MAPLE WOOD PROPERTIES: Incredibly Dense: Offers greater durability and pop than other types of wood Close Grain: Holds wood fibers more closely together upon impact, making it one of the hardest surfaces for wood bats Less Forgiving: Due to how stiff maple is, it tends to produce less forgiving contact off of mis-hits TURN MODEL FEATURES: Thinner barrel diameter with a thicker handle Helps increase swing speed through the zone Great for players transitioning from aluminum to wood bats NOTICE : Baseball/Softball Bats are only eligible for return if they have not been used.
