Will this damage composite bats?

My daughter who is 9 is using a composit bat and I've takin some good swings with her bat and haven't seen nothing wrong with the bat. Now I wouldn't say over time it won't ruin the bat. The best way to use this machine is not to power swing but to hit it around 75%. It's more about hand eye coordination and muscle memory and the right way to swing... Swinging to hard makes the ball jump around instead of an even swing around the pole... Overall I'm really happy with it

I use this on all of our teams mako's and it cause no damage to the bats nor the machine. the material the stick and ball are made of are a softer material than the little league balls are made of.

I bought it for my grandson and he uses it but I don't know if it will throw a breaking pitch. I'll see what I can find out.

Yes. The tee is very study and not very likely to be knocked over by a foam bat. My son was 2.5 when he started using it with a wiffle bat

Im not 100% sure about composite, however I have a wooden deck and I have absolutley zero issues. I use it under a Charbroil offset smoker.

The issue is not damage in transit. The metal from which the trap is made is too thin. It simply cannot the absorb the impact of a pellet without significant damage. The pellet that I used were for target shooting not the ones used for hunting. I can send a picture showing the damage that one pellet caused.

You may wish to treat for the benefit of the bats depending on your climate. It is recommended to paint the roof and sides brown or black in colder climates to keep the bats warm (see map). Do not paint the inside or the landing area so the paint does not affect the bats. This map has color recommendations based on climate:http://www.batcon.org/pdfs/bathouses/ColorRecs.pdf

If they are not hurting anything just leave them alone. They interact well with other animals, they will stay out of your way and they do not destroy anything. They are not like rodents and some other wild life. I have bats that nest next to where my goats bed down and there is not any issues.

I have over 1000 throws against a split log, still throwing. I built a target from 2x4 hit it so many times I gouged out the wood and hit a nail it dented the blade.

I don't have my bat house hung yet, so don't have a clue. Am waiting for my son to have a rest from farming to nail it up for me. It won't be as close as I'd like it, but have been told that the bats fly far enough to eat bugs that it won't matter. I hope that is right!!

I always take the tape off my bats and they the Easton S1 and MAKO bats. So I understand your concern with price. I have only seen one with an over layer and it was goofy at best. Go to YouTube and watch the lizard skip how to video. Very easy

yes it will damage floors unless they are somehow scratch resistant, or carpeted

I don't think so, it has plastic corpus so I think that high heat will damage it.

I don't know if it is but can't really see how it could damage one. I've only used it to clean a solid gold ring and plastic/metal gaming miniatures.

My son-in-law used this for when coaching youth league baseball so I asked him and he said softballs would be no problem. I know it is built sturdy. Hope this helps. I do know that when he used this, the fielders (10 to 12 yr olds) had to get used to not hearing the bat hitting the ball.

Yes. I used a small wood block to hammer in the casters to prevent damage. No problems

I can't be sure as I have not tried but it has good grip and extremely puncture proof so it will provide the necessary protection for your hand. If the grip was not sufficient, you could buy a tacky spray that they make for bats to increase the grip when swinging. Either way, it should work

I don't think the holes would stop bugs... But a bat won't be able to (or want to) go thru the holes. Take a look at the picture - the roll is about 4 or 5 inches wide, the mesh is like a kitchen scrubby pad. The idea is that critters don't like to touch/taste this stuff - that's what keeps them out. In use, you stuff wads of this stuff in the hole(s) that critters are using as entry points - after which, the critters will be strongly discouraged.
