X BATS - The Players Choice in Baseball Bats - Testimonials

See what our satisfied customers wrote about their X BATS!

Bats arrived last week

So far in 2 HS games using the model 73, my son is 5-6 all bullets (2 doubles) line drives in the gaps. He never hit balls that hard before, he says the bat feel absolutely perfect in his hands he never felt so comfortable at the plate before

You have quite an outstanding product on your hands ( I bet you know that already though)

Thank You again for your recommendation

Got my new bat today and I must say it is a real work of art! Almost too pretty to use. Thank you

Jay Bengert

I wanted to thank you guys for saving my season!  I had been struggling all season at the plate, that is, until I started using my X-BAT Model 73.  I can't believe the feel and balance of this bat!  I play in an aluminum bat league, the New Mexico affiliate of the MSBL/MABL.  My teammates really questioned my decision to go wood.  But they don't anymore. 

This bat is truly the best / nicest bat I have every used. Last season I bought the new Easton Stealth Composite bat to take to Phoenix for the World Series, at $400 bucks, I was totally disappointed.  I am hitting the ball harder and farther with the X-BAT than with the Easton Comp.  I also have better bat control.  Hell last Sunday I hit a fastball 400' to straight away center.  Didn't do that with the Easton!

The bat is also very durable, living in the desert of New Mexico, the lack of humidity is a killer of wood bats.  In fact I broke two BWP maple bats on the first & second swing. I'm still using my first X-BAT and thats with one hit off of the label and one near the handle.  

Keep making great bats, I plan on ordering 2 more before heading to Phoenix for the MSBL World Series in October.

Thanks again,
Tom

XBATS, Just wanted to let you guys know that I received my XBAT today at 5pmET and was taking batting practice with it at 7pm. I want you to know that I love my Louisville Slugger and my Carolina Club alot, but can honestly say that after using the XBAT today it will be the bat of choice for my game on Sunday. Nice lumber!
Thanks from a very satisfied customer.

Dear Sirs,

It’s always scary to do business with a company you know nothing about, just found during a search on the internet, but I received my bat in a very timely manner and it is perfect. I want to congratulate your company for the quality of your product. The engraving is excellent and our team colors were just as I had visualized when I picked them online. This bat is being given to commemorate the last season of our competitive baseball team, as all the boys will be moving to different schools next year to play high school ball. I wanted to do something special for the coach as he has coached this team for several years and invested a tremendous amount of time and energy doing it. After receiving my order, I know I made the right choice. I couldn’t be happier with the results and I know our coach will love and cherish the memories he’ll have every time he looks at it. I will pass this web site around to the other teams in the area.

Thanks for a job well done,

Am I supposed to hit with this bat????

HOLY SCHNIKIES, this bat is a work of art and I am almost reluctant to hit with it......Not only is it beautiful, but the balance and feel is unbelievable in my hands. It is perfect. I can't wait to go hit.

If you can't tell already~l I am pumed on it!

Thank you, your X-Bat is pure quality.

Chris Vanaman

Hello! just received bat from X-bat!! it was very fast shipping, and weight and balance are the best I have ever seen! I reallly thank you that you guys read my comment and made it 30.5oz for model 24..I never seen beautiful custom bat like this before. I will order exact same 2 more bats in next 2 weeks. I really thank you again for fast shipping and great customize!

From Shinya Asano

I just received my latest order of bats and, as always, I'm more than satisfied with your work. This is the third year that I've ordered and used the X-Bats and I've never swung a more comfortable (or productive) bat. I turn 59 on New Years Eve and with any luck, I'll play around 110-120 games this coming year. I just got back to playing baseball 2 years ago after about a 40 year lay-off. I now play in two leagues, play pick-up games once a week from April to October, and move indoors to play in a dome during the snowy Massachusetts winter. With any luck, I hope to be playing competitively for another 10 years - at least. I grew up playing with wood and I was never comfortable with a metal bat. When I started back playing, someone told me about your website. I ordered a couple of bats before the first season and have never regretted the choice. I'll be using the new bats in January when we head to Sarasota for a tournament. Thanks again for a great product! Although I no longer swing hard enough to break many bats, and your bats will probably last longer than my body, I like to start each season with new equipment - so I'll be back!

Tom Hamre

To everyone at XBats,

I thank you for making my sons 7 birthday at big hit (No Pun!). His birthday is this Saturday, but when UPS showed up today, we had to open the box. He thinks he's ready for MLB.

Thanks Bill Saunders
 

Got the bat today and am very impressed. You make the best bats in the world. Keep up the great work! My last one lasted 120 at bats and only broke when I hit one off the end. The bat endured at least 15-20 handle shots that likely would have broken any other bat. This was also the fastest I ever got one.

Just wanted to let you know how pleased we are with the bats (my little boy is 6). We had decent weather yesterday and hit for two hours. You have a repeat customer in us.

Thanks again, David.

Jack,

You make the best bats on the planet. I'm on the South East Texas Sun Devils, and we use nothing but X-BATS. We have used other wood bats before, but nothing is like an X-BAT. Keep up the good job.

Thanks from the South East Texas Sun Devils.

So I got my model 73 last Thursday, which also happens to be the night I hit my first home run with a wood bat. After 3 at bats I felt comfortable and full of confidence swinging your bat. The sound of the ball hitting the bat is amazing. My teammates all checked out my new bat and asking where I got it from. I will be ordering more in the future.

Hi Jack,

The bat just got here – looks great! Thank you again for your help in getting it here in time! I hope it yields some additional orders for you, at least for next year’s tournament. It’s too bad the kids don’t play with wood bats any other time than this.

If I’d known how light it feels with the knob as counter weight, I might have gone a shade heavier. Live and learn – I’ll know better for the next time, as he gets bigger.

Thanks again, you’ve got another satisfied customer.

Regards,
Bill S.

We got the bat and he almost cried when we gave it to him today at the picnic. Thank You for your special treatment, you gave us on the fungo back for our coach...X BATS is an extremely good organization and I will definitely be back...Thank You

Scott S.

Jack,

Today, we received our bat. My son beamed when he saw that his name was custom engraved on the barrel.
As an executive of a growing company, you did not need to respond to my requests, but you did. Your craftsmen didn't need to put the special care into his bat, but they did.

I work in marketing and sales and I know that great brands are built well beyond the physical attributes of the product a company produces. Great brands are surrounded by responsive people who are proud of what they do and show keen interest in satisfying customer needs. The X BAT is a great brand and we are now loyal customers.

All the best

Jack,

Received our order and in perfect condition. Very pleased with the bats, (not sure if pleased would be the proper word ) I have bought many bats through the years, never any on the same level as yours. The craftsmanship and attention to detail surpasses all to date. Thank you!

Chad

Just wanted to thank you for doing such a great job on the bat. Got my Model 27 in the mail a couple of weeks ago, and I've used it once, and now I'm saving it for the season. It is fantastic, the best of the wood bats that I have used.
Thanks again,
Dan L.

Hi
Thanks for grouping our order it worked out well, got them all just before a road trip. We are very impressed with X BAT, Those who are still swinging something else are converting quickly. I have broken a few but it was my own fault. Balls I crush out over the plate would break some other "Pro Stock" sticks. I would break about one a week on solid strokes. With these we have slowed the turn around process. I have never beaten a bat so badly before it finally gave up the ghost! I'm ordering another half dozen and the rest of the guys will follow shortly. Thanks for making a great product, and please know that we are proud to swing X BAT and let people know about it. Your more than welcome to post an add or link on our website. By the way, I saw that shot Manny hit at Yankee Stadium with an X BAT. That's a solid example of "Good Wood".

Jack,
Good Afternoon. I received my X BAT! I am very impressed. You by far have the best craftsmanship hands down. The finish is unbelievable! When I received the box I anticipated opening it up and having another bat in plastic with tape on the end. Boy, was I wrong! Jack the complete presentation was everything you said it would be and more. A friend of mine is the Mid-West sales rep for Sam Adams Beer and is having a promo next week at one of the local "watering holes", and Doug Mientkiewicz is signing for a couple of hours. I would like to get my model 73 signed by him, that is if it is okay with you? Jack, Thanks again for the opportunity to represent the Mercedes-Benz of the Pro Bat business!


Sincerely,

Mike B. (Converting Chevy Dealer)

We would be ordering a lot more X BATS, but your bats are not breaking, you make them too good. Thanks Jack.
Major League Baseball Team Equipment Manager

Just wanted to say thank you for getting my son's bat here so fast after I had written. His birthday was Monday and I received the bat yesterday. Close enough.

I have to tell you he was pretty excited when I laid it in his hands this morning. He thought it was too nice to use in a game and said he would use for batting practice at tonight's game. Well, long story short...he has been using another guys bat to hit with cause he liked the feel of it. Well, that kid broke the bat they were both using, so Kyle was forced into using his X-Bat tonight. He flied out to deep center a couple of times, then he smacked one clean out of the park! You should have seen the smile on his face as he crossed home plate. He looked right at me and I said, "It's the bat!". He smiled, winked and nodded in agreement.

Well, needless to say he is very happy with the bat. And, I might add, that at least two other guys on his team want the same bat. I told them about the website and think you'll be selling a couple more in the next few days. Your bats sell themselves! If you ever want to open a store here, I'd be glad to help you run it and take orders for you!

Thanks again.

Sincerely,
Mark R.

To whom it may concern,

I have not actually purchased a bat from your company but have been using your bat for this entire season. I currently play in an Amateur Baseball league outside the Baltimore, MD area. I received an X BAT form a fellow teammate to try and loved it. I have been using the same bat for the
entire season and am greatly satisfied with your product. I wanted to say thanks and I am fixing to purchase 2 more bats from you within the next week. The bats are excellent. Looking forward to working with you for quite a few years to come. I am being looked at by the Frederick Keys organization and would love the opportunity to continue to use your bats at the professional level. I will be in touch to let you know how things turn out. Thanks for the great product and look forward to hearing from me within a few days to make a purchase of the Model 24 bat.

Hi,
I own an X-bat and it seems indestructible. I will be ordering more! Today's photo gallery in MLB.com has a picture of Sammy Sosa hitting a home run with... an X BAT. I attached the picture. Does this qualify me for a discount!?

Chris B.

Used the bats yesterday, AWESOME!! Great look and construction. Our men's baseball league had us switch to wood this season and hardly noticed a difference in the performance between your bats and the aluminum we used to use.

Thanks!
Craig O.

I received the bats a while ago, but I haven't had time to notify you. The bats are great and are just as I ordered. Thanks for the awesome bats.

Sean

I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how extremely pleased I was with the bat I purchased from X BATS. I received it today and I don't think I have ever had a bat feel so good in my hands. I know that a lot of work went into the making of my bat because it shows in the quality. My plan was to purchase a few to start the season if I liked the way the initial bat performed. I can safely say that I don't foresee me using any other type bat during the entire season.
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know how pleased I am with my purchase and the quality of your work. I know I can find bats out there for much less, but I also know I get what I pay for.

Thank you,
Chris S.

Jack,

I am almost positive you won't remember me, but I wrote you a little over a week ago telling you how much I love the way my bat felt. Well I have had a chance to use it and it is easily the best bat I have ever used. I love the feel of it in my hands and I really can't believe how
well it has performed. I wanted to know what bat you would recommend for someone that is more of a power hitter than a contact hitter. Thank you very much,

Chris S.

Jack,

I received the bats last evening and I must say that they are beautiful. It is a shame that I have to deface them by hitting baseballs. The quality and workmanship in the bats are amazing. I feel as if I am holding a Stradivarius.

I am looking forward to using them this weekend during our indoor practice session on Sunday. And, God willing, the snow will melt here in Maryland before July and I can start showing off these bats to the other teams in the League.

Thanks again for making such a superior product.

Sincerely,
Nik M.

Hi Jack, received my son's bat yesterday, looks great, he loves it! Nice to see you have "tweaked" the look by engraving model# and name. Very nice!! Keep up the great work and service. My son's only wood bat will be an X-BAT. Thanks again.

I was working out with your bats today. I have been on the shelf for a while because I have had a sprained ankle and some lower back pain so this week was this first week I have taken full BP. After using your bat today I know that there is no other bat for me. I have completely gotten rid of all the other bats I had in the past, and I plan on filling my bag and my locker with X-Bats. Some of the guys on my team have took a couple of swings with it, and they all loved it. I can't promise that they will change their minds, but I can with without hesitation that I don't plan on buying from another bat company for as long as I play the game.
Thank you for making a great product.

BE BLESSED
BE SAFE

Chris S.

Thanks! Got the bats. They are great, in looks, feel, performance.

Tom F.

Oh, baby! I just received my bat and it was worth the wait! The colors (blue handle and green barrel) match our uniform colors perfectly. I really like the smoothness of the wood and the overall finish of the.....finish....! Now the only question I have is, Do you really expect me to play with such a beautiful bat? I think this one will be for display and I will order another one for actual play.

Thanks,
Bob E.

I just received my shipments of bats and am very excited. I just wanted to thank you for the great craftsmanship put into them and tell you I am very excited to use the new bats.

Thanks a lot,
CJ H.

I am very impressed with your wood bats. I have been playing baseball with wood bats for a few years now. I have used many different bats, from ash to maple, from many different companies such as Louisville, Easton, Sam Bats, Zinger, Barnstable, Tom Cat, Carolina Clubs, etc. Your bats surpass all of the others in every possible category. The wood you use is very dense however it still has a great pop. I will do my best to recommend you to my teammates, coaches and friends through my future baseball career. Keep up the great work.

Your new client,
Tom H.

Thank you.............. You guys rock and from the for what it's worth column, I am a 37 year old guy that returns to "wood bat'" baseball after years of High-tech aluminum bat ball. First there is no comparison, real baseball should be played with wood, a much better game. All baseball after the age of 12 should be wood. My team opened league play with a double-header sweep. We had 25 base hits in the two games, And 20 of them were by individuals swinging "X" bats including my five. Your bats and customer service are second to none.

Tom M.

I received my model 73 today. Wow! The engraving on the natural finish is beautiful, the cherry handle is perfect and the knob on this model is a great idea. Thank you for some outstanding work.

Mike

I used both bats that I had bought from you last Tuesday and loved them. Much better pop than the bats I used to use. I will be ordering more bats from you very soon and my friends as well. Thank you

Dale

Jack,
I got my bat and it looks and feels great. I love the balance and barrel size. I'll be swinging it tonight at practice...can't wait. Thanks again

Mike

Thanks a lot for the bats. I hit with them last night and absolutely loved them. I will definitely keep buying X-bats off of your website. You will probably have some future business from some of my team mates as well.
Thanks again!

Shawn L.

Thank you so much for getting my bat to me on such a short notice. I appreciate the fact that you completed the production of my bat on a simple request. I love my bat, as it is produced perfectly. I will recommend your company to everyone of my teammates. Again, thank you so much for you kindness and generosity. It is much appreciated. Yours truly,

Hello again, I just wanted to say thanks for everything and it is all greatly appreciated. If you are this nice to everyone it is no wonder why you are running such a great business. Oh yeah, your bats speak for themselves too.
Thanks again
-Evan S.

Thank you for your quick response on the X-bat. It is all I had hoped for and more. I will be ordering more soon.
Thanks again.

Dear Friends at X Bats:
I received earlier this afternoon my new bat. It is a work of art! I will be taking it up for a doubleheader on Sunday. I will let you know later on how my batting has improved. Thanks,

Edgar H. S.

Jack,
Thanks for putting up with all my questions. I'm just trying to find a bat that I'll feel very comfortable with. I've used many different types of bats over the years and actually swore by SAM BATS until I tried your X-BATS. Now I have a few SAM BATS I'm trying to get rid of because I know I won't use them ever again. The quality of your bats is top of the line. And thank you for being so quick to return phone calls and emails, I know how busy you must be.

John F.

I know you get this a lot but your bats are awesome, I am 5 for 10 with my new X BAT and I am showing a lot more juice in BP than I was when I was using the Louisville's that the team gave me. Thanks.
Gordon C.

Dear X BATS,
Thanks for getting my bats to me so quickly, they are beautiful and tuff! I
hit my first 4 balls near the brand and it didn't break!

Pat S.

Hi there,
I started using X BAT Model XX this season. I have gone through 36 games with the playoffs coming up with 1 X BAT. Last year I used 7 Zingers during the regular season and switched to a Louisville Slugger C 243 for the playoffs. Out of the bats I have used in the past years either purchasing or using another teammates bats. Carolina Club, Zinger, Louisville Slugger, Brett Bat, Superior, Split Rock. The X BAT is by far the most sturdy and strongest bat I have used. It also shows how much the pros have faith in your bat with Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz using them with the Red Sox.

Hey! Well, first I want to tell you how much I love your bats! They are simply amazing... It's scary how the ball jumps off the bat, it's almost like aluminum. I have never seen a ball jump off a wooden bat like this...Not even the Old Hickory that I used to swear by!

Jack,
Just a quick note: I have hit several hundred pitches from machines (70 mph +) and friends since purchasing the Model 11. It is definitely my bat of choice so far. I am looking forward to the arrival of the bat based on the S318.Your batting gloves are terrific. They are far nicer than the Wilson gloves I have. More comfortable and much better grip. Thanks,

Steve

Jack,
We just had our recent taping of sports rap and I am going to send a copy out to you early next week. It airs Friday at 5:30 EST on Fox Sports Florida. Your bats are the ONLY ones on Sports Rap now and the ONLY ones that will be. Our hosts were going crazy for them, we had 1st round pick Dwayne Wade from the Miami Heat on the show and he wanted to take the Sammy Sosa home. I had to fight off my editor for the R. Palmeiro ! You have a great product ! I think you are going to really enjoy how I used them and will be pleasantly surprised. Please let me know when you receive the tape probably mid-week next week. I'll probably give you a call......Thanks again,

To whom it may concern,

I would just like to express to X BATS how pleased I am with my X BATS. Not only do they look wonderful, but they don't break! I went to 3 camps throughout the summer at select colleges. During wood bat drills I gained so much confidence using an X BAT. Not only that, but I used the same one all summer, it still hasn't broken! I packed 4 X BATS all the way from Los Angeles to The University of Kansas and only ended up using one! I also get excited when I see Major Leaguers such as Sammy Sosa, Manny Ramirez, Miguel Tejada, and Vladimir Guerrero using X BATS! Thank you for making such a great product and being so great in terms of customer service. Keep up the good work!

JJ Corsini

Hi
Just wanted you to know that I received my 32" Model 73 maple baseball bat today! I am very pleased with how balanced and light this bat feels and can't wait to use it in my game this weekend. I am also enjoying the colors I chose and the workmanship is unbelievable. Also unbelievable is that it got to my door in less than two weeks! Thank you so much for the awesome customer service that is hard to find these days!

Sincerely,
Roy V.

Hello,
I recently ordered a model 73 X-Bat for my son to use in batting practice. I have purchased a variety of custom maple bats, from various manufacturers, over the last several years and must applaud you on the product you produce! Not only is the bat superior in every way to the six Sam Bats my son owns, the finish and presentation of the bat are exemplary. The bat looked so nice he didn't want to use it. The weight & balance of the bat is superb, as is the overall craftsmanship.
The bat has plenty of use on it now, as it's the only bat he wants to use during BP----and has used it several times during games. Again, I could not possibly be more pleased with my purchase, and I'm sure I will place additional bat orders from Tuff Bat in the near future. Thank you for a superior product and superior service! My warmest regards,
Chris W.

Jack,

Got the bat late last week and man was it worth the wait. My son really likes it and has already been to the batting cage with excellent results. A fine piece of work – sharp to look at and well made. Many thanks for the product and the service.

Regards
Robert W. P.

Jack-
Thank you for your prompt attention to my order of Manny Ramirez bats. After collecting bats for 15 years and having over 600 in my collection I have to say that you have one of the nicest bats that I have added to my collection. Your means of packaging even amazed me-most people will just stick them in a box and sometimes if you're lucky, put a few newspapers in with the bats.
Thanks,

John B.

I wanted to let you know that the bat I ordered for my son turned out better than I could have expected. Thanks for your attention to detail and quality workmanship.

Jeff H.

I just wanted to let you know that my 9 year old son loves his bat so much he has been sleeping with it since he received for his birthday on Sat. It turned out so beautiful that at first he thought it was only decorative.
Thanks for your great workmanship.

Rob A.

Jack,
Great story to tell you. My best friend broke 70 bats in long season A in 2002. My agent ordered me a dozen of your bats after I got drafted this year. I sent one of them to my friend who was in the Cal League and he ended up using it, loving it, and started ordering his own. I think he was sold after he hit 10 HR's in 15 games with the one X BAT I sent him. Needless to say, we will be using your bats throughout our professional careers. Thought you might like to hear from me what you already know, your bats are definitely the highest quality bats available. Keep up the good work
