No break in procedure was mentioned in the manual. Here is a copy of the manual:http://www.manualslib.com/manual/661202/Senco-Pc1131.html#manual

It was at the time. However I HIGHLY recommend not purchasing this bat. Both of the ones we had suffered the same break. We have had ones from DeMarini and Louisville Slugger that have multiple seasons and are still going strong. If money is an issue there are many,many, softball players who upgrade yearly and then sell off their still good used bats. Perhaps that is another option for some.

I really don't know why they advertised it that way. My son used it with an aluminum bat and it worked just fine. The only thing we can think of is if you would hit the post with either bat you could damage the bat.

You can. It's a smaller strike zone area. The pitcher will really have to concentrate on hitting his spots or you will be chasing lots of balls down.

Yes, my Daughter is currently using this exact bat in the USSAA league. Nice sweet spot to get those great hits!

Unless you're planning on batting by method of leaving it out on the street and letting the bat take on a Steam Roller, a Mastodon, or an airplane landing on it, I haven't had much trouble. This bat has been awesome so far. If you want something more "traditional" go wooden. But for the price, this thing's is as reliable as 'Ol reliable. I would've said Old Yeller, but we know where that story goes.

Hi.I'm not sure of the exact way but. I use a extra large batting glove and its still tight on me. My hand is 8.25 inches from the last line below my palm to the end of my middle finger. I hope that helps.

I believe so. The warranty is based on purchase new date. So if u buy a new bat, not used, one year warranty

Yes the bat can go in either direction. It depends on how you place the base.

It was for us in North Carolina. Some states may have different regulations. It was a great bat for my son. The light weight really helped his reaction time , contact with the ball just comes with practice. Good luck.

This is a handshake bat, one can use it as a penhold but its not very comfortable, there are specific penhold bats which are more comfortable to grip and has rubber only on one side, i have two penhold bats which i bought from the far east

Depends on the bat used. I have the boys use a heavier wooden bat when training on this to strengthen hands, wrists, and overall swing. When used with a wooden bat noise is very minimal.

Yes, you could, but you'd need to use some sand bags or something else heavy to anchor the legs. It will jump around a lot. One of the suspended ball devices, like the SoloHitter, could be used indoors without tying it down, if the ceiling is high enough down there. I like the Solo Hitter a lot, but I think they are a little more expensive than the Hurricane. It is more realistic, you feel the ball "travel" off the bat a little bit, and there are quite a variety of drills you can do with them.

Check your league website. They usually have a listing of approved bats. This bat was legal last year.
