How to Read a Wood Bat (Baseball)

<strong>How To Read A <a href=”http://www.phoenixbats.com”>Wood Baseball Bat</a></strong>

Baseball is America’s favorite pastime. It has endured in the national  consciousness for more than 150 years, and professionals have played the sport at the greastest level for more than a century. The game has permeated into every part of modern life. The game of baseball has created some of the most colorful and most widely used euphemisms that are to be found in the English language.

However, many folks still have a problem “reading” a <a href=”http://www.phoenixbats.com”>wood bat </a>and understanding what all of the markings and different sizes, weights and model types mean. Here is an easy reference guide to understanding the standard American wood baseball bat.

What Does That Random Number Mean?

That number is not random, and it means the weight of the wood bat versus the overall length of the bat. When you see a mathematical subtraction on the bat, such as 33-3, this is actually a basic formula for determining the length and weight of the bat. The bat in question is 33 inches in length, and it weighs 30 ounces – 3 subtracted from 33. As far as standard weights and lengths, adult wood baseball bats come in many different lengths and weights, anywhere from 29 ounces and 30 inches long to 34 ounces and 34 inches long. It all depends on the individual needs of the hitter

What Are The Bats Made Out Of?

Wood baseball bats are made primarily out of either maple or ash. Both woods have their own distinct positives and negatives, depending upon the level of baseball that is being played, and the types of hitters that will be using the bats. There are also <a href=”http://www.phoenixbats.com”>wood bats</a> made of other types of wood, such as bamboo, hickory, and many different combinations of composite wood. However, these types of wood bats tend to be less durable, and unable to handle the stress of a high level of play over the long haul.

Why Is The Label In A Different Location On Different Bats?

The label placed on wood baseball bats is put where it is for a reason. When each bat is inspected, the weakest spots are found and this is where the label is placed. This gives players a good visual cue to always keep the label of the bat facing either the sky or the ground, to ensure that the ball makes contact with the strongest area of the bat, every time. This not only ensures a good, clean hit, it helps protect the bat as well.
