The old fashioned way entails Brand or Foil stamping, which may be inducing an undue amount of pressure on the wood fibers that are the ultimate composition of the carved baseball bat. The potential for that pressure against the wood to cause internal fissures and damage that would be impossible to expose or be aware of is no longer necessary to do. This would be allowing for the baseball bat to be experienced full force as a hitting device, with no prior events to test its density and effect the solidity of its mass. Looking for the laser emblazoned baseball bats may prove to be a jump on having a more reliable and durable slugger.

Who wants to have all points in line, a sure swing ready for a home run, and just as ball meets bat, the splinter in the wood that you had no way of knowing was splitting with every hit, suddenly cracks? Don t risk losing your favorite, home run bat.

Did you know that it takes 42,000 pounds of pressure to emblazon an engraving onto the side of a baseball bat? We players take that for granted as we grab our trusted slugger and head to the plate. Who ever would have thought that the smash hit you’re aiming for has already undergone that kind of pressure?

It’s actually fascinating, the process and the concept. These days though, that process of customizing a baseball bat is almost passe. Most baseball bat makers today are leaping into the future of technology by using the ever so prevalently relied upon laser method for engraving their logos and signatures onto their bat products.

Generally these machines have a rechargeable battery which is very efficient, and removes the potential danger of having a power cord laying across the diamond.

Compressed air provides the force that propels each baseball or whiffle ball, and can send it reeling at either 25 to 65 miles per hour. Most affordable pitching machines will also double as a catching or outfielders practice run device as they will usually be able to throw over 125 feet high. With the optional external battery pack, capacity is doubled to over 1200 pitches, getting the whole team in good shape!

The smaller youth baseball leagues need to consider finding as many tools of the sport that will allow the greatest opportunity for youngsters to learn properly and develop their skills as possible. To start with, you can find pitching machine models that weigh only thirty pounds, which are extremely portable and able to be lifted and moved even by the young team mates in the little league ball clubs.

The lightweight pitching machines are easy to move around, but their ability to throw a ball is not spared at all. Even the lightest affordable pitching machines will deliver a baseball at 54 miles per hour, and from a total distance of 60 feet.
