Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026
Custom Cut PS17Y is a Youth bat with a .90 in handle and a 2.25 in barrel, based on the PS217. The page says it conforms to Little League regulations and describes it as well balanced.
| Model code | PS17Y |
|---|---|
| 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 | 2.25" 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 | .90" handle |
| Balance | BalancedWhat this meansWeight 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. |
| Compared on the page | The PS17Y is based of our our PS217 |
