Description

Chop away the competition with Axe baseball bats! The Origin series is tougher and more improved. Once you make the switch to the Patented Axe Handle which enables MaxBat speed, more barrel control and your best swing, more often, you'll never go back. That's a fact. With a one-piece, traditional alloy construction combined with a composite HyperWhip end-cap you won't be swinging behind too many pitches. The Origin is recommended for contact hitters who are looking to increase their bat speed at the plate. Each model is made up of the ultra-strong Performance LP1 alloy that delivers season after season performance with explosive pop. An engineered hitting zone extends the sweet spot while maximizing performance and durability over a 270-degree contact area. This allows you to never rotate your barrel without the worry of damaging one side - a benefit you'll only see when you swing Axe bats. On the other end, Axe utilizes the shock-absorbing Endogrid technology which is built into the handle and helps eliminate negative feedback in the bottom hand so that you never have to deal with sting that is commonly felt when swinging a one-piece baseball bat. Axe: Make The Switch!

This Axe Origin USA Baseball Bat (L135G) features a standard 2 5/8-inch barrel diameter, a drop 8 length to weight ratio, and the USABat certification making it approved for play in AABC, Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken, Dixie Youth, Little League, and Pony. Make the switch and buy the Axe Origin baseball bat today with free shipping and a full one (1) year manufacturer's warranty. Remember, with our expert customer service, 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.

Love Axe but swings a bit heavy Baseball Dad and Coach Coach

Pros: My son and I love the Axe bats. He has owned three Axe bats. The cap cracked on one bat and Axe replaced it just as promised. My son loves the feel of the Axe handle, and I am convinced that it keeps him from "rolling over". We have had a great experience with the brand, and the Axe technology has helped his hitting.

Cons: Because of his age, my son had to move to a drop 8 (-8) bat. The Axe drop 8 felt like it had a heavier swing weight than some other brands. We may migrate to a different brand of bat based on swing weight. The Axe just feels heavier. My son is small, so this may not be an issue for many players.

We Love Axe Coach Dad Coach

Pros: My son has used Axe bats for about three seasons. He loves the feel of the Axe handle and has experienced a lot of success. We think highly of the brand, the technology, and the customer service. We would choose Axe again.

Cons: My 13 year old had to move to a drop -8 this season. He was moving from a 30 /20 to a 31/23 drop -8. He found the swing weight of the Axe drop -8 to be too heavy - maybe end loaded. We migrated away from Axe to a bat he felt had a lighter swing weight and a more balanced feel. We love Axe, just not a good fit for my son right now. He is a small 13 year old weighing in at 83 pounds.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Axe Origin -8 USA Baseball Bat: L135G? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

My son is 5'2'' and about 125 lbs, he is only 11. The length is fine but is the 22 oz too much? Martin
If your son feels comfortable swinging a heavier bat, like the Axe Origin -8 USA Baseball Bat: L135G, then there is certainly nothing wrong with that. Generally speaking, for a player that is 11 years old we would recommend a -10 length-to-weight ratio bat.
Cameron
My impression is this is a light swinging bat. Son is 9 1/2 and about 80 pounds. He’s been swinging an Easton Mako 29” with a drop 11. Do you think the drop 8 might be too heavy or should I go with the drop 10? John
For a player of your son's height, weight and age, we would recommend going to a drop 10 if seeking a heavier bat. The Axe Origin -8 USA Baseball Bat: L135G, although a balanced bat, is better served for someone between the ages of 12-13.
Cameron
is this bat returnable Mike
You can return the Axe Origin -8 USA Baseball Bat: L135G back to us as long as it is unused. If you would like to try the bat out for 30-day, Bat Assurance would need to be added to the purchase.
Lauren
With the static hand position, wouldn’t bats wear out faster since it’ll only see hits on one side? Mike
Since one only uses one side of the barrel when hitting with the Axe Origin -8 USA Baseball Bat: L135G, the barrel wall on the hitting surface is designed accordingly to withstand the consistent usage over time.

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.
