Clean vs Dirty
I have Dudley End Loaded Bat, and the barrel has a substance on it that attracts dirt and grime. Does it make it any difference, performance, whether the bat has been dirtied up or if it is clean? I just used a scrub daddy sponge to clean it. Maddog, I know what your comment will be about my bat, are you hitting the ball hard enough to dirty it up?

Note: We just played in the Team Texas Shootout Tournament in Austin, it was ran extremely well and Tee Shirts were awarded to the 1st and 2nd place finishers. The Design Logo on the shirts are great.

From my understanding all you need to do is have a damp rag and wipe the barrel, it keeps it tacky (supposed to help put spin on the ball) not sure about that. I never wipe mine off and hit just fine with it, so I suppose its individual preference.

Clean for me. I keep a wet rag on the dugout fence and wipe it after every at bat if I throw the bat down. There is a teammate that doesn't like the tacky surface so he doesn't clean his.

Wet rag works for me the best. Most players I play with that use a dudley bat have a wet rag ready after every at bat.
