Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this affect the bat's pickup or balance?
A: No, the thin clear film adds negligible weight (under 15 grams) and maintains the bat's natural balance point, making it virtually undetectable during play.
Q: Can I apply this to a new bat or only refurbished ones?
A: This protection works on both new and used bats. For new bats, apply after initial knock-in period. For older bats requiring "tidy up," ensure surface is clean and dry before application.
Q: How long does the fibreglass edge protection last?
A: The fibreglass tape provides reliable barrier protection against edge cracks and surface damage typically lasting a full season with regular club-level play, though replacement may be needed sooner for intensive net practice.
Q: Does this interfere with ball response or shot timing?
A: The clear facing maintains authentic ball-to-willow contact characteristics. The protection is designed to be performance-neutral, preserving the bat's natural response while preventing surface deterioration that could affect timing over time.
