How long is the break in period for this bat?
8835
It says to hit 150-200 balls with it while rotating the bat with each hit. I believe the break in period may be just a little more than that......maybe 400-500 balls.

About 150 hits of the ball. We took our son to the bating cages and it was broke in after an afternoon.

This is not a slowpitch bat. This bat is used for fastpitch women's softball and typically our bats are drop 10. So yes it is actually 34 inches and 24 ounces. Hope this helps

If you gently squeeze the actuation trigger and you don't hear "hiss" or anything at all...it's out. The number of actuations will vary according to the length of the actuation, in other words, how long the trigger is depressed. So I can see one only getting seventy if you take long, deep, lung-filling "hits" vs. short "nips."

I haven't useed it since October, but I don't remember ever having to worry about the blade spinning once the trigger is released. So yes I do believe it has a break.

No break in procedure was mentioned in the manual. Here is a copy of the manual: http://www.manualslib.com/manual/661202/Senco-Pc1131.html#manual

I certainly would not. They are not meant for that use. Composite bats are made for slugging and distance, but can also break. I also think that use would void the warranty. It is not a "practice" bat.

Just a quick follow up, we bought one for our daughter who is 4' 6", 60-70lbs in 5th grade. We bought her a 29" 19 oz DeMarini, also called a drop 10 (-10). It's a good length and weight. You can find some good deals on these bats and if it's a starter, he will keep changing bats as his skill progresses. Good luck

No, and if you hit it off the end the bat will crack. Not worth the 25 bucks

The pins on the artista wheel are 3/8 inch pins on a 10 inch center, which is standard. Standard bats have the pin holes at this spacing no matter how big or small the diameter of the bat. The problem you run into is the size of the splash pan (the brown plastic, 2 piece, removal pan around the wheel head). A 7.5 or 9 inch square bat fits nicely, but I find it makes me dizzy watching the corners go around. Other people say it doesn't bother them. A 12 inch round bat fits perfectly. BUT, a 14 inch bat may hit the splash pan. I never tried one, but measured just now and it is close enough to be questionable. You can take the splash pan off and then you could use it - but then all the wet glop would fly off onto you and the surrounding area. Any larger than 14 inches would not fit at all because the motor mount that sticks up would be in the way. I recommend the 12 inch bats. Don't get the 10 inch Shrimpo Aspire bats - they WILL NOT fit. Don't panic if the new bats fit very tight. I had to gently sand a couple bat holes to get them to fit. But tight is good. Loose bats make it very hard to throw. You don't want any wiggle.

I got this bat for my 10 year old but I certainly would have purchased this bat for him when he was 9.30 inch / 17 ounceEaston YB14S500 S500 Youth Baseball Bat

There isn't a break-in but the problem might be the scraper. The scraper on the back bottom wears down just like the paddles and new paddles raise up the blower up. Look to see if you are blowing snow back under the back as you are going along. I always recommend replacing the scraper at the same time as the paddles.

Check your league website. They usually have a listing of approved bats. This bat was legal last year.

2,36 inches at the sweet spot. 1.02 inches at the grip. I'm a newbie. 39 years old and hit approximately 10 yards from homerun when our team have soft pitch practice. I really love this one, so I have copied it from a 33 to a 34, I use maple. I will think you will love this one. But who am I to tell, I am not got any other reference to go on. Except some bigger bats which is heavier than this one. Good luck if you are thinking of buying it. Regards. Daniel Sprengarfjord

We live in southern New Jersey. We bring out bat leaf into the garage in the winter. It lives in a planter on our porch from April thru December. We are in zone 7.

this is a little league approved bat, not a big barrel. I believe it is 2 1/4"

That varies, based upon, where you got it from. I got mines from Cricket, so the warranty was for about a week. However, the manufacturer's warranty is a different story.
