    • Works well... but do we need the blue dye?
I've been throwing with this for 5 weekly sessions and love that I don't have to anchor my bats down with clay anymore! It works well with plastic and MDF bats, both solid and with hollow/textured bottoms, and with my new bat insert system. I've let it dry out between sessions, left it under the plastic with my pottery, seems to be fine both ways and no deterioration yet. The only weird thing is that when I leave it touching anything else absorbent (clay, chamois, MDF/wood) the blue dye leaks out of the batmate and into the adjacent material. The dye seems to burn out of the clay when fired, but the batmate now looks faded and bleach-spattered, which is FINE, but maybe either pick a waterproof dye or don't dye it? The tan base color is adequate :) ... show more

    • Game Changer
I use this BatMate in conjunction with my Dirty Girls Bat system. I noticed that there was just a little wiggle room when the bat system was on my wheel's bat pins. Although it was slight, it was making centering and throwing more difficult in general. Now I place a damp BatMate under the system and it stays in place securely. A total game changer. If you struggle with loose bats, this product will definitely solve your problem. I've been using it for months now and I just rinse it with clean water after use, then store it in a plastic bag. It never smells funky and doesn't seem to be wearing out yet at all. It is a little stained from by darker clays but that's no big deal for me. ... show more

    • Love Love Love — blue 12 inch for Brent wheel and yellow 14 inch for Soldner wheel
I use this blue 12-inch Xiem BatMate on a Brent wheel and the 14-inch Xiem BatMate on the Soldner wheel. The material most closely resembles that of a swimmer's chamois towel. This product has saved me quite a bit of frustration and time. When my bat holes get a bit enlarge they wobble on the wheel head. NOw I don't have to put wet clay slop beneath then to hold them in to the wheel head. This Xiem BatMate saves my clean up time. AND it works; my bats don't jitter. ... show more

    • Works great but runs
It does a great job but the blue color leaches out and you can get blue dye in the water when you rinse it. I still recommend it but I think it would be more functional if they didn’t add coloring to it, as it runs. You’re supposed to store it damp and I made the mistake of wringing it out into my clay/slip water before using it again. You don’t want to do that. I don’t know what the ramifications would be if I’d used that slip, if any, so I tossed it. Too bad it doesn’t come in a natural un-dyed color. Small thing to know and it doesn’t come off on your work otherwise. But it’s something I hope may help someone else. ... show more

    • It works but it gets dirty and can’t get clean again
It’s very good and useful but the wholes got larger after just some uses and it’s impossible to get it as clean as it came.

    • Will never go without
I love this bat mate! It has held up nicely over the last several months and I use it under all my bats. It keeps them very secure. I am able to use this under a bat that doesn’t sit right over the bat pin holes and it keeps it in place. It’s easy to rinse off when I’m done and I store in a plastic bag while damp, as instructed. I was worried it could start to smell or mold, but it hasn’t at all, even sitting in the hot sun for days while damp. ... show more

    • One of my favorite tool EVER!!!
Oh my goodness. The thing I hate about throwing pottery is warping it when I take it off the wheel. So I tried throwing using bats and soon gave up on that - I use a shared studio and the bats get out of round or warped - BatMate fixed all my bat problems. Plus I use it for trimming - love love love. After I got mine, a few other potters got them and also experienced great joy of being able to have perfectly round pots ... show more

    • Excellent product. Highly recommend.
Definitely get this for throwing on bats. A couple of other uses: as a trimming "bat" - if you're trimming the foot of something that's not too tall, this will help the leather-hard piece stay in place while you trim it on the wheel, and secondarily as a base if you're manually wet-sanding at your wheel since it's so absorbent and makes the cleanup easy. Happy to have this in my tool kit! ... show more
