Popular Lengths by Age
Bat Length
A bat's length is measured from the knob to the barrel end. While a longer bat extends your reach, as the length increases so does the weight — which can slow your swing and affect timing on away pitches.
We recommend swinging a few different sizes to find the length and weight that feels best for you.
Bat Weight & Drop
Bat weight is measured in ounces, but most players talk about a bat's drop weight — the bat's length minus its ounce weight.
Consider going a half-inch shorter when stepping up in drop weight — it makes the heavier bat more manageable while you build strength.
Bat Swing Weight — "Feel"
How a bat's weight is distributed defines how it feels. Every bat falls into one of three categories.
Knob Types
Traditional, Flared, No Knob, Bell, and Axe — each offers a different feel and level of handle control.
Traditional knobs range from straight to significantly flared.
No Knob, Bell Knob, and the Axe Handle — modern innovations.
TWBF Bat Classifications
Every bat is classified by knob type, handle thickness, transition, and barrel size — so you always know exactly what you're buying.
