Facts as the maker states them, read 13 Oct 2026

Trinity Model T161 Custom has a large barrel, a large handle and a traditional knob with slight taper, described as balanced. The page gives an approximate 4-week turnaround for a custom crafted bat.

Model codeT161
BarrelLarge barrel
What this means

A big barrel (about 2.56 in and up) gives the most hitting surface. Its size does not decide the balance: some big-barrel bats are balanced.

HandleLarge handle
What this means

A handle near 1 in or more. It feels closer to a metal bat, takes sting out of mis-hits, and in wood it lasts longer. Makers recommend it for players moving from metal to wood.

Tip: If your player is switching from metal to wood, start here.

KnobTapered
What this means

A cone-shaped transition from handle to knob, somewhere between standard and flared.

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.

Ink dotYes
What this means

An ink dot on the handle shows the maker tested the grain slope. It is required for maple and birch bats used in pro ball and is a good sign of wood selection on any bat.

AvailabilityMade to order
The maker says
  • Designed for the hitter desiring superior balance and bat control.
  • The large sized barrel provides a great hitting surface.
  • The thick handle creates tremendous weight distribution.
  • Good for hitters accustomed to taping aluminum bats for a thicker handle feel.
  • Steel compressed for complete barrel hardness.
