Maple & Birch Models will be ink tested ?

MAPLE & BIRCH MODELS WILL BE INK TESTED

Ink Test Illustration In 2009, MLB mandated that all Maple and Birch bats, destined for a pro player, needed to pass an ink-spot test. When the ink is placed on the bat handle 12"-14" from the knob, it bleeds into the non-visible tangential grains. The straighter the grain, the stronger the wood. The Major League acceptable "grain slope" is 3 degrees or less. All MaxBat Maple and Birch Pro Series bats pass this test, and our acceptable grain slope is no more than 2 degrees.

X Knob +$10.00


The flared design of the X-Knob helps protect the hamate bone from bruising, and greatly increases the bat's balance. Because of the shape, and where it comes in contact with your lower hand, the X-Knob can ultimately increase overall bat speed too.
