Someone mentioned that the holes they drilled
into their bats were not satisfactory.
If you take one you know to fit well and use it
as a guide when you drill I think you will
be happy with the results. I clamp the good one
over the ones to be drilled. You can use the good one
as a stencil if you are worried you will mess it
up.
Like Elizabeth, I put clay on the pin for
the ones that have worn holes or badly drilled holes.
