A fresh grip makes a big difference.

A worn-out grip can lead to the bat twisting or slipping in your hands, impacting the way you play your shots.

Safety isn't negotiable. If your helmet shifts during a shot, it isn't protecting you.

Shake Test: Unfasten the chin strap and shake your head. The helmet can move with your skin, but it should not slide independently across your head.

Strap Tension: Fasten the strap securely. Ensure no more than two fingers fit between the chin strap and your throat.

Have questions? Bring your helmet into any of our stores, and we will be happy to assist you.

3 Non-Negotiable Pre-Season Bat Checks :

Inspect for damage: Look closely at the toe and edges for surface cracks.

Clean & oil: Give your bat a light sand and apply a thin coat of oil to restore moisture.

Protect the toe: A worn toe guard can let moisture creep in.
