Asics Bat?  Isn't that a company that makes running shoes?

Pat, a Mattison 69, a rotary head lathe,is for super high production. In the old days used by LVS and other high volume bat makers to crank out tens of thousands of the same model bat. A Very dangerous machine in the past ,a bit safer now due to Western Cutter heads. Each bat model (profile or shape) will cost $7000. or so. Long set up times and change over. The CNC is now the choice and much safer and versatile.Tom at Barnstable Bat

Anyone use a Mattison 69? Are they any good for bats?

Just wondering if anyone sent any bats to be used in WBC?  I know most of the guys are MLB or former MLB, and prob had their own wood.

Vance,worry is not so good.Just do a good honest job . Billets can pick up or lose moisture after they leave the mill. Shipped to Arizona moisture loss,shipped to Florida,moisture gain. The trick is to keep the MC % steady. We here at Barnstable Bat Company keep the shop  temperature at 68% and humidity at 50% year round. The wood will equalize in about a week,then you will get a true weight reading. Ship a finished bat to Arizona ,drop an ounce or more. Ship a bat to Florida gain an ounce.  Wood is wood,climate is climate.Tom
