Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026
The FM710 is listed with a Flared knob taper, thin handle thickness, long barrel taper, small barrel size and balanced feel. The page describes it as its newest balanced model, with a high-density barrel and a thinner handle with a medium flare.
| Model code | FM710 |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Barrel Taper: Long; Barrel Size: SmallWhat this meansA thinner barrel (under about 2.45 in on a wood bat), with less wood to hit with. Its size does not decide the balance: some skinny-barrel bats are end-loaded. |
| Handle | Handle Thickness: ThinWhat this meansA handle under about 0.93 in. It whips through the zone and feels fast, but it stings more on mis-hits and, in wood, breaks more easily. Common on pro models. Tip: Thin handles and young hands do not mix well in cold weather; expect sting. |
| 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 | BalancedWhat this meansWeight is spread evenly, so the bat feels lighter than its number. A player who uses the knob or handle to deliver the barrel often needs the weight balanced or down toward the hands. Balance is not barrel size: some big-barrel bats are balanced. Tip: Which one is right depends on your player and how consistently they deliver the barrel. |
