Overview
Swinging a balanced one-piece alloy bat, a youth beginner gets USA Baseball certification, an Axe handle knob and grip tape in a riptide and orange finish.
The reason to look is a light, certified starter bat with a stated drop and barrel size. The limit is that the grip size reads in millimeters, which does not describe a grip diameter.
Who it's for
Young beginners in USA Baseball leagues, where a light alloy bat with balanced feel helps them learn the swing, are the audience. Players in leagues with other stamps, and hitters who have outgrown a short bat, should look at larger models.
Pros and cons
- USA Baseball certification listed
- One-piece alloy build
- Balanced swing weight
- Grip tape on the handle
- Grip size unit looks odd
- Only one approval stated
- Single length listed
Performance notes
A drop number compares length with weight, so a higher drop gives a lighter bat for its length. A balanced swing weight spreads mass between barrel and handle, which helps a beginner control the swing. The one-piece alloy has no joint, and barrel width sets the hitting area.
