Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026
Adult hybrid bat with a hickory core and bamboo shell, listed in 31 to 34 inch lengths as Model 271 and Model 243. The page states a flare knob, a cupped end, a -3 length to weight ratio and BBCOR approval.
| Model code | 271; 243 |
|---|---|
| Wood | Hickory or bamboo |
| Drop | −3What this meansDrop is length minus weight: a 30 in, 20 oz bat is a -10. A bigger drop number means a lighter bat for its length. Younger players use -10 to -13; USSSA 13U is usually capped at -5; high school and college are -3. Tip: Check the drop your league allows before you look at anything else. |
| Barrel | large barrel (Model 271); extra-large barrel (Model 243)What this meansA big barrel (about 2.56 in and up) gives the most hitting surface. Its size does not decide the balance: some big-barrel bats are balanced. |
| Handle | rubberized handle |
| Knob | FlaredWhat this meansThe handle widens into the knob like the bell of a trumpet. Players who choke up or want leverage like it; it also keeps the bottom hand from sliding off. Popular from high school up. |
| Balance | Balanced; End loaded |
| Lengths | 31, 32, 33, 34 in |
| Barrel end | Cupped |
| Custom options | Graphic Size: Large; Small |
| Certification | BBCOR approvedWhat this meansRequired for high school and college: drop -3, barrel up to 2-5/8 in. From the 2028 season high school will also allow USA -4, -5 and -6 bats; 2026 and 2027 stay BBCOR only. |
| Warranty | 1-year warranty |
