Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026
The CF243 is a custom-made 100% wood bat with a carbon fiber-reinforced handle, offered in lengths from 30 to 34 inches. The page lists a traditional knob, thick handle, medium barrel taper, medium barrel size, and a semi-balanced feel.
| Model code | CF243 |
|---|---|
| Barrel | Barrel Taper: Medium; Barrel Size: MediumWhat this meansThe middle of the range (about 2.45 to 2.55 in). Most pro turn models live here. Tip: A safe default when you are not sure. |
| Handle | ThickWhat this meansA handle near 1 in or more. It feels closer to a metal bat, takes sting out of mis-hits, and in wood it lasts longer. Makers recommend it for players moving from metal to wood. Tip: If your player is switching from metal to wood, start here. |
| Knob | StandardWhat this meansA traditional round knob. The simplest feel and what most beginners should start with. |
| Lengths | 30, 31, 32, 32.5, 33, 33.5, 34 in |
| Lead time | Approximately 3 weeks; expedited orders ship in 7-10 business days |
| Availability | Made to order |
| Maker SKU | 9716-9717 (30 inch variant only) |
