Hi everyone. I've been busy and haven't been around the forums in a while. It doesn't sound like most people have heard about the new youth league bat rule coming down the pike. Beginning Jan 1st, 2018, all youth bats will be under a rule that is the same as BBCOR. In other words, they will have to perform the same as wood bats. Because of a lot of demand (which surprised even me) we just came out with a youth model (2.25" barrel) On the page with the bat, in there copy there is a link to information about the new rule, for which USA Baseball is the lead agency. MacDougallBats/ K-3 Youth Model It is made the same as our adult models and carries a 1 year breakage warranty. When the new rule goes into effect, there won't really be any reason NOT to swing wood.
