Knocking in, and does it ever work like people say?
« on: May 11, 2013, 03:39:50 PM »

So I am knocking in my RK and it's been pressed pretty hard already. I think it's been knocked in well but there are areas where i get seam marks. However I look at one of my bats that's already been knocked in and doesn't have a scuff sheet and it has loads of seem marks but no damage. So I am thinking this....

Does a bat ever become so well knocked in that you don't get seems marks? Cause i'm not sure that this is the case.

Oh and when I am knocking a ball up and down I am using a brand new one so I can test if the seam marks are really deep as it is really pronounced.

Even a fully knocked in bat will leave seam marks.

I've never been one to knock in bats for the recommended time. I just find it so tedious.
My bats seem to always break at the toe, I do wonder as to whether that could be why!
