Reply to "Wood Bats"

i made a deal with the son that if he hit a particular lifting goal (4 plate conventional deadlift), I'd take him to birdman to get a bat. coincidentally, the bat he was using all summer and fall broke (a game bat from a former MLB player that he was instructed to use, not keep) so, when he finally hit that lift, he had an idea of what specs he was looking for.

birdman's shop is down the street from my work and they're really great guys, so i called them up and they said to bring him down with the broken bat. Son felt all of their models and said that he liked the balance of one and the handle of another. long story short, they combined the two and gave it his "own" model number. Now, in wood, he swings an uncupped 33.5 AS405. also, they gave me the "local discount" so it was still pricy but not near what a "custom" model would be at their normal prices.
