coat/sealer applied to the entire bat. Half finish bats have the clear coat sealer applied to the barrel only. Many players choose the half finish. Pine Tar sticks better to unfinished wood. Full finish bats offer better moisture protection and a light scuffing of the handle with #0000 steel wool will give the pine tar a good surface to adhere to. We offer both options but recommend full finish.
Cupping is done to remove weight from the bat. Removing weight transfers load and alters the balance point of your bat. Generally, cupping reduces 3/4 to 1 ounce of weight from your bat.
We will cup any profile upon request.
When you order your bat, shipping is added to the total. It costs more to ship A single bat than it does when you ship several. I know, this sounds like a cheap trick to get you to order more bats, and I’m okay with that. After all this is a business.
Truthfully though, that is how it works.
I do offer discounts for multiple bat orders. Also, I work a lot with high school and college teams and discounts apply there also. Call for specifics.
I give a lot of bats to pro players to try out. They’ve earned that privilege.
If you are not a pro, keep working; pay your dues, and when I see you at spring training, I’ll give you one to try out too.
Bats turned with a very large barrel and a very thin handle are susceptible to swing breaks. Vibrational nodes travel down the length of your bat when you make contact with the ball. Remember the last time your team won the World Series and everyone grabbed a champagne bottle, popped the cork, put a thumb over the end, shook like a paint mixer and then let go? All that carbonation went from that big bottle to that tiny neck, where it gained a lot of speed and then blew out the end like Mt. St. Helens.
That’s sort of what those vibrational nodes do. While your hands act to dampen vibration, when the area that the vibration occurs in is large, and then gets necked down quickly and excessively, the odds of it blowing out the sides before traveling out the end increase dramatically.
