Pros: Best composite wood bat around. It hits like wood. This bat is filled with a foam like substance and even when I hit it off the handle or the end it never broke. Bought my first one in 2003 and used it until I got a new one in 2008. Still use my old one for BP and the new one in games.
Cons: none
Pros: My very first wood bat and I could not be happier. The weight displacement is excellent and the ball explodes off the bat. Also love the knobby handle. Was concerned about buying such an expensive wood bat but after researching a little bit I found you weren't going to find a better bat out there w/that kind of guarantee as well.
Cons: Needs lots of pine tar.
Pros: Great Bat! Bought it about a year ago for a practice bat because the team I play for uses wood year round and we have to hit in the cages with wood and every bat i used broke. This one has fisted balls repeatedly and off the end and it has not broken in any way and hits great! Good Pop also.
Cons: None.
Pros: My daughter bought me this bat, and it was the best feeling bat I have used in a long while. My teammates didnt like the small knob at first but it quickly became the most popular bat we had. We averaged 1.4 homeruns per game since getting it. It repeatedly paid for itself. I have 7 minor league players who love it and will be buying one for themselves for next year in Low A and Rookie ball.
Cons: It can be broken in the handle if a batter has weak hands, but Baum Bat will replace it as advertized. Amazing for a smaller company.
Pros: Long lasting, great pop. I use the 33" 30oz and it feels perfectly weighted. Hit two HRs in a row in my last game. Both off the first pitch. 3 RBI for the first and a Grand Slam for the second! If you're in a wood bat league don't go past Baum. Yes they are a little more expensive but they are worth their weight in gold. Long lasting and the just get better and better the more you use them.
Cons: Only con is that the handle is very slippery. I use batting gloves plus pine tar.
Pros: Looks,feels,and sounds just like a wood bat. I bought this for my 14YO first wood bat league after breaking a couple of Louivilles. He loves the balance and says it feels lighter than his alloy -3 bat. He's getting consistant hits every game with it. My son really likes the bat and it gets a lot of attention at practices.
Cons: A bit pricy, and I know this is cosmetic. But I would have expected the finish to be a bit nicer looking for $200+.
Pros: The first time I swung this bat it felt great. 1st at bat hit a screaming line drive up the middle (almost took the pitcher's hat off!) and ever since then I made it a priority to own one for myself although it is expensive. It's a big plus that I don't have to worry about it breaking. - Well Balanced - Great Pop - Durability
Cons: - Expensive - Boring look - Only one design
Pros: If you want a durable product look no further. Hands down the best composite wood bat on the market. Many players say they don't like hitting with wood composite because the ball doesn't come off of the bat like a real wood bat. NOT the case with this bat. Very true wood bat feel.
Cons: If taken care of no problems. If mistreated foam can chip from end cap area and handle knob.
Pros: Love this bat, Felt good to hit with. But it does break .
Cons: The Baum Factory only has a 6 month return/repair policy . My bat started to split and then broke in half two days after the 6 month mark. They said sorry . So keep the date of of purchase handy in case you need to return or repair within the 6 month date of purchase. Don't know if I will go with another Baum or not.
Pros: This is the best wood bat I have ever own.it has more pop than my marucci AP05, and my demarini 271, it is also great for some one who just started playing in wood lieges.
Cons: For the price it could look nicer.However, you buy the bat for performance and durability not the looks.
Pros: Quick shipping. Bat has great pop and is well balanced compared to other wood that are usually barrel heavy. Will buy another if and when needed.
Cons: Minor blemish on end but needed it for a tournament so could not return. Should not affect performance just a little disappointing in the quality control.
Pros: I've been using this bat for 3 years now. I take BP with it in the cage and at practice. I hit grounders to our infielders with it. I use it in games. This bat has been abused and it still hasn't broken. It has amazing pop. When you hit the sweet spot you don't feel a thing. The handle may be thick for some but it doesn't bother me. As far as durability is concerned I play in 2 rec leagues here in VA that are 20-25 games per league not including playoffs. I've seen guys on my teams buy Louisville, Rawlings, even Marucci. They go through 6-10 bats per season and I've been using the same bat for 3 seasons. If anyone is skeptical, don't be. This is the best composite bat on the market. PERIOD. Nothing else compares. Not even those DeMarini bats.
Cons: Absolutely NONE.
Pros: The bat has a great swing feel. is balanced the way i like and had get pop. i am consisering another.
Cons: The bat snapped at the handle after 8 months. I believe they only provide 4 month guarantee. Havent decided if I will buy another but but don't know a good alternative.
Pros: The pop this bat provides is awesome, first live pitch I saw in 2011 went over the fence. Its 3 full seasons later and my Baum has the same pop. I can hit the ball "wrong" and the ball will still fly. Amazing!
Cons: Top of the Bat chipping away...then again my bat is 3 years old.
Pros: Used this bat for 2 years so far. Absolutely zero problems. Feels like wood and sounds like wood. No dull noise, just a solid crack when you hit the ball. Expensive purchase but you'll never have to buy another bat. So it's worth the investment.
Cons: Finish isn't as pretty as most bats out there. But I'll take function over form. It's just going to get marked up anyways.
Pros: shouldve broke but didnt. im 6'4" 260 lbs and got jammed real bad on a fastball , any other bat would have broke but the baum didnt, my hand did turn green for about a day though . also this bat hit in the sweet spot is very hot and seems to keep getting better with time. well worth the money instead of a new bat every couple of weeks or game. another plus is you can hit the bat on anyside.
Cons: wish it had a bigger knob.
Pros: Put 3000+ swings in an 80 batting cage. Love the stiffness and pop of this bat. Hits the ball very well. Balanced which I prefer. The bat snapped in half just above the grip. I sent pics and the explanation of how it happened. I got a replacement from Baum in less than a week. Wonderful customer service. I swing hard and am not selective of pitches. This bat took a beating and was hammering the ball right up until it snapped in half. I had a cheap ash bat that didn't last 3 rounds in that same batting cage. That's should say a lot for the durability of this bat.
Cons: None at all. It's a great bat for me.
Pros: Good pop. Resound able sound. A little expensive for composite wood.
Cons: The end broke off after a few months of intense usuage. 2 months in season and just gearing up for next season and it breaks. My son kept it in his room every night. He is 16.
Pros: Durable. The times I've been jammed inside that bat has not shattered. I've used this bat for the last 4 weeks and it has good balance.
Cons: I am underwhelmed by the pop. For the last 4 weeks I've only used this bat. I'm not feeling it. After about 20 cuts this weekend with the Baum, I decided to try my friends Maple DeMarini. OMG, a dramatic difference in pop. I felt way more pop. The ball was jumping off the bat and I was getting the sound I wasn't able to get from the Baum. Sound isn't as important to me as the pop, but it helped validate that I was using the wrong bat. Perhaps I bought a defective Baum. I'm just glad to know I have a better option.
Pros: I was second guessing buying this bat because i wasnt sure if it was worth the 220 dollars but it hits great and feels great.
Cons: When i pulled it out of the box the knob looked like someone hit it on the ground and flattened nearly half of the knob.
Pros: very comparable to bbcor bats didn't miss a swing going to this bat from my bbcor lasts forever. no more spending $100 on a wood bat that only lasts a few weeks.
Cons: price, but the performance makes it worth it. very slippery, but add a quality bat grip and you'll be fine.
Pros: It does have a great pop! It handles really well! This is a really good bat if not for cracking so early... see below.
Cons: I got this bat about three weeks ago and last week it started to crack at the end of the barrel. It still on warranty, though it's a pain in the neck going thru the whole return process! Btw, per others' review, it appears (cracking at the end) is a common issue that, I hope, the company will take a hard look at. It's pricy, but it's not supposed to break that fast as other bats!
Pros: Great if want the wood feel without the breaking associated with wood bats. Beautiful sound when squared up.
Cons: Awful durability, the end cap started to chip after 1 month. The pop is just okay, with a swing speed in the mid 80's, I wasn't too impressed with the balls flight off the barrel. Speaking of barrels lets thank about the bats undersized barrel coming in at 2.5" (versus 2.65" on your standard 2 5/8 BBC or bat). This bat will sting your hands very bad if you get sawed-off. I do not recommend this product...
Pros: Our sons first Baum bat lasted 2 1/2 years between travel ball and college ball and finally broke a few weeks ago. That's impressive for a wood bat! Lots of pop and very durable! Was spending lots of money on cheaper wood bats that he would break in a month! Well worth the money to get the Baum bat!
Cons: None
Pros: Durability was a key issue for me. I have been playing senior baseball for since 1989 and bought a Baum composite bat in the Rocket model which lasted almost twenty years before finally breaking. It still had pop and I absolutely loved that bat. It was also a team bat at one time. I highly recommend Baum bats.
Cons: I prefer a flat finish but did not want to pay extra. I think it should be the same price. Wish Baum would resurrect the Rocket model.
Pros: I had used multiple Baum Bats over my career, and enjoyed them all. Last December, I purchases a new 33 inch Baum Bat that I planned on using the rest of my high school baseball career (I was a Sophomore at the time of purchase.) I ended up making it for only one whole season before that barrel completely broke from the handle during a session off a pitching machine. I knew that the warranty wasn't good anymore, but I contacted Baum, and they even ended up giving me a significant discount off of my next Baum Bat. Highly recommend this product and this brand!
Cons: None!
Pros: Last longer than standard wood bats.
Cons: Sorry Baum. The quality of the bat is not what it use to be. I’m a huge fan of Baum bats as we used them in Independent leagues for 20+ years. I still have one of my original bats beat to hell. Recently I purchased my boys 2 Baum bats. The White Lightening and the Gun metal color bat. The white bat had visible defects in it out of the box. The wood veneer was sucked in at different areas of the barrel. And the ureathane capped area deteriorated quicker them I have experienced with past Baum bats. As that would always be the first to go but not in 2 weeks of use. Easily a year or so before the cap would show minimal signs of wear. Baum did warranty the bat even though I had it sitting in the garage corner after forgetting to return it. Baum had one game bat years ago just 2 different knobs. Now you have to buy a gold series to get the high quality we were use to. Still love ya. But times has definitely changed
Pros: Great pop and durability. I used this bat for the first 8 months of 2019 with no issues. Ball flies off the barrel and continues to deliver in all weather elements.
Cons: After about 6 months of heavy use, it started to splinter at the top of the barrel. Eventually the bat cracked in half, breaking at the handle.
