Rawlings | ADIRONDACK Wood Bat | Ash | 31" | Natural

We needed a 31" heavy-ish wood bat, drop -2 or -3, for 13U BP reps for a certain hitting program where we alternate heavy-normal-light batting weight in 2:1 ratio. Our previous wood bat broke and we went shopping for a replacement at our local Dicks Sporting Goods. The shopping experience was a huge disappointment, because they mostly stock Marucci models most of which do not indicate the bat weight and on further research a lot of these turn out to be -5 or -6. Or if we would find a proper size/weight bat, it would be a $190 Victus model, or we would find size but not weight. It was a bad experience, and most of the branded bats at the store cost upward of $110 plus tax. A lot of the models have these slender thin handles which will shatter in less than 500 hitting reps. So long story short, this model Rawlings is perfect for our purpose, because: 1. The shape of the handle - it tapers gradually and is not too thin coming from the barrel to the knob. 2. It is cheap and we can put a lot of hitting into it without worrying about breaking a 200 dollar item. 3. It is properly sized and weighted at -3 unlike most Marucci wood models where the weight varies by -1 or more. 4. It seems well made with ample coating on top of the wood and the wood seems to be at pro-level quality based on my visual inspection. Very happy with this purchase. We will put at least 2000 reps through this thing before it shatters.

Good quality but the top is not rounded and no circle around the r and its entirely varnished

Le son du bâton au contact avec la balle est vraiment satisfaisant pour des amateurs du baseball comme moi

The quality is great, the look is awesome.

Really nice bat
