Rawlings. Did you get the speech about the grain in the bat and what not? And don't be an idiot and put pine tar on your helmet. I recommend putting the pine tar on above your grib then letting the shit come off your gloves onto the handle, as you bat. Versus just putting pine tar straight onto the handle.

Also don't use too much

also your going to eat through gloves

also wood bats are fucking awesome.

The 'liquid garbage' I always found much better than sticks.

The strength of the wood is based on what kind of wood it is, but if you have shitty inconsistent grain its going to break no matter what its made out of.

Im a Mizuno Maple fan.

Liquid is the only way to go.

I don't care who you are, if there is pine tar on your helmet Im going to stick bottle caps and whatever else I can find on it.

I had tried it and could never get past the slightly slippery, elmer's glue stick feeling it caused. Grab an old hand towel and squirt some of the liquid stuff onto it. Work it hard onto the handle above your tape, work it softly/not too much onto your tape. Boom.

WHAT?

Dude corking your bat is the only way to win, everybody else is doing it, if you're not, then you're a loser.

Marucci bats are the best. I use the AP5 and love it. If you are in the market for a new wood bat, I would recommend it for sure. As for pine tar, I don't really pay much attention to what type I use at all.
