hi I'm Maureen warrants and associated
Dick's Sporting Goods today we're
talking about baseball and softball bat
encounter
make sure you're suiting up with a
helmet that is comfortable fits properly
and above all else is safe batting
helmets are made from a strong plastic
material that helps protect the batter
from wild pitches hard tags and miss
throws they not only cover your head but
your ears too for more protection you
can consider getting a face mask which
is great for those who have braces chin
straps are another available option
which helps stabilize a helmet that may
be a bit loose when you step into the
batter's box there should only be one
thing on your mind that's knocking the
ball out of the park you don't want too
poorly fitted batting helmet to
interfere when it comes to sizing you'll
find that buying a batting helmet is as
easy as buying a fitted baseball cap all
you need to do is measure the
circumference of your head and find the
closest size available which you can see
on this size chart when you put the
helmet on make sure the lid of the
helmet sits in inch above your eyebrows
it should be even with the rest of your
head if it's tilted up like this then
you run the risk of taking a ball to the
forehead when you're running the bases
or batting if it's tilted too far
forwards like this the back of your head
will be exposed the last thing to look
for is to make sure your helmet is
approved by the national operating
Committee on standards for athletic
equipment you can find this out by
looking for the logo on the inside of
the back of the helmet this logo ensures
that your helmet has met every one of
the NoCs AES high standards of
protection every batting helmet at
Dick's Sporting Goods is certified but
the NOC SAE remember to take the time to
check out your options when buying a
batting helmet batter up
