How do you apply pine tar?

Answer 1

Well first of all to do it correctly and the least messy way to do it is to apply it with a pine tar rag or just a rag. Apply the pine tar on the rag ( you might want to put some athletic tape on the other side of the rag if your using an ordinary one so it doesnt soak through). Apply until the rag is sticky dont hesistate to put a lot becouase you can reuse it later. Now rap the rag around the bat handle and keep doing so until you can see the bat handle is covered and has just enough to where it is sticky, you dont need to much but enough to last you a game or so. I recommend wearing batting gloves and when your gloves get slick any between pitches grab the handle of the bat and to enhance your grip. You can also apply to your helmet. Pine tar is also proven to give you faster bat speed because you dont have to grip the bat as tight. Hope this helps
