X BATS are made from the finest
hard maple available anywhere. More and more bat companies are advertising hard
maple bats but what they don’t tell you are the differences in hard maple as a wood.
Hard maple or sugar maple or black maple is terms used to describe the types of
maple wood frequently used to make wood baseball bats today. X BATS
has found the hardest of the hard maple to make our bats. The difficulty in working
with maple as a material to make baseball bats is the weight. While hard maple is
prized for its density and strength, with these benefits comes a big liability for
any bat maker- extra weight. Most bat makers can ill afford to throw out half of
their hard maple billets, those too heavy to make modern baseball bats. Instead
they use soft maple, red maple or lighter maple grown in warmer climates. These
yield more usable weight billets but do not deliver the performance of X BATS
hard maple bats. Hard maple logs are not all the same. Hard maple bats are made
from maple grown in Eastern Canada, New England, down through Pennsylvania and across
to Wisconsin. All hard maple is not created equal. Through the trials and tribulations
of making more maple bats than any other bat manufacturer, X BATS
has identified the right kind of maple to make the hardest, longest lasting hard
maple baseball bats. Using variables like soil mineral content, weather patterns
during peak growth periods, seasonal temperature differentials and selecting the
right time of year to harvest logs, X BATS hard maple bats have become
the choice of the top hitters in professional baseball as well as thousands of developing
players at every level of the game. If you want really hard maple, get yourself
an X
BAT. You’ll see why we are the player’s choice.
The X BATS
Pro Maple is the professional level maple wood baseball bat available in sizes from
28" to 35" with weight/length differentials to accommodate each player's requirements.
There are 13 different bat models available in 24 different colors.
X BATS can also be ordered unfinished or with just unfinished handles.
Any combination of barrel color and handle color and finish is available with your
choice of name imprinted on the bat. Every single X BAT is custom
made to each player's specifications.
Hard maple bats are desired for their strength, durability and performance. The
tradeoff is weight. X BATS can only be ordered in -3 or heavier in
bats 32 inches and longer. Weights lighter than -3 are reserved for youth bats shorter
than 32 inches only. Model XX, 16, 24 and 73 can only be made in -2 or heavier.
