Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026

Teenbat listed as the PS5T, described as based on the PS5AP, with a .91” handle and a 2.36” barrel. The page gives maple as the wood and a Drop 5 weight.

Model codePS5T
WoodMaple
What this means

Dense and hard, the most common pro wood. Hits hard and holds up when the player squares the ball up; breaks rather than flakes when mis-hit. Quality varies a lot by maker.

Tip: Maple from a good maker is the best wood bat money can buy; maple from a cheap one is the worst.

Drop5
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.

Barrelthe barrel is 2.36”
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.

HandleIt has a .91” handle
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.

Compared on the pageThe PS5T is based of off our popular PS5AP and is classified as a Teenbat.; It has a slightly longer barrel than the 17T, but is still offers a balanced feel.
