The Marucci Bat Company™ takes pride in turning top quality wooden baseball bats in the same tradition and precise technique of the earliest bat companies. Every Marucci Bat™ is cut, calibrated, balanced, buffed and lacquered by hand. The Marucci Bat Company™ uses top grade Maple billets cut from selected, naturally grown trees in Pennsylvania forests. This selection process insures the highest possible grade of wood for each bat. The Marucci Bat Company bats are 100 percent handmade or turned in small batches from an original design, then finished and detailed by hand. Each model is made to exacting specifications maximizing balance and ease of handling. The Marucci Bat Company uses an Ultra Penetrating Stain that provides the best possible finish for your next Marucci Bat. Most impressive is the Bone Rubbing technique that The Marucci Bat Company uses. ‘Boning’ bats began in the earliest days of baseball with players like Babe Ruth and Lou Gerig. These Hall-of-Famers would spend hours in their dugouts rubbing their bats with old cow femur bones. Bone Rubbing closes the wood’s pores, compressing it and making it harder. Marucci uses the same technique on their bats, rubbing before the finish is applied to seal and [...]

Easton Wood

admin — Sat, 07 May 2011 15:10:30 +0000

Easton wood bats are growing in popularity for one reason: professional grade quality. The new Stix PA271 is no exception to the rule. Made from Northern White Ash, this bat is solid and durable, looks great, and is an incredible value. This high quality professional pattern has a glossy black finish that makes it look every bit as great as it swings. A slightly flared knob and a long taper down the barrel gives this bat a great feel and huge hitting surface. With a balanced swing weight, the PA271 will give players ultimate control at the plate. 2012 Easton BP27 1-Handed Training Bat 27″ $44.99 Adirondack Pro Ring Youth League Greg Luzinski Model Wood Bat 28″ $19.99

Composite Wood Baseball Bats

admin — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 09:33:05 +0000

composite wood bats are bats that are often legal in wood bat leagues, or BESR certified leagues. These composite wooden bats are comprised of different wood blends and inner supports, not carved from a solid wood billet. This means that composite wood bats are more durable and last longer than traditional wood bats. But don’t let the pros be your only guide. There are only about 35 bat companies with bats approved and registered with Major League Baseball. Over 100 other companies make wood bats for amateur players. These companies tend to be small, primarily serving regional baseball communities. Companies like NYStix, Carolina Clubs, Bayou Bat Company, Hoosier Bats, and the Barnstable Bat Company serve independent league players, adult leagues, and local wood bat teams extensively. NYStix got a real boost last year making bats for New York City high school teams in their first year of play under the city’s new ban on non-wood bats. The company’s owner told me last winter that he was having a hard time keeping up with the demand. Amateur players also like Old Hickory (made out of maple!), D-bats, and M-Powered bats. In addition, the more standard stock that can be found with [...]

Louisville Slugger Wood Bats

admin — Tue, 22 Mar 2011 15:50:08 +0000

Although the debate about banning metal baseball bats in youth baseball is not settled, high school and college players find themselves playing in wood bat summer leagues more and more these days. “It’s clearly a trend,” a coach told me last summer on opening day of the John Marzano Wood Bat Scout League in Philadelphia. “Kids know they need to do this, their coaches do too, and the scouts love it. Hitting with wood is a lot less forgiving than metal.” All of this makes for a more diverse baseball bat collection in summer dugouts — from Cape Cod to Surprise, Arizona. And as the wood bat trend spreads to younger players, parents and coaches may want to know what the elite amateur players are using in tournaments like the World Wood Bat Championships held in Marietta, Georgia at the East Cobb Baseball complex. In some ways you just have to look at the bats the pros are swinging. The two classics offered by Louisville Slugger, Derek Jeter’s C71 and Alex Rodriguez’s P273 are both guaranteed by the world’s top bat company to be made of pro-stock wood. But if you watch Ryan Howard or Albert Pujols, they may be [...]
