We often get asked the question --- What's better, a balanced bat or end loaded bat? The answer is 100% subjective and will vary from player to player and bat to bat.

Balanced baseball bats offer hitters excellent control through the swing. As a result, they tend to be the preferred option for contact hitters, but all types of players use them. Because of that, JustBats has ranked the best balanced bats based on customer feedback, reviews, and popularity.

Best Balanced Bats

Before we get started, what exactly is a balanced bat? If a bat is balanced, the weight is evenly distributed from the end of the barrel all the way to the tip of the handle, which helps create faster bat speeds, exceptional control, and ultimately more power through your entire swing plane. This allows batters to maximize performance without sacrificing control at the plate. With that being said, here are the best balanced bats in the game today.

After analyzing customer feedback and reviews, the Bat Experts at JustBats have compiled a list of the best balanced bats. Remember that every player has a personal preference, so what might be the best balanced baseball bat for others may differ for you. The balanced bats below are organized by most popular, but you can filter by latest, average rating, best savings, and more.
