    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
