BTL Staff Review

The TPD1 is closest to an I13 in terms of barrel presence, but its torpedo shape moves more of the wood away from the end and toward the main hitting area. It has a mid-loaded swing that works well for hitters who want to feel the barrel without having all the weight at the end.

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 is the TPD1 different from a traditional barrel?

Its barrel narrows before the end, concentrating more mass around the primary hitting area.

Is the TPD1 made from maple?

Yes. This Pro Prime model uses pro-grade maple.

Does Louisville Slugger include a warranty?

Yes. New Pro Prime bats carry a 75-day limited manufacturer warranty, subject to Louisville Slugger’s terms.
