Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026

The K240 Youth Wood Bat is a birch youth bat offered in 25 to 32 inch lengths with a -7 drop. The maker describes a 2.25 inch thicker, balanced barrel and a .93 inch slightly tapered handle with a slow transition from barrel to handle.

Model codeK240
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.

Drop−7
What this means

Drop is length minus weight: a 30 in, 20 oz bat is a -10. A bigger drop number means a lighter bat for its length. Younger players use -10 to -13; USSSA 13U is usually capped at -5; high school and college are -3.

Tip: Check the drop your league allows before you look at anything else.

Barrel2.25" thicker balanced barrel
What this means

A 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.93" slightly tapered handle with small flare in to knob
What this means

A 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.

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.

The maker says
  • "The K240 is a well balanced, properly weighted, wood youth bat that is great for teaching a young player".
  • "Unlike the K455, the K240 features a slow transition from the barrel in to the handle.".
  • "This provides additional thickness for those younger players who tend to get jammed, taking the ball on the lower part of the barrel towards the decal.".
