A Guide, Not a RuleThese charts are a starting point, not a final answer. Two players the same height can swing different bats depending on strength, swing and what feels right in their hands. The best way to know is to swing a couple of lengths in our demo cage.

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.
