Maple Baseball Bat – A History Of Great Design And Hitting Performance

You can be sure that the greatest hitters in the game, from Ty Cobb to Ted Williams and Pete Rose in the modern era, have grown into their game prowess by swinging high quality hardwood maple baseball bats. Like these baseball greats, you can get even more out of your hitting performance. Here's how.

Reliability Of Hardwood Maple. A carefully designed Rawlings maple baseball bat gives a hitter a combination of balance, bat speed and hardwood-tough surface to cause the ball to literally explode off your bat. Not given to flex nor softening, hardwood maple baseball bats give you 100% reliability, until such time as your hitting power and extended use result in the bat breaking. Yes, you'll be buying a new bat. However unlike aluminum bats which can ‘deaden' gradually over time, the ‘good news' is that your maple baseball bat typically breaks only when it loses the key inner structure and hardness. It breaks, and you move on with the certainty that you'll always be coming up to the plate with a near-to-perfect bat in your hands.

Superiority Of Maple Baseball Bats Over Alloys. As any ball player will attest, there's more to a maple baseball bat than what meets the eye. Aside from the fine grain and fire-treated look, your maple baseball bat carries nature's imprint, in the form of its structural make-up and native hardness that makes it the superior batting piece. Alloy bats cost sometime 4 to 5 times or more than a maple baseball bat, which means that unless you're rich, you're ‘stuck' with one bat size length and weight. At far lower cost, a great Sam Bat brand or Akadema maple baseball bat allow a hitter to own and experiment with different grip and barrel sizes, in the ongoing effort to improve and perfect his or her swing. Aluminum bats also slowly deaden with use and over time, leaving you with slower moving balls, reduced extra-bases hits, and undoubtedly a lower batting average.

Sizes, Lengths, Weights And Major Brands. Only the healthiest straightest hardwoods are cultivated for later production into hard rock maple baseball bats. Maple youth baseball bats start the category off, with specifications such as 27-inches and 17 ounces. As you move up to older more mature athletes, your maple bat selection expands to offer you bat lengths up to or over 34-inches, handle diameters from ¾-inch to over 1-inch, and weights from mid-20 ounces to over 36 ounces for the most powerful batsmen. Additionally, custom maple baseball bats can be ordered from sports equipment specialists, at a premium price.

Get A ‘Grip'. Perfecting your stance and perfecting your batting swing require that you maintain a sure ‘grip' throughout your stroke, no different to golf or any hitting sport. Some players prefer the turn-of-century pine tar or taping of their bat. However, new and proprietary compounds are now entering the field where a great quality hard rock maple baseball bat will be sold with a handle treatment or ‘grip' made from some lightly abrasive materials which can include sand and chips and other aggregate compounds applied to the outer surface of your bat. You get 100% sure-grip on every swing.
