The Markwort Tuff Sleeve Bat Protection is a 9″ long synthetic rubber tube designed to slide onto wooden or aluminum baseball and softball bat barrels measuring between 2¼″ and 2¾″. With a cotton interior lining and tough outer surface, this sleeve absorbs impact energy and eliminates approximately 25% of ball-on-bat force without altering ball flight. Ideal for batting practice, cage drills, or instructional use, it also helps batters visualize the correct hitting zone while extending barrel life.
