At this time, we do not ink-dot our bats. Ink-dotting is requirement by the MLB to better see the grain of the wood on maple and birch bats. If a bat is not sold to the MLB, it is not required to have an ink-dot.
Although we do not ink-dot our bats, we do require strict criteria for the billets that we turn our bats from. All of our bats (pro, youth, and training) must have a slope-of-grain of less than 5 degrees, and must be dried to a moisture content of 12%. Every bat model is turned to the exact same specs every time. Unlike most manufacturers, our cup depth is pre-set and not simply determined after the fact to achieve a certain weight.
