Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026
The Hard 2 The Core™ Bat M^P-072 is described as a classic wood model with a very thin handle that tapers to a long, thin barrel and a traditional knob. The page says it has a small amount of end weight without being end-loaded, and it compares the bat to the LS model P-72.
| Model code | M^P-072 |
|---|---|
| Barrel | long, thin barrelWhat 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 | very thin handleWhat 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 |
| Barrel end | Customer choice |
| Compared on the page | Compares to the LS model P-72. |
