Bate de sóftbol de madera hecho a la perfección
El Tater® SB34 Torpedo es nuestro distintivo bate de sóftbol torpedo. Tiene una forma con peso concentrado en el barril que concentra la masa en el punto dulce. Ofrece a los bateadores de lanzamiento lento una superficie de contacto más grande y más potencia. El peso equilibrado del bate no los ralentiza.
Barril de punto dulce
La forma con peso concentrado en el barril desplaza la masa directamente a la zona de contacto: más superficie y más indulgencia donde es más probable que golpees la pelota.
Balanceo manejable
Un barril de tamaño mediano a grande con un extremo ligeramente recortado mantiene el peso del bate equilibrado: gran potencia sin el arrastre de un bate tradicional con peso concentrado en el extremo.
Arce duro de grado profesional
Arce duro construido con las mismas especificaciones de control de calidad que nuestros bates profesionales: duradero, denso y ofrece una sensación nítida y receptiva al contacto con el barril.
🥎
Disponible en 30 oz estándar — opciones más ligeras en el configurador. El SB34 está diseñado para jugadores de lanzamiento lento que desean la sensación clásica de un bate de madera con más control, más barril y más potencia donde cuenta.

El Tater® SB34 — un bate de sóftbol tipo torpedo bien hecho

El SB34 Torpedo se construye de manera diferente a un bate de sóftbol de madera estándar. En lugar de distribuir la masa uniformemente a lo largo del barril, la forma Torpedo concentra el peso en el punto dulce. Esto crea una zona de contacto más grande y indulgente que produce una potencia real incluso en bolas que no están perfectamente centradas. El extremo ligeramente recortado mantiene el peso del bate manejable para que los bateadores mantengan la velocidad a través de la zona.

A diferencia de los bates de sóftbol de composite o aluminio, el SB34 ofrece la retroalimentación y la sensación de la madera real. Está construido con arce duro según las mismas especificaciones de control de calidad que nuestros bates profesionales. Para los jugadores de lanzamiento lento que buscan algo que realmente rinda, este es el bate.

Comparación del SB34 Torpedo con el LGND34

La línea de sóftbol de Tater® tiene dos perfiles principales de madera:

  • LGND34 — pomo tradicional, barril largo, ligeramente cargado en el extremo. El perfil clásico de lanzamiento lento estilo Corndog. Aprobado por la ASA.
  • SB34 Torpedo (este) — forma de torpedo con el peso concentrado en el barril, peso de swing equilibrado, extremo ligeramente recortado. Diseñado para bateadores que desean más indulgencia en la zona de contacto y una mayor velocidad de bate.

El LGND34 es la elección del bateador de potencia. El SB34 Torpedo es el bate para los bateadores que quieren potencia sin sacrificar la velocidad del bate.

Diseñado para el sóftbol de lanzamiento lento

El sóftbol de lanzamiento lento a nivel competitivo exige un bate de madera que golpee fuerte y se mantenga manejable durante partidos largos. El SB34 Torpedo ofrece ambas cosas. La distribución de masa del torpedo crea una zona de bateo más grande que un giro tradicional. La sensación equilibrada mantiene a los bateadores en control en cada swing.

La construcción estándar es de 30 oz. Hay opciones más ligeras disponibles en nuestro Configurador de Bate de Madera Personalizado si desea un peso diferente.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a torpedo softball bat?
A torpedo softball bat has its mass concentrated into the sweet spot of the barrel — instead of being distributed evenly along the barrel like a traditional bat. The Tater® SB34 Torpedo applies this design to slow pitch wood bats. The result is a larger contact zone with more forgiveness on off-center hits, combined with a balanced swing weight that keeps hitters quick through the zone.
How does the SB34 Torpedo compare to the Tater LGND34?
The LGND34 is the classic slow pitch wood bat profile — traditional knob, long barrel, slightly end-weighted, ASA approved. It's the power-hitter's choice. The SB34 Torpedo is a different profile — barrel-loaded torpedo shape with a balanced swing weight. It's built for slow pitch hitters who want more contact-zone forgiveness and faster bat speed.
What size softball wood bat should I order?
Standard slow pitch softball wood bats are 34 inches long with a 28 oz weight (the league-standard sizing across NSA, USA Softball, USSSA, ASA, and most rec leagues). The BB34 and SB34 are both built to that 34"/28 oz spec. The difference between models is barrel profile, not length — BB34 has a larger power-leaning barrel; SB34 has a thinner contact-leaning profile. Slow pitch hitters who play multiple leagues typically settle on one 34"/28 oz bat that fits their swing style.
Are Tater softball wood bats legal in competitive play?
Wood softball bats are legal in some leagues but not all — and the rules vary significantly between ASA/USA Softball, USSSA, NSA, NCAA, and rec leagues. Always confirm with your specific league rulebook before using a wood bat in regulation play. Most rec leagues that allow wood approve our 34"/28 oz softball wood bats; some competitive leagues require ASA composite or stamped metal. Even in leagues where wood isn't permitted in games, our softball wood bats are widely used for batting practice, training, and mechanics development — wood teaches the mechanics aluminum lets you skip.
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 is available, typically starting at 12 bats. Contact our team sales desk with your spec, roster size, and timing through /pages/contact-us and we'll send a custom quote within one business day. The more bats in the order, the better the per-unit pricing scales.
What is the warranty on Tater wood bats?
30-day limited warranty on structural cracking under normal field use. To qualify, the bat must be a 2021 model year or later, you must be the original purchaser with proof of purchase from an authorized Tater dealer, and you must have followed our hitting guidelines (no cage-style dimpled balls, no storage in extreme heat or cold like a car trunk, no excessive moisture exposure). Full warranty terms and care guidelines at /pages/tater-wooden-bat-warranty.
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?
Every Tater maple and birch bat carries an ink dot near the handle as proof of MLB-grade slope-of-grain certification. The ink dot's bleed pattern reveals whether the wood grain runs cleanly along the bat's long axis — a tight bleed means safe, MLB-spec slope; a fast bleed means rejected billet. The dot is the visible proof every bat passed inspection before leaving our shop.

F.A.Q.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What size bat should I order?

Length: Any length from 30''-34''

Weight: Any weight from -3 to +2

Drop weight is the difference between bat length and weight. To determine a
bat’s weight in ounces, take the drop weight number and subtract/add it from the bat length. For example, a -3 drop weight means that a 34" bat
weighs 31 ounces (34 -3 = 31).

What types of wood are Tater bats made from?

Tater wood bats are made from top-grade maple and birch. Each type of wood offers unique benefits in terms of hardness, flexibility, and performance.

Maple has been dominating the batters box for the last 20+ years. Maple is the most used wood species in the pros. It is the most dense of the three wood bats and strongest all around.

However, since maple doesn't have much give or flex - more energy is transferred upon impact at the plate.

The downside to using maple is that the "sweet spot" is smaller than other woods and it is not as forgiving as other wood species on a miss hit.

Since there is little to no flex hitters who drive ball off end of the bat or hitters who don't like to crowd the plate may want to look towards Birch or Ash as a better option.

Birch is known to be the best of both worlds when compared to maple and ash. It has been becoming increasingly popular among players of all age groups.

It has similar density properties as maple yet has more flex and is more forgiving on miss hits.

This is especially a great option for new players to wood who do not want to pass up durability for performance and also suitable for players who are playing up a division
or age.
