| Dec. 9, 2010 Webbie25 Men's 70 2414 posts | I have never had a problem in my bat bag, but I do make sure to have 3 bats for support so one bat doesn't take the brunt if something happens. |
| Dec. 9, 2010 J R 251 posts | I bought a golf travel bag and slipped over my softball bag. It gave good protection and added more packing for small items |
| Dec. 9, 2010 Brett Men's 55 239 posts | Tape a sheet of bubble wrap around each bat. |
| Dec. 9, 2010 hitman Men's 70 339 posts | I bought a good soft wheeled golf travel bag and it works great. Put the bat bag in and fill it right up to 50 lbs max. and then only have a small carry-on. Gives the bats some extra cushion and on return trip a good place for all those great smelling clothes!!!!! The Hitman |

| Dec. 9, 2010 Wes Men's 65 335 posts | If you want to just ship a bat or two I got a 3",one bat or 6" two bats of thin wall PVC sewer pipe and two end caps and had no problem. |
| Dec. 10, 2010 B-DUB Men's 65 30 posts | Thanks for all your help.. It's looks like there are a few options depending on what your bringing. Protection seems to be the major factor. |
| Dec. 10, 2010 PlanoPlayer Men's 65 72 posts | To me, the issue is safety ftom theft as well physical protection of the actual bat(s). If you are in a position to, buy a bat bag that has lockable zippers for the bat storage area. I had a buddy of mine have his bats stolen or come up missing while in the airlines poseesion on a trip back from Phoenix two years ago. Haven't tried the golf bag idea yet but that sounds like it would work as well. Make sure no one can get to your bats! |
| Dec. 10, 2010 taits Men's 65 4548 posts | Plano, By any chance is there a Henry Lacrose listed in that city? |
| Dec. 15, 2010 PlanoPlayer Men's 65 72 posts | taits: I looked in the white pages for Henry Lacrose and Henry Lacrosse and could not find any listings. |
