Care and common questions
How should I care for this product?
Follow the bat manufacturer’s oiling, knocking-in and storage instructions. Introduce natural-willow bats gradually to hard-ball use; a workshop service does not guarantee immediate match readiness. Avoid excessive oil, damp storage and direct heat. Check face, edges and toe after play.
How do I choose the right size?
Choose pickup, not just appearance.
Use player height with the bat-size calculator, then consider comfortable pickup, playing level and ball type. Natural willow varies between individual bats. Approximate weight, grains, handle construction and included cover are only as stated in the product details. Email us for individual-bat weight and photos before ordering.
