Dec. 23, 2005 Creaker 1 posts | Solar bat warmers Anyone know where I might find the address for a company in Arizona that sells solar bat warmers? The last one I bought was several years ago for about $18.00. |
Dec. 23, 2005 armiho211 Men's 70 449 posts | creaker, what happens when a warm bat hits a cold ball? sounds like trouble to me. unless you have already experienced positive results in the past, i would hate to use my good bat in such a situation . maybe an old bat. my .o2 cents. maybe somebody else can express their experiences. thanks. |

When they got up they would throw in a fresh cold ball and put the one that was out back into the cooler. I believe the ball travels betteron hot moist days but a cold ball is denser and will travel further on those hot days. |

On sunny days (which doesn't happen to often up here) you can put the bats in there for about 20 minutes, pull them out and hold on to the barrell! Burns your hand in 5 seconds! As for hitting, it absolutely makes a difference! You don't even feel the ball coming off the bat! The one you get up here goes for about $100 Can.Our whole team swears by that bat box! |
