The KRD4 uses the same barrel profile of our very K271 but has a different handle and knob. The handle and knob come from Team Phoenix's Pro Player advisory board member Ronnie Dawson of the Astros. This handle and knob has a medium flare to it and is designed to provide comfort in your bottom hand and take away some of the stress and compression that comes from swinging a baseball bat. The KRD4 youth bat is perfect for all youth hitters who are wanting a professional players bat model, but in something they can swing with confidence!

The Phoenix Bat DR271 wood baseball bat typical user: Big, muscular 12-13 yr power guy getting ready for high school ball Wants more hitting area and has size to handle barrel end weight Likes more cone shaped knob for more flare than traditional style Too big for youth bat but not ready for weight of full size bat STATS: 2-1/2" high school size barrel but at more manageable weight Longer hitting area makes for end-weighted power bat 15/16" flares out into just enough knob to catch hand -5 drop (length - 5 = weight)

The XR271 was designed off our pro model C271. This oval shaped barrel with a quicker taper makes this bat very swingable for all hitter types. It features a 2.45" barrel and a .91" handle and is based off of the most popular baseball bat turning model of all time. The added benefits of the ProXr knob keep the hitters hands and wrists safe due to the anatomically correct position that the player holds the bat in. All this, coupled with an increase in bat speed and exit velocity, will have any player feeling confident at the plate!

The DR series of wood baseball bats are perfect for the transition of a young player moving from a youth bat to a bat with a full-size barrel.Normally, at age 12-13, a hitter outgrows their K455, K240, or K271 wood youth bat. This is a result of physical size, league requirements and/or the speed of pitching now faced. Stick with a youth bat and the chance of breaking the wood bat increases greatly. Go to a high-school weight bat too soon and your young hitter starts picking up bad habits (like dropping the shoulder and dragging the bat through the strike zone).Enter the DRD4 to give the big 12-13 year old a power hitter's wood bat. The DRD4 transition bat is another great option for the youth player moving from a lighter weight bat and looking for something heavier before advancing to an adult bat. The DRD4 is similar to our DR271, but the difference is in the handle and knob. The flare on the DRD4 is classified as a medium flare and has a slight lip on the knob. Modeled after the RD4 for the Astros Ronnie Dawson.
