BTL Staff Review

The FT23 is similar to a 243, with a large barrel and end-loaded swing, but it has a thicker handle and more flare at the knob. We like it for middle-of-the-order hitters who prefer birch and want plenty of pop when they square the ball up.

Wood Bats
All wood bats we carry are -3 drop. Sizing follows the same principles as BBCOR. Wood punishes poor bat speed more than any other type — when in doubt, go shorter.

BTL TipIf you are playing travel or high school ball in Arizona, you are going to need a wood bat. Most summer tournaments around here are wood bat only. Wood is also the best training tool in the game — the sweet spot is smaller and mishits are unforgiving, which forces you to be more precise with the barrel and build better mechanics over time.

How does the FT23 swing?

It has an End-Loaded profile built around a long, large barrel.

Is the FT23 made from maple or birch?

B45 makes this Pro Select model from yellow birch.

What does the cupped end provide?

It removes some wood from the end of the barrel to help manage the bat’s overall weight distribution.
