Ready Play Bats

Some of the bats we stock are pre-prepared in the factory by our suppliers.

We recommend at least a couple of hours with a ball mallet, and light throw downs with old balls in the nets to ensure your bat is "Game Ready". A light coat of oil on the exposed timber is also a good idea to protect the timber.

Most of these bats have Extratec anti scuff sheeting applied to the face of the bat which should remain on the bat during its lifespan. The Extratec anti scuff sheeting can be replaced, however we would suggest having this done in store by our repairer as removing the Extratec can be very tricky.
