Prairie Sticks lists the PS217S with a .925 inch handle, a standard knob with no flare and a barrel that measures 2.461 inches, with a weight range not lighter than -3. The page says it is almost identical to the PS217 and gives no wood or length details.
| Model code | PS217S |
|---|---|
| Drop | not lighter than -3What this meansDrop 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. |
| Barrel | barrel that measures 2.461”What this meansThe 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. |
| Handle | .925” handle |
| Knob | StandardWhat this meansA traditional round knob. The simplest feel and what most beginners should start with. |
| Compared on the page | The PS217S is almost identical to the PS217; standard knob (no flare) providing a different feel to our most popular model; the PS217 |
