After purchasing
the bat, start the knocking in processing your hardwood bat mallet,
start with 15-minute sessions until you have reached a total of
about three hours. It is most important not to forget the edges,
which will not need to be struck as hard as the face. Make sure
you do not crack the wood. Do not allow the bat (especially the
toe) to get wet. If cracks appear on the face or edges of the bat,
sand them out and re-apply a light coat of raw linseed oil to the
sanded area.
If you need any advice on what to do if any damage occurs to your
bat please feel free to contact us. |
