Real Feel Temp Sticks

Protect. Optimize. Perform.

Real Feel Temp Sticks

What Are They?

Real Feel Temp Sticks are patent-pending thermochromic stickers that visually display a bat’s temperature using a color-changing scale. They help players, parents, and coaches ensure bats are within the optimal temperature range for peak performance and to prevent damage caused by extreme heat or cold.

Why Do You Need Them?

Baseball and softball bats are investments and perform best within specific temperature ranges. Using a bat when it’s too cold or too hot can cause cracks, dents, or inconsistent performance. Real Feel Temp Sticks provide a quick, visual solution to check if your bat is game-ready.

Why Players Trust Real Feel Temp Sticks

Experts across the industry agree—temperature matters when it comes to bat performance and durability. Major bat retailers and manufacturers consistently warn against using composite bats in temperatures below 60°F, as the cold makes them brittle and more prone to cracking and alloy bats under 50°F. They also emphasize the importance of proper bat storage, advising against extreme heat or cold, which can weaken a bat’s structure over time.

What the Experts Say:

JustBats.com

“Composite bats perform well in warmer conditions but are vulnerable in colder temperatures, as they can crack or become brittle when temperatures drop. If you only have a composite bat, be mindful of the risk, and avoid using it when temperatures are below 60°F.”

DiamondSportsGear.com

“Do not use in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not store the bat in extremely hot or cold temperature areas. It takes about 4 hours for a bat to reach the temperature that it is in. You can use the bats in colder weather as long as they are stored in warm places.”

BaseballSavings.com

“Don’t store your bat in extreme heat or cold. Regardless of bat composition, all bats are sensitive to temperatures. The extreme temperatures will add stress to the bat or loosen up the composition making the bat not as effective or stable.”

HeadbangerSports.com

“Do not play in cold weather (above 60°F only!). The temperature in which you use your composite bat matters! In cold weather, the fiber matrix in composite bats does two things. Namely, it contracts and gets more brittle. When the mercury drops, that means your bat gets brittle. Practicing with a composite bat in the cold is not all right. Making contact with a ball drastically increases your chances of snapping or cracking the bat. Moreover, even if you don’t see the damage, practicing in the cold can result in little fractures in the fiber matrix increasing the chances of early fatigue or cracking. The moral: practice and play only in temperatures above 60°F. Do not store your bat in excessively hot or cold conditions. Similarly, you should never store your composite slowpitch or fastpitch bat in excessively hot or cold conditions. While it’s worse to play with a bat in the cold than it is to store one in it, extreme temperatures can still stress the fibers, resulting in premature damage. Keep your bat with your other gear, somewhere protected against the elements, and inside if possible. Don’t just throw it in the garage.”

Anderson Bat Company

“Avoid using your composite bats under 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Using your composite bat in cold weather will cause it to flex less, which can compromise its integrity and result in a crack.”

AxeBat.com

“Store your bat properly: When not in use, store your bat in a cool and dry place. Avoid leaving your bat in your car or any place where it will be exposed to extreme temperatures. Extreme temperatures can cause the materials to expand or contract, resulting in cracks or splits.”

Unique-Sports.com

“Most baseball bats have weather restrictions in order to maintain their integrity. Using a baseball bat in weather cooler than 60 degrees Fahrenheit can end up being very harmful to a bat. The lower temperatures cause the density of a bat to change, thereby causing the bat’s make-up to become more brittle and more prone to cracks and dents. Storing your bat correctly can also help it last longer. Do not throw your baseball bat in the garage during the winter; keeping it away from extremely hot or extremely cold temperatures is imperative. Also, be sure to cover your bats with a bat sleeve if you have more than one, so they do not clash against each other.”

RipIt.com

“RIP-IT bats do not have any weather restrictions, however, most bats are not as advanced. Playing in weather below 60 degrees Fahrenheit can be very harmful to a bat. In lower temperatures, the density of the bat changes, causing the material to become more brittle. This makes the bat more prone to dents and cracks.”

BatClubUSA.com

“Avoid Extreme Temperatures - Bats should never be stored in places with extreme temperatures, like car trunks during summer or winter. Extreme temperatures can weaken the bat’s structure.”

Xbats.com

“Do not use in temperatures below 60°F. Do not store the bat in extremely hot or cold temperature areas (like the trunk of your car).”

How They Work:

The Temp Stick functions like a thermometer, transitioning through a 4-phase color scale as the temperature changes:

1. TOO COLD (40–60°F, Blue):

The sticker remains dark blue, signaling the bat is at risk for cracks or dents in cold conditions.

2. OPTIMAL (60–80°F, Green):

The sticker turns green, indicating the bat is in its ideal range for performance and durability.

3. WARM (80–100°F, Yellow):

The sticker transitions to yellow, signaling a caution phase. The bat is still safe to use but nearing its upper limit.

4. TOO HOT (100–120°F, Red):

The sticker turns red, warning the bat may be too hot for consistent performance and durability.

Durability and Shelf Life:

• The Temp Stick is designed to last one season or up to one year if undamaged.

• It includes built-in UV protection to resist sun exposure and extend its lifespan.

• However, regular exposure to direct UV light over time can reduce its effectiveness, so proper care is recommended.

Key Features:

• Visual and Intuitive: Clear color changes (blue, green, yellow, and red) provide a quick temperature reading.

• Accurate and Reliable: Built with advanced thermochromic materials for precision.

• Durable: Designed to stay in place and withstand normal use throughout a season.

• Lightweight: Non-intrusive and won’t affect bat balance or performance.

Benefits:

• Protect Your Bat: Avoid cracks, dents, or damage caused by extreme temperatures.

• Maximize Performance: Confirm your bat is ready for optimal power and consistency.

• Stay Warranty Compliant: Many bat warranties are void if the bat is used in unsafe temperatures. Temp Sticks help keep you within guidelines.

• Convenient and Easy to Use: A simple, visual tool to check bat readiness at a glance.

Who Should Use Them?

• Players: Keep your bat performing at its best.

• Parents: Protect your investment in your athlete’s equipment.

• Coaches: Monitor team equipment and avoid bat damage during extreme weather.

How to Use:

1. Apply the Temp Stick to a clean, dry section of the bat.

2. Before playing, check the color to determine the bat’s temperature.

3. Only use the bat when it’s in the green (Optimal) or yellow (Warm) ranges for safety and performance.
