We offer our bats in 3 different wood types
- Maple is the hardest, stiffest wood so it hits further and is most resistant to breakage but has very little flex
- Birch is a bit less dense than maple and has some flex, it’s performance is between maple and ash
- Ash is the least dense and most flexible- the grain on ash bats flakes after heavy use and it performs about 15-20% less than maple and is more prone to breakage. Players like ash because they grew up with it (prior to 1998, it was the only wood used to make bats after WWII)1
