| Model code | BM318Y |
|---|---|
| Barrel | big barrelWhat 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 | medium handleWhat this meansAbout 0.93 to 0.96 in. The usual choice: enough whip, enough strength. Tip: Most players never need to think about this one. |
| Knob | StandardWhat this meansA traditional round knob. The simplest feel and what most beginners should start with. |
| Lengths | 28, 29, 30 in |
| Compared on the page | The BM318Y is modeled after it's big brother, the ever-popular BM318 |
