Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026

HOS35 is a Custom Made bat with a 2 15/32" barrel and a 15/16" handle per the spec line, and the spec says it virtually has no knob. The description calls it a balanced model cut from extremely dense wood.

Model codeHOS35
WoodBirch
What this means

Softer than maple and more forgiving of mis-hits; hardens with use. A good choice for a first wood bat and for younger players.

Barrel2 15/32" barrel
What this means

The 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.

Handle15/16" handle
What this means

About 0.93 to 0.96 in. The usual choice: enough whip, enough strength.

Tip: Most players never need to think about this one.

KnobNo knob
BalanceBalanced
What this means

Weight 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.
