Good Bat Inserts / Mehhh Bat Holder

I bought this a few weeks ago and here are the pros and cons of the product. Cons: The real bit holder starts to deform. Worst of all, it flexes in such a way that it basically wobbles on the wheel, making it very difficult to do anything (centering, throwing, lifting, etc.). I recommend the manufacturer make it so that both sides can accommodate the insert so if one side is bent you can flip it over and hopefully flatten it out while continuing to use it on the wheel. The racquet itself is very thick and on the other hand can easily fit into a different slot, maybe even a round slot instead of a square one. Cons: The inserts aren't as tight as we'd like, so the inserts are slightly misaligned. which can throw you off center at high speed. Temporary repairs fill in the gaps with clay, which really only solves the problem temporarily. Pros: The inserts save you space on your drying rack by not having to put a whole racket in there. Deposits are quite cheap. I recommend that you use a screwdriver to pry the bit out when you're ready to remove it from the wheel. Overall I spent the money to buy the system and 6 extra bits but now that the actual bit holder is deformed they are pretty good. much useless. If you use a low speed and may be able to dry the racket between two heavy flat objects to avoid deformation, otherwise the additional maintenance is a product defect.
