This gives you more likely of a chance to make contact with the pitch, because you can swing the bat quicker with more accuracy. The downside is that it diminishes your power. Choking up on the bat is usually done on 2 strike counts, and sometimes for a very fast pitcher.

How do you install a black rubber bat choke on an aluminum bat?

Place some liquid soap around the ring of the bat choke and this should allow for it to slide over the knob. I tried liquid soap..I tried boiling the choke to make it more flexible...still to difficult/tight to get it over the knob of the bat. I have one good idea per year..I think this was it. Get a long hard plastic funnel (i.e. the type used for oil changes). Cut the funnel at the point where the open end is slightly (and I mean slightly) larger than the knob. Rub some liquid soap inside the bat choke (and on the funnel). Put the funnel on the knob of the bat and slide the bat choke down the funnel and over the knob. Easy as pie.
