To Bone or not To Bone

Hate to be repetitive. It's the indian not the arrow.

Whatever affect boning a bat had at one point in time, which was miniscule, if any IMO, has been long gone with modern manufacturing techniques.

Spend the time honing not boning. (your skills that is)

Thanks BOF, he has been in the cage with it quite a bit the last few days and loves the feel of it. Even wanted to use it in yesterdays game...

You HAVE to bone the bat!!! Tradition demands it! How else are you going to put the hits in it? Don't anger them!

I was going to add that hitting is mental and if it makes you feel good then why not.

Even if you don't bone the bat, make sure you have Jobu come and rid it of its fear of curveballs.

I hear you can tempt him with cigars and rum.

Chicken works well too... Just not KFC!

Keep mocking...

Boning a bat will help make the surface even again if there are a lot of scrapes and dings, on either a maple or ash bat. For ash bats, boning is more important because it's a more porous than maple, it will help harden the surface and close the pores by boning the wood of an ash bat. Don't bone a bat if it has finishing on it, you will just ruin or take off the finish. So Bone! If you are looking for a professional quality maple bat. Check out www.annexbaseball.com
