BAT CARE TIPS
Bat Care Tips
Because our bats are made from the finest timbers and are subjected to the highest level quality evaluation we want to make sure that you know how to make your FONZA Bat last as long as possible.
1. Never ever throw your bat or any other piece of equipment except the baseball.
2. Practice with soft toss and tee work when you first use your new FONZA Bat. This will help train your eye to ensure proper contact with the ball when facing live pitching.
3. Always position the bat in your hands so the FONZA logo is facing you (up), or that the logo is on the opposite side facing away from you (down).
4. Dont leave your bat in the car on a hot day. Your car can become an oven. High heat can bake the moisture out of your bat causing it to become brittle. Long periods of exposure to heat is not good for any bat.
5. Dont hesitate to contact us with any of your questions. We love hearing from you.
Unfortunately there are no guarantees with wood bats. But the better you can take care of your bat, the longer it will last.
