Practice bat is different

Coach

I have several bats I use for practice and they have different rubber than my "good" bat I use for tournaments and round robin club events.  It seems like using the same bat and rubber for practice and tournaments is the best option but does it really make that big of a difference?

cheers

Hi Andrew,

It is important to practice with the same or very similar bat to the one you are using in competition.  It is too difficult to make subtle changes in a match when you start using different bat.
