Pottery instructor approved
I took this to my pottery class and had them show me how to use it. It worked great and the instructors felt it was a good buy as well for me. Clean up was definately easier that class.

Okay quality, but very overpriced
These are just 12" circles of PVA synthetic chamois. They work like any synthetic chamois for holding down bats, but you can get identical material for a quarter the price per square foot and cut your own circles out of it, so these are pretty pricey for what they are.

Very useful pottery wheel accessory
The specialty cloth is specifically designed for pottery wheels, and makes it really easy to work on an object and then not have to go through a major production to clean the wheel surface for the next project. You simply wash out the specialty cloth and air dry it for the next session. I really convenient item to have for pottery projects that does not take much investment but can save a lot of time

Good bat mate
The bat mate works well for me. I've become so accustomed to using it that I can't throw without it. It's very convenient for working with different sizes of bats. I wet it before placing it on the wheel, then place the bat on top. It is much better than using bat pins. The size fits my studio pottery wheel perfectly. I highly recommend it.

Worked Well!
I was skeptical but delightfully surprised it worked! I am a high school teacher and our wheels don't have bat pins. I didn't want my students to be the guinea pigs to have a project fling off so I put the throwing cloth through the paces. I loaded up the bat with at least a 5 pound ball of clay. It stayed stable even though I could barely cone that much clay. I throw 2 more times with out adjusting the cloth and it stayed put. One small note is to remember to center the bat on the cloth to prevent it from looking like it's off centered in the splash pan.

Thick material, good for many things
It is grippy and damp without feeling soppy wet. It feels like quality material. It is great for trimming small, low things like spoonrests where lumps of clay or a trimming tool would be in the way. It is also good for draping across a rim or smaller slab of clay that is drying too fast. You can also use it to create a mini damp box with a plastic bag, just be careful that it isn't too wet. This does not have bat pin holes, so if you want to use it to quiet a loose bat you will have to cut the holes yourself.

Works well. High quality cloth.
I'm pretty happy with this cloth. I don't use it to secure bats to my wheel but rather, I use it as a base to secure a grinding disc to the wheel. That allows me to grind any sharp bits or glaze drips off the bottom of my pots. I think it would work well for attaching bats to the wheel, though. It's got a sticky, semi-spongy texture when wet.
