Maple is the favored wood of most professional players due to its performance and durability. It is a harder and denser wood species than the traditional ash. It outperforms ash by 15-20% and outlasts it 3-1.
Birch is a compromise between the harder stiffer maple and the softer more flexible ash. Players who want more feel than they get with maple but want better performance than ash find birch a good choice.
X Bats offers 30 different adult baseball bat models for every players size and style. These are the finest wood baseball bats money can buy. While the majority of players like maple for it's performance and longevity, many pro players have recently been moving towards birch. We source our birch from the finest birch forests in Eastern Quebec. There are still a minority of players who like the flexibility of ash and are wiling to sacrifice performance and longevity for feel. We source our northern white ash from specific geographic locations in the northern latitudes so our quality is incomparable to the ash available on the market. With over 300+ Major League players swinging maple X Bats, we have grown a reputation over the last 16 years as having the hardest wood with the best performance. We are STILL the ONLY company that makes the same grade of wood for all of our customers that we make for our Major Leaguers.

Model 73
Price: $265.00Model 73 is the most popular new style in the Big Leagues and our best selling bat by 2-1 over any other Model. It has a tapered medium sized 15/16" handle flaring to a very large knob with a full power hitter's 2 5/8" barrel. The large knob serves as a counter weight making the bat feel very balanced and lighter than other bats with the same weight. The flared handle to the knob protects the sensitive hamate bone from bruising. The Model 73 is available with a weight range no lighter than -2. This is by far the best balanced wood bat on the market. This is a perfect shape for hitters switching from aluminum to wood as it is both well balanced and easy to control in the hands. Used by power hitters who like the comfort and gap hitters who like the balance and large hitting area.
