REAL WOOD The PowerWoodtm is all wood, laminated and remains true to the Baseball Tradition. No plastic, fiberglass, foam or metal rods. The NCAA approved it as a "solid wood bat" and is BBCOR Certified. Patent 7972229. REAL TOUGH Testing at the Baseball Research Center showed the PowerWood bat to last about 10 times as long as a regular wood bat. This is achieved by a special laminating process, rock hard Hickory in the handle and Tanoak in the barrel for balance. It's so tough we back it with a One Year breakage warranty. It's the ONLY real wood bat with that! REAL PERFORMANCE Are you up for a performance advantage? The laminated hickory handle makes the PowerWood so stiff that it has a larger effective sweet spot. This means that when you miss the dead-on sweet spot, more collision energy goes into the ball instead of the bat and rattling your hands. Think, just 5 more balls that turn into hits out of 100 at-bats and you go from .275 to .325. Talk about SWEET. Read what other players are saying about the best wood bat on the market.
