LOUISVILLE SLUGGER Hard Maple Wood Baseball Bat

For the pro athlete who hits hard, the Adult Maple Wood Baseball bat makes no compromises with super strong and ultra durable construction that'll take every shot out of the park.

Maple is a very dense, closed-grain timber that results in a greater surface hardness than ash with a structure similar to layers in a laminated product. Many players believe this hardness improves performance while also making the bat less prone to flake than an ash bat, allowing greater durability and longer lasting performance.

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.
