Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026
Custom Cut PS23T is a Teen model with a long barrel at 2.33 in and a .91 in handle that the page calls slightly flared. The page says it is built for players aged 10 to 15 with lighter swing weights and is based on the Pro Model PSFT23.
| Model code | PS23T |
|---|---|
| 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 | long barrel; 2.33" 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 | .91" handle; slightly flared 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 PS23T is based of off our Pro Model PSFT23 - the Tatis Cut; It has a slightly longer barrel than the 17T in comparison |
| Lead time | Standard production: bat gets shipped estimate (not including delivery times); Rush production and ULTRA Rush production also listed; no durations shown |
| Availability | Made to order |
| Made in | Canada |
