5 Youth Axe Bats for a Shortened Season

5 Youth Axe Bats for a Shortened Season

The youth baseball season, like everything, has been a little different this year. Many leagues have cancelled. Others have delayed. Some are still deciding.

But, increasingly, plans are being made to return kids safely to the field.

As your child resumes or prepares to resume play, here are five Axe Bats worthy of consideration for helping him or her get the most from a shortened season. All are in-stock and available now on JustBats.com.

 

 

Why Axe Bat?

The first thing you notice when you pick up an Axe Bat is how it feels. The shape of the handle has been designed to fit your hand and to support the mechanics of your swing. Unlike the traditional round knob, which resists and hinders, the Axe Handle empowers – giving you a better grip that enables more barrel control, bat speed, and comfort.

In a recent study, players achieved higher exit velocities, more optimal launch angles, and harder hits, more often, when swinging the same bats with Axe Handles.

But it’s not just a youth phenomenon. More than 100 Big Leaguers have swung Axe Handle bats in games, including MVP Mookie Betts, who has used one exclusively since the 2016 season.

Like many have said, try it, it just feels right.

Now, on to the bats.
