Q: I've heard that hard cold balls will dent the bat, is that true?
A: Softballs and baseballs can also be effected by cold weather. Due to the multilayer construction of these balls it can take hours for the core of the ball to become hard due to the cold. An extremely cold ball can not only dent a metal bat but also effects the performance of the ball itself. The ball manufacturers rate their balls performance typically at 70° Fahrenheit. The best solution for cold weather play is to keep the balls in a heated state as rules allow and change balls every inning with a warmed one.

Q: Does Rats Sizzlin Bats Bat Warmer work on a wooden bat?
A: You can use Rats Sizzlin Bats Bat Warmer on wooden bats. Just like their metal counterparts, wood is also affected by cold and heat. Wood will contract or shrink in cold temperatures and expand in warmer temperatures. Because wood conducts temperature differently than metal the wooden bat will initially take longer to warm up initially than a metal bat.

A: Rats Sizzlin Bats Bat Warmer is operated by the use of a common grounded 110 volt 2 speed hair dryer. By placing this hairdryer nozzle into the center hole of our bat warmers lid and turning it on its low heat setting, the warm air rapidly heats and dries the bats placed inside the bat warmer. This hair dryer is not included with the bat warmer.
Q: What about electricity to the hairdryer, what if there isn't an outlet?
A: If you don't have access to electricity then we hate to say it, but your out of luck! This generally isn't a problem because most ballparks have lights for night play and therefore have multiple outlets around for electricity. Remember to always bring an extension cord though for those especially far reaching outlets!
