| Model code | TT2 |
|---|---|
| Wood | MapleWhat this meansDense 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. |
| Wood grade | professional grade hard rock maple |
| Barrel | Barrel Size 2.53"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 | Handle Size 15/16"What this meansAbout 0.93 to 0.96 in. The usual choice: enough whip, enough strength. Tip: Most players never need to think about this one. |
| Knob | FlaredWhat this meansThe handle widens into the knob like the bell of a trumpet. Players who choke up or want leverage like it; it also keeps the bottom hand from sliding off. Popular from high school up. |
| Lengths | 34 in |
| Compared on the page | Profile Crossover: i13; Similar To: TY's; The knob is a small tapered knob, similar to that of the KB1. |
| Finishes | All Merlot (Silver) |
| Availability | Out of stock |
