Tater Torpedo — The Sweet Spot Bat
The Torpedo works differently from every other bat in the lineup. Instead of distributing mass along the barrel, it concentrates weight directly into the hitter's natural impact zone — creating a larger, more forgiving sweet spot that produces explosive pop even on balls that aren't perfectly centered. The weight sits closer to the hands than a traditional end-load, so the bat stays quick and controlled through the zone.
It's built for hitters who have a clean, disciplined swing and want to add pop without adding drag. Outside pitches are harder to square up and Drop 3 increases break risk — swing it at Drop 2 and stay through the ball, and this bat does serious damage.

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.
