Description

If you've never heard of the patented Axe handle, you're missing out. The revolutionary design is exactly what you're imagining. The handle of an Axe bat is designed like the handle of an actual ax to provide optimal control and grip of the bat. This asymmetrical handle is biomechanically engineered for a flush fit and assists in keeping a hitter on the correct swing plane. As a result, players get better barrel accuracy and a decreased risk of injury and hand fatigue. Thanks to the Axe handle, the Hard Maple Composite Wood Bat has, without a doubt, an edge over other maple composite wood bats. And that's not the only advantage! To prevent breakage, Axe crafted the bat out of hard maple wood and made the handle out of a composite material. This ultimately provides players with total confidence and dominance at the plate! Speaking of confidence, Axe is so confident in the make-up of the Axe Hard Maple Composite Wood Bat they're offering a 120-day warranty. What do you have to lose? Axe: Unleash Your Swing! The Axe Hard Maple Composite Wood Bat is BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. Free Shipping!

About the Brand

Launched by Baden Sports in 2011, the Axe line of bats was hailed as a breakthrough in bat technology by players and coaches from youth leagues to the Pros. The makers of the Axe line of bats often pose the question, "What does your traditional knob do for you?" Most players don't have a good answer. Axe engineers have created a handle that is not only more comfortable and safer in terms of hand injuries, but also helps improve the hitter's swing by keeping them on an even plane. Although Axe is new to the market, they are backed by Baden Sports, Inc., an independent, family-owned company that has been making baseball products since 1979. Their passion to create a better game is unparalleled, making it no surprise that the Axe handle is set to be baseball's next big thing.
