LOUISVILLE SLUGGER Baseball Bat

A professional, adult wooden bat using the finest materials for a bat that lasts and holds it's shape no matter how many home runs you strike. The Louisville Wood is stamped with the signature of New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez.

The Louisville Wood is typical of the craftmanship embodied by the Louisville Slugger. Constructed from Northern white ash with a natural finish that's flame tempered, the Louisville Wood is an official bat of Major League Baseball. Ash is pound for pound the strongest timber available with an unrivalled flexibility. Ash typically flexes rather than breaking, giving you a larger, more forgiving sweet spot. The wood is also flame tempered and features classic black branding.

They might look similar but all wooden bats are different and the quality of wood varies from one company to another. The Louisville Slugger sets itself apart from the competition by offering the best quality wood on the market sourced with the help of 120 years of bat making experience.

The Louisville Slugger represents a bat that is steeped in history and renowned for quality. Back in the days of legends such as Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth, the most skilled craftsmen were sought who crafted each bat by hand to the most demanding specifications or the world's most demanding players. Today, the Louisville Slugger applies the latest aerospace technology to bat making, delivering bats that give new meaning to the word "performance."

Top training tip:

Make sure you hit with the label up or down to ensure you are using the strongest part of the bat. The infamous Louisville Slugger oval is placed on the flat of the grain, the weakest side of the wood. With the label up or down, you'll make contact with the ball on the strongest part for maximum power that won't break easily.
