| Model code | CU26 |
|---|---|
| Wood | BirchWhat this meansSofter than maple and more forgiving of mis-hits; hardens with use. A good choice for a first wood bat and for younger players. |
| Barrel | Barrel Size: Large; Barrel Taper: MediumWhat 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 | 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 | StandardWhat this meansA traditional round knob. The simplest feel and what most beginners should start with. |
| Balance | Slight end load |
| Custom options | Expedite: Standard, Rush |
| Lead time | Approximately 3 weeks; Estimated 2–3 Week Turnaround; expedited orders ship in 7-10 business days |
| Availability | Made to order |
| Maker SKU | 1305-1310; 1305-1307 |
