Description

Axe baseball bats always provide the right amount of ingredients that allow players the opportunity to become more successful. The Element series introduces tomorrow's technology for today's player. There is no model on the market that offers a stiffer, truer feel than the Element baseball bats. With a one-piece, Mantic alloy construction, you're guaranteed a military grade formula that delivers powerful performance with season after season durability. While it does feature an end loaded swing weight for more mass behind your swing, the HyperWhip composite end cap helps reduce unnecessary weight towards the end of the barrel for improved swing speeds and control through the zone. Axe has also engineered a hitting zone that extends the barrel length and strength to a 270-degree contact area, so you'll never need to worry about rotating your barrel for durability ever again. On the other end of these bats, the shock-absorbing Endogrid technology is built into the handle to help eliminate negative feedback to the bottom hand and stop the stings commonly felt when swinging a one-piece bat. Axe: Make The Switch!

This Axe Element Senior League Baseball Bat (L139F) features a drop 8 length to weight ratio, a standard 2 5/8-inch barrel diameter, and the USA baseball certification. Experience the Axe handle advantage and get one of these Axe baseball bats today with free shipping and a full one (1) year manufacturer's warranty. Remember, we're here for you from click to hit!

Axe Handle Scientifically Proven Benefits
Better Bat Control - High-speed video reveals a "hammering" motion from the traditional round knob. The Axe handle stabilizes the grip, increasing barrel control.
More Power & Bat Speed - Range of motion is increased and tension is reduced in the hands, resulting in greater power transfer and more bat speed.
Enhanced Comfort - The Axe handle is ergonomically designed to fit naturally in the contour of your hand.
Reduces Injuries - Traditional handles put tremendous pressure on a single point of the hand, which contains the commonly broken Hamate bone. The flush backside of the Axe handle relieves this pressure.

Different! we got the Axe and new USA standard Cory coach

Pros: my son wasn't sure at first and then seemed to really like the Axe handle. I thought he hit well with it and still good distance in practicing with it.

Cons: Just not enough reviews and not got to try other new USA bats to see how the axe stacks up.

Great Bat Andy parent

Pros: My son loves it!!!! After having owned the 2017 Axe element my son wanted another for the 2018 usa bat standard. I was a little nervous b/c of the drop -8 but he has not missed a step. He said it swings easier and feels equal to or better than the 2017. He got it 2-3 weeks ago and he has had about 5-6 hours of cage time with it and loves it!!!!

Cons: Only con he has is getting used to the change from composite to alloy.

The winner is? Lou parent

Pros: We tried the Easton Ghost bat and the AXE, After hitting with both twice he felt the Axe was had more balance and pop. The handle felt more comfortable when swinging. You won't be disappointed with this bat. Don't waste your money on the expensive overrated Easton.

Cons: None

Excellent bat Tony F parent

Pros: I rated this bat a 5 in pop but let me clarify, that is in comparison to other USAbats. all USAbats are going to have considerably less pop than what we are used to. I have seen other USAbats being used in games and practice. The expensive Eastons have really not impressed me. The only USAbat I liked prior to this is the Rawlings Prodigy. The Element is one of the sharpest looking bats on the market. My son swings a -8 mako Xl big barrel right now. Although they are the same weight and length he says the Axe feels lighter and swings smoother. I notice when he swings the bat he is swinging faster and he is staying through the ball consistently, where as he was starting to develop a bad habit of letting go of his top hand with his mako. The Element is a single piece alloy. My son is bat sting sensitive but has yet to notice any more sting than his current two piece composite. Also his wrist has been sore lately but it doesn't bother him while swinging the Axe unlike his Mako

Cons: none so far

Excellent bat Tony F parent

Pros: One of the best USAbats on the market. Son loves it, says it's easier to swing than the -8 would suggest. He loves the handle and is staying through the ball as opposed to letting go of his top hand prior to contact. Pop is good for a USAbat, better than a lot others on the market right now but on par with the better popping bats

Cons: None so far

awesome bat J. Amalbert parent

Pros: Great feel and swing. Because of the hyper whip end cap swings fairly balanced for an end loaded bat. Also swings lighter than the actual weight. Basically a 20 ounce bat swings like an 18 ounce bat. Also for a one piece alloy my son said he barely feels any sting and if he does it's a little bit on his top hand only. Pop is pretty good for a usa bat and because it swings lighter than the weight he can swing a heavier bat for more mass and keep his bat speed. Only had it for a couple of months so can't comment on durability just yet

Cons: None so far

Best bang for the buck USA bat MDC parent

Pros: My son 11 yo was swinging a combat 27 17 -10 pg4 last year so i was concerned he wouldn't be able to generate bat speed with the AXE 28 20 -8. He hit a bucket of the tee and said it felt just as light with better balance then the lighter combat. Then the real test. At travel ball practice he decided to use it in bp and was driving the ball just as hard and far as the kids with usssa 1.15 bats! Save your money, buy this bat.

Cons: The grip could be better, need to swap it out with lizard skin

Good solid bat Titans 08 parent

Pros: The Element has a very light swing weight for a -8. My son swings it as well as any -10 model. Has good pop for a USA bat. He has become a big fan of the Axe handle and feel of the bat. He liked the Element so much that we purchased a USSSA Axe Elite for tournamnet games.

Cons: non so far

Awesome USA Bat Roger Riggs parent

Pros: This bat is awesome! Got it for my 11 year old son. We were really dreading the change to the USA bat. Most reviews are terrible and from what we had seen they have no pop and poor performance. After much study I narrowed down to the Axe Origin or Element or the Easton Ghost X. I chose the Element because ratings seemed to edge out the Origin for not too much more expense. Reviews on the Ghost X look good but I liked the idea of the 30 day no risk challenge on the Axe. NO REGRETS! He is hitting as good or better than he did with his old Easton. Has great pop! Swings like a much lighter bat. Everyone looked at it a little funny when we first got it but now other kids are asking if they can try it. We have the 31" 23oz He swings it so well I wonder if we could have gone with a 32". Try it. You won't go wrong!

Cons: None, we love it!

Cal Ripken Black Hills Coach Stanley Cruz coach

Pros: Bat is well balanced, it's a great hitting in cold weather too...My son went 2-2 in with 33 degrees outside...Just a solid bat that ensures hitters to have flat hands in the zone... Just a great tool for all hitters, highly recommend!!!

Cons: The AXE bat is about feel with the same similarity of swinging an actual AXE bat handle...Some players won't like the feel...

Solid Bat imagine 2019 is even better Robert Coach

Pros: Got on sale a few weeks back because my 8 year old needed a heavier bat. He loves the handle and has crushed some balls. Not quite as much pop as my 2018 Demartini two piece I bought, but still impressive.

Cons: My son complained of some vibration pains when getting jammed, but otherwise nothing

Great bat for Middle School baseball Craig Parent

Pros: Great feel to the handle and the bat. Very comfortable to hold and looks sharp. My 13 year old son loves it and would high recommend it!

Cons: Like most USA bats, this one lacks the pop of some other types of bats. But USA bats are legal in Middle School, so we pulled the trigger.

I heard that sometime in December Axe was going to release a drop 10 in this model. If that is true can you give me a date? Mike
We are unaware of the 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F being made in a -10 model. At this time it would be best to reach out to Axe directly to see if that is the case.

Carter

The 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F will be USA certified, which will be legal for Little League,while the USSSA will be legal for travel ball. it will also be a 2 5/8'' barrel diameter compared to the 2 3/4'' barrel diameter of the 2018 Axe Element USSSA.

Is this bat made of alloy or composite? texas bandits
This 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat (L139F) is an alloy material baseball bat.
Ben
I am worried about the minus 8 drop. My son swings 29 minus 10 now. Can I get this bat in a minus 10? ax
The 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F is not constructed in a -10 model at this time.
Cameron
Is an Axe bat that has a USSSA sticker legal for Little League? Bob
USSSA bats will not be allowed for Little League play. However, this 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F is USA certified and will be allowed for Little League this year.
Tyler
If my son is use to swinging a balanced bat, -12 COMBAT, will the -8 end loaded Axe bat be difficult for him to maintain his bat speed? He is on the small side for 9 years old. MC1023
Going from a balanced bat to an end-loaded model can be an adjustment for some players to get comfortable with. Jumping from a -12 model to the 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F would be a tough adjustment for any player to make, regardless of the swing weight design, and certainly one we would recommend avoiding for a 9 year old player. Unfortunately, at this time one will not find an Axe bat in the -10 category.
Cameron
Does the bat shape make the Axe bats easier to swing? How does the swing weight of the -8 Axe Element compare to swing weight of a balanced -10? PF
The unique Axe handle design does make the bat easier to swing for some players. From what I've heard is players either love the unique handle design or they aren't a fan and want a more standard handle. The swing weight of a -8 will be similar to other bats that are a -8 and a balanced design.

My son is 11 and will be 12 in July; He is 5 feet and 117 lbs. His travel team plays in the game day usa league tournaments, etc. and with all the changes, I want to confirm this bat is acceptable and if the 31 inch works for the next few years? Andrew P.
The 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F is USA certified and will be allowed in all leagues for 2018 play. I cannot speak on certifications for the future, but I would imagine they would not change USA specifications for at least a few more years now.
Tyler
Is this bat a 2 5/8" barrel? Matt Grosenheider
This 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F has a 2 5/8" barrel diameter.
Tyler
My son is 12 and considering an Axe Element 31/23. He is coming from a 31 inch drop 12 Rawlings bat last year. He has grown and is stronger but is more of a rec player. I am concerned about his bat speed. Will the drop 8 be too much of a jump for him? Jeff Kramer
The 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F is very true to weight and could absolutely be a good option for your son especially due to the limited options in smaller sized USA bats. It does feature a no risk 30-day guarantee so you guys could try it out and if it happened to be too heavy for him you would be able to return that for a full refund or exchange.
Carter
Will hitting a Skilz Hurricane or hitting stick hurt this bat? With composite bats we never hit anything accept real baseballs. Coach B
I don't see any issues with using this bat or any other with a hitting practice tool such as that. Those tools design the balls to be as close to a regular baseball as possible as far as we are aware.
Kyle J.
The Justbats.com description for the Element model says it's end-loaded and the Justbats.com description for the Origin says it's got a balanced swing, but the Axe website describes both as "Power Balanced" and gives the Element a higher balance score of 9 than the Origin, which it gives an 8. Can you explain this? I want to get a balanced bat instead of an end-loaded bat but the Axe seems to contradict the descriptions on Justbats.com. clpjpc
We have seen feedback vary from player to player when it comes to the swing weights of the 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F and the 2018 Axe Origin -8 USA Baseball Bat: L135F. Our product description is incorrect and we will get that adjusted immediately. The 2018 Axe Origin -8 USA Baseball Bat: L135F features a one-piece, traditional alloy construction with an end loaded swing weight, the Origin is recommended for power hitters who are looking to increase their power at the plate. While the 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F features an end loaded swing weight for more mass behind your swing, the HyperWhip composite end cap helps reduce unnecessary weight towards the end of the barrel for improved swing speeds and control through the zone.
Dan
Can this bat be used for the new little league standards? Is the 2 5/8 inch barrel compliant? Jose
The 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F is USA certified and will be allowed for Little League play in 2018. Furthermore, the 2 5/8" barrel size will be compliant with all necessary qualifications.
Tyler
My son has used the Axe -10 origin up till now and loves this bat. He is getting consistent base hits and doubles with this bat. Now he has to go up to a -8 bat and we are torn between the Origin -8 and the Element -8. He is not a real power hitter but is a good lead off/contact hitter looking to get a bit more distance in his hits. He is 5'1" and weighs 88 lbs. Any advice which one to choose? stef
Based on the player's current height and weight, a 30 inch model would be ideal. As for whether to get the 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F or 2018 Axe Origin -8 Senior League Baseball Bat: L162F that really depends on what certification you must follow. A USA bat, like the Element, will have lower performance compared to the USSSA bats, like the Origin. The reason for this is due to USA bats having thicker barrel walls.
Cameron
What weight is this bat coming in at vs the advertised weight? chris
Most bats will be around 1-2 oz heavier than the listed weight since manufacturers weigh bats before things like the paint, end cap glue and grip tape adhesive are factored in. We chose 1 of these at random to weigh and it came in .9 oz heavier than the listed weight.
Kyle J.
Is this bat a drop 3? jonah
This 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F is a drop 8 bat. A similar model is available in a drop 3 size. That product is the 2018 Axe Element BBCOR Baseball Bat: L137F.
Tyler
I have a 13 year old and I need to know if this is more his size? sayje
The 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F is a great option for players that need lighter options and are not required to use BBCOR bats. For the most part, 13-14 year old players are hitting -5 or BBCOR (-3) bats.
Daveron
If you choke up, should you get a shorter bat and not choke up to take advantage of the axe handle? JohnnyH
To fully utilize the Axe handle I would not recommend choking up and stick to your normal swing size for the 2018 Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F.
Max
My 11 yr old son is very small for his size. He’s a great contact hitter with lots of speed. He’s coming from a Mako 12 drop in travel ball. He needs one compliant for league ball. Would the 28'' in be a good size for him? Would this one create a little more pop than the Origin? Scott Willett
The Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F could be a good option for your son, but the Axe Element -8 USA Baseball Bat: L139F will be end loaded. The end loaded options can be tough for less physically strong players to get the bat quickly through the zone. Because your son is more of a contact hitter I would recommend sticking with a more balanced option that will give him more control and speed through the hitting zone.
