Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026
P72 Pro Grade (End-Loaded) is listed in sizes 31, 32, 33, 33.5 and 34 inches with a -3 drop, a 2 31/64 inch barrel and a 29/32 inch handle. The page states the bat is cupped and made in the USA.
| Model code | P72 |
|---|---|
| Wood grade | Pro Grade |
| Drop | −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 | medium 2 31/64" barrelWhat 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 | ultra-thin 29/32" handleWhat this meansA handle under about 0.93 in. It whips through the zone and feels fast, but it stings more on mis-hits and, in wood, breaks more easily. Common on pro models. Tip: Thin handles and young hands do not mix well in cold weather; expect sting. |
| Knob | StandardWhat this meansA traditional round knob. The simplest feel and what most beginners should start with. |
| Balance | End loadedWhat this meansExtra weight toward the end of the barrel, so the bat swings heavier than its number. For some players it gives a better feel for where the barrel is; whether it suits yours depends on how consistently they deliver the barrel. End load is not barrel size: some skinny-barrel bats are end-loaded. Tip: An end-loaded bat that feels heavy is the most common sizing mistake we see. |
| Lengths | 31, 32, 33, 33.5, 34 in |
