Single Baseball Bat Holder (Also works with hockey sticks)

thingiverse

I play baseball and I noticed that when I came home from baseball games there was no way to hang my baseball bats up securely. This realization sparked a creative challenge, and I decided it was time to make a reliable baseball bat holder. After researching existing options, I found many unsatisfactory baseball bat holders on the market, priced at $10 each. The reviews were overwhelmingly negative, with customers complaining that these holders would break easily when hung up. Undeterred by this discovery, I embarked on an eight-version journey to create a sturdy and dependable bat holder. Through trial and error, I successfully designed a model that works reliably without breaking easily. To ensure the longevity of your own bat holder, remember to use minimal force when hanging it up. I am excited to announce that soon I will be releasing versions for two and three bats.
