Drop me an email, TRhit@msn.com, and I will get you the info on the company we use--great maple bats and the price is right

Old Hickory bat company. 866-776-2287. They have a great selection of maple and ash bats. They also sell an X-out bat for around 25 bucks that is great to work with in the cage. My son got 4 with shipping for around 120.00 and has used them for quite some time.

JT;
my son Robert sold the SSK bats to Bonds last year and he has the Bonds model #.

What size and weight for your son?
You can send me an e-mail and I will forward to Robert.

Old Hickory is having a opening day specail on some of their bats. Looks like a great price.

Great bats!

Buy a few. Mine used the team-supplied bats, which were fine, but also a couple maple bats that we bought. Both were busted within a week. Tell your son NOT to let pitchers taking BP use his bats-they're guaranteed to break them. Some summer teams make the pitchers use composite bats made of wood and concrete (well, maybe not concrete...).

JT, just went through the bat bag he has at home.
Found two SSK's. I know he liked them.
Also, a couple of Wilson Sam Bats. Liked them too.
Finally, found a number of Marucci. Liked them also and they treated him pretty well.

Generally, you shouldn't let anyone use your wood bats for BP, pitchers or position players. I've seen too many bats broken by players who didn't own the bat to encourage anyone to allow their bats to be used by others.

SSK are excellent, also like Old Hickory. You might consider getting him a Brett Brothers bat for BP, I have a few of their composites for team bats, and they're very durable. The handle is fiberglass wrapped, so they don't break very easily.

Check out the X-Bats www.xbats.com a little pricey but you can make tons of specifications like the knob you mentioned also amazing pop

My son has used Old Hickory bats since the company started with great results. He feels that the Old Hickory maple bats last longer than the other competitors maple bats. Call Old Hickory and speak with Travis Copley and he will take care of your needs.
