The Wood Guide

Maple

Hardest · Densest · Most Pop

Hard maple has a tight, closed grain that produces a stiff, explosive feel on contact. Maximum energy transfer — every well-hit ball feels like a rocket.

  • Stiff, solid feel at impact
  • Dense grain = more pop
  • Closed grain resists flaking
  • Most durable of the three
  • Best for: power hitters

Birch

Flexible · Forgiving · All-Around

New England sourced birch sits between maple and ash. It flexes slightly on contact — forgiving on mishits — and hardens over time with use, so it actually gets better.

  • Slight flex, forgiving sweet spot
  • Hardens and improves with use
  • Great for transitioning from aluminum
  • Best for: all-around hitters

Ash

Lightest · Most Flex · Traditional

Northern white ash is the classic wood bat material. The most flexible of the three — a whippy, traditional feel that helps generate bat speed and keeps the barrel in the zone longer.

  • Lightest swing weight
  • Natural flex = whippy feel
  • Open grain, traditional look
  • Best for: contact & gap hitters

All three woods available in Standard and Pro Reserve grades.
