In recent testing performed by an Alcoa metallurgist and new product
development manager, it was found that the cryogenically
treated bats displayed a reduction in residual stress. The
following benefits to bat performance have been observed:.
Improved durability to resist denting
A more pleasing, solid sound of impact with the ball
Better "feel" resulting
from some reduction of internal bat vibrations from impact
2 to 4% increase in hitting distancet
A new one for the
frustrated golfer who has tried everything: "Deep
Cryogenic Tempering."
Pete Paulin (300 Below, Inc. CEO) says he knows of no sport body
having rules against deep-freezing its gear, he says the company
also has treated race-car parts, rifle barrels used in competitions
and even golf balls.
