Just starting to swing a full-sized wood bat? The BB71 is the lightest of the Phoenix wood bats with a length-to-weight difference of -3. The BB71 professional series wood baseball bat (known in other circles as the C271) is great for the singles and doubles hitter. It features a slightly flared handle transition in to the knob and a barrel that gives this wood bat nice pop to slap it in to the gaps. It’s a really good fit for the prototypical lead-off, second and ninth hitter in the line-up.
Typical user:
- Singles/doubles hitter; typically 1, 2, 9th batter in line-up
- Player taking the first step into a high school/adult bat after swinging a youth bat.
- Wants to insure keeps maximum bat speed while still putting on muscle
BB71 Wood Bat Stats:
Barrel: 2.49" slightly weighted, designed for fast swing
