    Best way to display a GU bat?

    I may have a bat coming in and I want to display it since it's cracked (I don't want it left out in case it ends up breaking somehow).

    I want a nice looking, but cheap way to display it. If there isn't one, I can settle for a tube for storage.

    Unless you plan on slamming the bat on the ground when you receive it then you shouldn't have any worries about it breaking.

    I display mine either in bat tubes on inside of display cases. I usually have a penny behind it (or sometimes in front) to keep it displayed in the correct position.

      This is the best product I have ever found. They are at Lowes and are about $2.00 each, but one hook does one bat. It is designed to hook into pegboard and hold your cordless drill. I cut it in half, and it fits a bat perfectly! The hooks are rubber coated also! I will post pics of the bat case I built using these later.

        I've used a similar product like that before; except it was 2 rubber hooks and I would get them at Walmart for about 40 cents each. I still use them to hook into my wall and hold up bat tubes. It's definitely the most cost efficient way to display a bat

          cheapest display I ever found... And cleanest look using a bat tube...

          drill tiny 1/16" (maybe, whatever is barely bigger than the hanger) near top of bat tube...
          insert sidewinder picture hanger in wall
          hang bat tube on hanger


          OOK has been the trusted expert in hanging since 1964. Hanging can be complicated. But our hardware isn't...
