True. But it does help to have a visual training aid so that we can spot potential trouble bats right away.

When it comes to ASA and NFHS games, I don't check every single bat's model number when I do my bat checks. I only do that for NCAA play. Does anyone here do a model number check when you inspect bats? Or do you look for bats that look like those on the ASA cheat sheet?
