Discussion: Bat Advice-Break in and onward

For U bat experts--It is pretty standard when breaking in a new bat to turn it 1/4 turn after each hit in batting practice. Now, when it is show time. Do u big hitters just grab the bat and hit OR do U pick a side of the bat and always hit off that same side???
Most hitters turn a new bat less than a 1/4 inch after each swing. Some bats show numbers 1-8 on them and some players mark their bats themselves. If you don't rotate these bats every time and your a power hitter, you might break it sooner if hitting the same area constantly.
