12-inch Bat Support Cloth Pair

12-inch Bat Support Cloth Pair

A two-piece cloth accessory sold for use between a wheel and a bat, rather than as a rigid throwing bat.

Choose this when: Your bat setup calls for a compatible support cloth and you have confirmed the supplier’s use instructions.

Consider the tradeoff: A cloth does not correct bent pins, an incompatible bat or a mechanically wobbling wheelhead.

Understand which part this replaces

The listing calls these items BatMate, but also describes round throwing cloths. We do not infer an established manufacturer's identity from that wording. The important distinction is that this is a flexible support accessory, not a rigid surface on which a pot can be carried to a shelf.

Check the intended placement and wetting instructions in the actual product documentation. It should be considered only as part of a compatible wheel-and-bat arrangement. Do not use a cloth to compensate for a pin pattern that does not match or for a bat that is visibly damaged.

Diagnose movement before buying an accessory

If work wobbles, first establish whether the movement comes from clay centering, a poorly seated bat or the machine itself. Those are different problems. Adding material under a bat without understanding the cause can leave the original issue unresolved.

The two-piece pack may provide a spare for a setup that already uses this kind of support. For a new wheel owner, however, it belongs after confirming the supplied bats and following their instructions. It is not an automatic requirement for every electric wheel, and the 12-inch dimension alone does not prove compatibility.
