The Ink Dot test was established as a response to the alarming rate of multi-piece bat breakages in Major League Baseball beginning in 2008. Bats with poor slope of grain — where the wood grain runs at a steep angle rather than parallel to the bat — are far more likely to break apart dangerously during play, posing a real risk to players and spectators.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's how it works: after the bat is sanded down, a drop of black ink is placed on the handle. As the ink absorbs into the wood, it bleeds along the grain. If it bleeds straight — parallel to the bat — the slope of grain is sound, and the bat is strong, safe, and durable. If it bleeds at an angle, the bat doesn't make the cut. \u003cstrong\u003eChandler manufactures every bat to MLB Ink Dot testing standards\u003c\/strong\u003e so that hitters at every level get the same safety and quality assurance as the pros.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- ===================== BRAND STORY ===================== --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout Chandler Bats\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDifferent By Design™ — Founded in 2009\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChandler Bats was founded in 2009 in East Norriton, Pennsylvania, with a singular mission: to improve safety and quality in baseball through superior wood bat engineering.
