North Star Northstar Universal Batt System Info
The system includes one 13" batt holder and nine 5.5" square inserts.
***Care Notes (taken from the manufacturer):
1. Clean them after each use.
2. Avoid keeping them wet for long periods of time and avoid bending them when they are wet.
3. Warped bats can usually be flattened by drying them in a stack with a weight on them.
***Perfect Fit of your Inserts (taken from the manufacturer):
The final fit of the inserts is determined by the users personal preference. Inserts can absorb moisture and change dimensions slightly. The inserts are cut to fit tightly but you may wish to lightly sand edges for increased side to side play. Do occasional fit checks while you are sanding and after regular use on the wheel. After using the system several times, the wood will "settle in" and minimal changes to the dimensions of the inserts will occur.
