Slight End-Load Wood Bats

The middle-of-the-order lineup

Tater custom slight end-load wood bats push a touch of weight toward the barrel without giving up the swing speed of a balanced profile. You feel the barrel through the zone, get a little extra force at contact, and still stay quick enough to handle velocity. This is the family 3, 4, and 5 hitters and gap-to-power hitters gravitate toward. True contact hitters are usually better served by a balanced profile; pure power hitters by a fully end-loaded one.

Four slight end-load wood bats cover every persona. The XL5 pairs the elongated AP5 barrel with a medium handle for the standard power play. The XZ puts that XL5 barrel on a thin X12 handle for middle-of-the-order hitters who want speed and mass in one bat. The X6 brings an extra-long barrel on the 141 turn for versatility across hitting styles. The U238 pairs the XL5 barrel with a hamate-protecting U-knob for high-volume hitters. Tater custom slight end-load wood bats are cut one at a time from hand-selected maple or birch billet. They're turned at low speed and hand-finished in our Cheshire, Connecticut shop. Family-owned since 2015, 500–1,000 bats a week, from the shop that ships to MLB.
