FAQ
Wood bats are commonly made from maple, ash, birch and bamboo. Maple has a dense feel, ash offers a more flexible grain structure, birch blends characteristics of both, and bamboo bats are made from laminated strips.
A one-piece wood bat is carved from a single piece of timber, creating a traditional feel and consistent construction. A two-piece wood bat combines separate sections, which can create a different balance and feel during batting practice or play.
Keep a wood bat clean and dry, and store it in a cool, dry place away from extreme heat and moisture. Use a soft cloth to remove dirt, and avoid leaving the bat in a vehicle or exposed to harsh weather.
The grain direction shows how the wood fibers run through the bat. Many players prefer to make contact with the broad face of the grain, where the fibers run more directly along the length of the barrel.
Wood bats are available for both baseball and softball, but the appropriate bat depends on the sport, league regulations and the type of ball used. Always review the rules for your league before choosing a bat.
