Why we Sell Wood Bats...Because
the Rule Book says to!
That's how baseball's played!
|
Bat speed. we inserted an extra
lightweight wood in the core of our maple barrel, which reduces the
overall weight, and shifts the balance of the bat toward the hands
(yes, this is like a corked bat). We also inserted an extra-strong,
high-density wood in the core of our maple handle, which further shifts
balance toward the hands. The result: an engineered bat that will
provide more bat speed than a solid-wood bat having the same shape and
weight.
Bat shape. All of our RockBat models
that are available in solid-wood are now available in our all-wood
laminated composite design. If you feel that you can swing a big-barrel
bat with little drop in bat speed, then you can go for that "extra"
performance by trying our model RB 174C. This has the largest barrel
diameter, and if you are a strong player, and can swing this just as
fast... then you will get maximum performance out of this bat model.
NOTE: due to the thin-handle design, we only offer this bat model in
our laminated composite version - because it has HICKORY in the handle
of the bat.
Material properties. To a lesser extent
than bat speed, the material properties that you put into a bat are
important. If you make a bat with high-stiffness wood, you will achieve
better performance (i.e. faster ball speed) compared to the same bat
with "average" wood in the handle. Too much flex in the handle is lost
energy - energy that could have bee transferred to the ball.
NOTE: Our RockBats are manufactured
using ALL-WOOD components. RockBats does not use fiberglass wraps,
fiber-reinforced plastic handles, or internal metal rods.

RockBats is the most advanced maple
baseball bat company in the industry. Since 2005, we have advocated
face-grain contact for our maple bats, and trademarked this as FORCE
TechnologyTM in 2006. Face-grain contact is now an industry
standard in Professional Baseball - all manufacturers who supply
Profession Players are now required to orient their logo on maple bats
for face-grain contact.
Read below how we are one of the few bat
manufacturers who provide bats having wood-quality that meets and
exceeds the new 2009 Bat Regulations in Professional Baseball.
How can you tell if your bat is high
quality? - When you have the ink spot on the wood grain of the handle,
you can MEASURE if the wood quality is high. ALL manufacturers now need
to do this in 2009 for bats that they supply Professional players,
however, MOST manufacturers do NOT provide this quality to the general
public.
NOTE: that all of our Walker and Natural finish
SOLID-WOOD bats will have an ink spot on the handle to show the
straightness of grain. This is a
requirement in Professional Baseball, and we are one of the few
companies to offer this quality to the general public. Basically, if
the "slope-of-grain" is greater than 3-degrees, the bat is likely to
break into multiple-pieces; if the "slope-of-grain" is less than
3-degrees, the bat will likely stay in one piece if/when it breaks.
Bats with straight grain are much more durable than bats that have
severe grain slopes.

Due to
changes in 2009 Bat Regulations in Professional Baseball, our
primary finish for SOLID-WOOD BATS will be the Walker Finish (black
barrel, natural-finish handle),
We
target maintaining Walker-finish bats in our "ready inventory" so
that we may ship them out to you sooner.
If we
have Black or Natural finish available, you will see those options
appear in the shopping cart below.
Our
All-Wood Laminated Composite RockBats are primarily finished as
"Inverse Walker"
(Natural-finish barrel, black-finish handle)
