Are bats sensitive to changes in temperature?
• Aluminum bats, especially higher performance models with thinner walls, should not be used in temperatures below 50 degrees. • Cold temperatures make the composition of the ball more dense, especially the new “Compacted Core” balls. This puts unusual stress on the bat walls which will result in denting • Bats may also be sensitive to very hot temperatures and should not be stored in areas that are exposed to high heat, such as car trunks.
