XL Pottery Bat System, with 10- 8.5" inserts by Lucky Bats
This model has generously sized inserts to handle larger throws and fits most Full-Size Pottery Wheels- Shimpo/Skutt/Brent/Venco and others.
The master bat is reversible in that it can be turned over and used as a 12" bat. Engraved guide lines help center your work on the bat. That is especially useful for trimming.
The Lucky Bat System consists of one 12" master bat and ten 8.5" (21cm) inserts. The master bat in this set is carved from formaldehyde-free 3/4" Medex brand HMR MDF.
Inserts are made of 3/8" (9mm) Baltic Birch Plywood, which is also a premium material. (Unlike masonite)
The benefit of using plywood bats is that they release from clay more readily than plastic, as wood has absorptive properties. This makes removal of the thrown pot from the bat fairly easy. Check out our video showing how easily leather hard clay releases from a bat. No wiring off!
Bat pin holes are 3/8" (10mm) diameter and spaced 10" apart to fit most standard throwing wheels.
Inserts fit snugly in the bathole and a finger recess helps lift the insert holding your creation from the master bat.

Nice quality, smooth to the touch and no chemical smell! Looking forward to using these. Took about 2 weeks to arrive from the date ordered, I consider that fast, especially for free international shipping. Will buy again.
