El X12CB — reequilibrado para velocidad de bateo
El X12CB toma el mango delgado probado del X12 y el barril mediano y agrega un pomo de disco de hockey que desplaza el punto de equilibrio hacia las manos, produciendo un swing más rápido y controlado sin cambiar el giro.
Pomo de Disco
El pomo de disco extendido de ~1" contrarresta el peso del barril, moviendo el punto de equilibrio más cerca de las manos para una sensación más rápida y ligera a través de la zona.
Swing Más Rápido
El punto de equilibrio más cerca de las manos significa que el barril se mueve más rápido, lo que da a los bateadores más tiempo para leer el lanzamiento y aun así pasar por la zona con autoridad.
Madera de Grado Profesional
Disponible en arce o abedul — con certificado de punto de tinta, partida a mano y frotada con hueso, con el mismo estándar que nuestros bates de jugadores de la MLB.
⚾
Peso de swing recomendado -2 (drop 2): El pomo contrapesado es más efectivo con ese peso, lo que le brinda el swing más rápido sin sacrificar el control.

Tater X12CB — El X12 Contrapesado

El X12CB está diseñado para bateadores que aman el X12 pero quieren más velocidad de bateo. El pomo de disco de hockey añade aproximadamente 1" al extremo del mango y contrarresta el barril, desplazando el punto de equilibrio más cerca de las manos para que el bate se sienta más ligero y se mueva más rápido a través de la zona. El mismo mango delgado, el mismo barril mediano, la misma sensación equilibrada que el X12. Simplemente más rápido.

El pomo de disco abocinado se asienta cómodamente en la mano inferior y mantiene el agarre seguro durante el contacto, brindando a los bateadores el control para mantener la pelota incluso a velocidades de swing más altas.

Tater® vs. other brands

There's a reason pros are switching to swing Tater®

Most wood bats are made for retail shelves — lower-grade lumber, bulk machining, inconsistent pop. The Tater® Wood Bat is hand-split, hand-finished, and bone-rubbed to MLB standards.

  • Higher density wood lasts longer and provides better “pop” off the barrel.
  • Ink dot tested to prove our bats meet professional standards.
  • Hand-split wood follows the natural grain, making bats stronger, more durable, and less likely to break.
  • Bone rubbing compresses the wood fibers, making the bat harder, improving durability, and increasing ball exit speeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a counterbalance wood bat?
A counterbalance wood bat uses extra mass at the knob end of the handle to offset the barrel weight. The total bat weight on the scale stays the same, but the balance point shifts closer to your hands — which makes the bat feel lighter and swing faster. On the Tater X12CB, that extra mass comes from a hockey puck knob (about 1" of additional knob material). The benefit: faster bat speed without losing barrel mass. More time to read the pitch and still get through the zone with authority. It's why counterbalanced designs have become so popular in pro baseball over the last few seasons.
X12CB vs the standard X12 — which one should I pick?
Same turn shape, same thin handle, same medium barrel, same balanced feel. The only difference is the puck knob. Pick the standard X12 if you want the traditional balanced feel and a classic knob. Pick the X12CB if you want the same bat with extra bat speed from the counterbalance. Hitters who feel slightly late to the ball with a standard knob, or who want to feel the barrel move faster through the zone, tend to gravitate toward the X12CB. Both are built to the same MLB-grade standard.
What's the lead time on a Tater X12CB?
Custom build, approximately 10-14 business days (2-3 weeks).
What size wood bat should I order?
Most high school, college, and adult hitters swing 32"–34" at a -3 drop, meaning the weight in ounces is 3 less than the length in inches (a 33" bat weighs about 30 oz). Youth players usually swing 26"–31" depending on age. Between sizes? Go shorter: a bat you can control beats a bat you can't. Switching from metal? Wood swings heavier at the same length, so a balanced model like the X12 or 271 is a good start. Wood bats are allowed in most high school, college, and adult leagues (BBCOR certification applies to metal and composite bats, not wood), but rules vary, so check your league's rulebook. For a recommendation by height, weight, and level, see our Wood Bat Size Chart at www.taterbaseball.com/pages/wood-bat-size-chart
What types of wood are Tater bats made from?
Hard maple and yellow birch — both MLB-grade. Maple has been the pro standard for over 20 years: densest, hardest hitting surface, biggest pop on clean contact, but a smaller sweet spot and less forgiveness on mis-hits. Birch sits between maple and ash — similar density to maple with more flex on impact, which makes it more forgiving on mis-hits and a smart starting point for hitters transitioning from metal to wood. Read the full breakdown in our Maple vs Birch vs Ash guide at /blogs/the-lumber-yard/differences-between-maple-birch-and-ash-bats.
Do you offer discounts for team or bulk orders?
Yes. Team and bulk pricing starts at 12 bats, and team engraving is available. Send your models, sizes, roster count, and when you need them to contact@taterbaseball.com or through /pages/contact-us, and we'll send a quote within one business day. The bigger the order, the better the price per bat.
Are Tater bats suitable for professional play?
Yes. Tater Baseball is an MLB-supplier wood bat company — our bats are swung by professional players at the highest level of the game. There is no separate "consumer-grade" production line. The same MLB-grade billets, the same hand-finishing process, and the same QA standards apply to every retail bat we ship as to the bats we cut for pro hitters.
What is the warranty on Tater wood bats?
Every Tater wood bat has a 30-day warranty against cracking from normal use, starting on the delivery date. It covers bats bought on taterbaseball.com, at our Cheshire store, or from an authorized dealer like Better Baseball. If your bat cracks, email contact@taterbaseball.com with your order number and photos, and we'll replace it. To keep it valid, don't hit dimpled cage balls, don't store the bat in a hot car or garage, and don't sand or modify the handle. Unused stock bats can also be returned or exchanged within 30 days; custom and engraved bats are final sale. Full details: https://www.taterbaseball.com/pages/tater-wooden-bat-warranty and /policies/refund-policy.
Why are wood bats cupped at the end?
Cupping is a small concave dish drilled into the end of the barrel. It removes a few grams of mass from the very tip, which shifts the bat's balance point slightly toward the hands and makes the swing feel quicker through the zone. Tater hand-cups each bat, and our process allows for variable cup depths to dial in feel without compromising end-cap strength — which actually reduces the risk of chips and cracks on inside pitches.
What is the black dot on the handle?
The ink dot is a quality check. Before a billet becomes a Tater bat, we test the straightness of its grain by placing a drop of ink on the handle and watching how it spreads along the grain. Straight grain is stronger and less likely to break. The dot that stays on the handle shows the bat passed that test before it left our shop. Every Tater maple and birch bat carries one.
