I used to have the old version of these, but I could never fit it on my big barrel. Does the "felt" on the inside of this version make it easier. How quickly can you put it o and off.

The Tuff Sleeve Bat Protector has not changed much over the years. The Tuff Sleeve does fit well on the 2 1/4" barrel and the 2 5/8" barrel but does take some maneuvering to get it on the 2 3/4" barrels. Putting on and off the big barrels is not always quick but worth the protection.

Should we use the tuff sleeve during the break in period of a bat? Seems as if it will limit the force which is required for break in, right? Please advise and thanks.

The Tuff Sleeve is to protect your bat and allow less force on the barrel which would thus require a longer break in period on a composite bat. Only composite bats will have a break in period. The break in period is of the inner layers breaking down.
