Hi,
Thanks for posting the latest products. Keep posting for more.
What kind of Pine Tar do the Pro’s use? Is there anything else they do to their bats?
Cody, that is a good question. There are only a few types of pine tar that I would use or recommend. I talk more about them on our page for Training Aids and Protective Gear. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the timely response. I was browsing the site and clearly didnt see that but Thank Again. Love the site by the way.
You guys should do an article on glove conditioners and the importance of it. There are so many types and brands of conditioners it would be awesome to hear how a pro takes car of his mitt. Thanks.
