What is the age range for these bats?

Can I buy individual bats instead of a pack of 12?

Troubleshooting
Bat grip becomes slippery
Wipe the handle with a clean, dry cloth to remove perspiration or dust buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply distribute the bats based on the desired team color. No assembly is required. To maintain the longevity of the product, store the bats in a cool, dry area away from direct, prolonged sunlight to prevent plastic degradation over time. Clean them periodically with a soft cloth and mild soapy water if they become dirty during outdoor play. Ensure they are dry before storing them in a storage bin to prevent any mold or moisture buildup.
