Why birch?

Birch started as the answer to maple's reputation for breaking in two. It's still a different animal.

It wears in, not out
Birch tends to flake at the surface over time instead of snapping clean, so you usually see it coming.
Tougher than ash
A harder surface than ash with more give than maple. Birch tends to firm up as it's used.
Its own feel
A slightly softer, quieter contact than maple. Some hitters swear by it, and nobody else in the dugout will have one.

Straight answers

How long does it take?

2–3 weeks to build, or 5 business days with Rush (+$35). Shipping time is extra.

What if it breaks?

Wood bats break. Add Bat Insurance (+$14.95, or +$24.95 on ink dot) and if your bat breaks within 30 days of delivery, we build you a new one once and cover ground shipping. If we get your order wrong, we fix it.

What's the difference between standard and ink dot?

Both are sorted by hand. Ink dot bats are prime-grade birch that passed the slope-of-grain test, and you can choose your weight from -3 to 0.

Is birch legal in my league?

Birch is a solid one-piece wood bat. Check your league's wood-bat rule to be sure.
