I have hydrabats, masonite bats, wooden bats, etc.
If/when the holes of my plastic bats (3/8" thick plexiglass, home made) get
worn and sloppy, I heat the hole carefully (gently, takes some
experimentation to find out how much) with a bic lighter, untill it becomes
a bit soft and pliable, then gently tap tap with a small ball peen hammer,
using the ball end. This deforms the hot, soft plastic back into a nice
tight fit on the batt pin. Works for me with my home made plexiglass
batts.
My next bats will be home made hardiboard, and being familiar with the
product as a construction material, I expect them to be my best performing
bats. We'll see.
Hope this helps someone.
