- a friend suggested that before i re-drill my sloppy fitting bats that i simply exchange the pin heads for new ones. sure enough the old pin heads were worn to the point of making my bat holes fit sloppy! and here i was thinking i was just using the wrong kind of bats! and also putting off the task of re-drilling ALL my bats.
try it before spending the time drilling new bat holes. it's funny how most ALL of my sloppy bats are suddenly ok again??
- another friend showed me his method of making lids at the last minute - and zapping them in his microwave for about 2 minutes to force them leather dry real fast to trim RIGHT NOW. useful if you forgot to make a lid, or messed up a lid.
he threw off the hump and essentually kept some of the huimp material as a clay bat for later trim use.
the concept of using the microwave to trim something so fast from just thrown is pretty neat.
see ya
