The sleeve is easy to use and provides protection for the bat to keep it from getting scratched up. It also extends the lifetime of the bat.

I got this on my son's usssa bat. it's not easy but wasn't terrible. I just placed the bat on it's endcap, enterred through the handle, and pushed it down. It did require some work. taking it off was much easier. The sleve is tapered,and you want the arrows at the end cap (there is a video out there of a guy putting it on backwards, may work with the 2 1/4 bat, but definatley not on a 2 3/4 since the sleeve is tapered it won't go on backwards) I feel much better now at the batting cages knowing my son's bat has some protection. Last time a pebble must have been lodged in the batting cage ball and left a gash on my son's old bat.update 8/3/19: I dropped it to 4 stars because while I still like it, after about 2 months of usage, the sleeve completely tore at the seems. Per the instructions, we never hit balls on the seem. To get an idea we went to the batting cages about 1-2 times a week. So in other words, it won't last 16 cage sessions. Now I admit, it was put on a 2 3/4 barrel which is a tight fit for the sleeve. But just wanted the USSSA people out there to know how long it would last.

Used it after my 10 year old son cracked his $400 demarini cf Zen. We got one free replacement bat. 28" -10 2 3/4 USSSA.The barrel has a snug fit and covers the important part of the barrel. He uses this at practice and takes it off for games. Insurance to protect high dollar bats at practice.

When your kid is swinging an expensive bat, and you don't want it easily damaged this is definitely the way to go. Most of the kids on my daughter's 10U travel team use these as protection. We have bought several of them, and each bat she owns wears one unless we are in a game. They can be pretty difficult to take on and off because they are very tight, but that just means they are doing their job.

Worked good the first couple of times using this in the batting cage. Third time my son hit the ball right on the seam and it split open. I would have thought it would hold up better than that.

Purchased for my 10-yr old son's 2-3/4" barrel bat (which the product says it will work with). Difficult to get on to say the least...takes a lot of force to get on. Picture below shows the tuff sleeve 5 mins after putting it on the barrel - without any hitting - looks pathetic and falling apart. With how difficult is was to get on, there is no way my son can put it on and remove the sleeve himself. Which makes it improbable to use when he goes to the cages or practice facility...as he and his buddies can't get it on the bat.Have used the product at the cages for about 150 hits thus far and the seams show sings of wear. Forget the tuff sleeve lettering, those started to fall off when putting it on the bat, they stood no chance with actual contact.Tuff Sleeve - make sleeves that fit barrel sizes. And if you are going to put your brand in 3" high letters, at least put some thought into the fact that it will stretch and pull off...conveying a seriously cheap product.Solid product idea, very poor execution. I am going to have to find an alternative.

I bought a $300 composite softball bat and wanted to practice with it in the cage, but I also didn't want to dent the bat with the dimpled balls that are typically used. Therefore I bought the Tuff sleeve to protect my bat and it worked perfectly. It slid onto the bat pretty easily. I rotated the sleeve after every round so that I could use different sides of my bat without hitting the ball at the seams of the sleeve. The only thing I didn't like about it was it's rubbery smell but I'm hoping that will wear off.
