ASA Model 73

When choosing the weight of the bat, many people ask what does -2 or -3 or even or +2 mean?

The weight differential is the difference between the length and the weight.
So a 34 inch bat with a -3 would weigh 34 - 3 = 31 ounces.
A 33 inch bat with a +2 would weigh 33 + 2 = 35 ounces.
Subtract or add the weight differential from the length and that will give you the weight in ounces.

Now you can order your custom X Bat bat with YOUR own signature- just like the pros have done for years. Your custom X Bat can be engraved with your ACTUAL signature. Cost for the first bat is $20.00, subsequent orders are only $5.00 extra once we have your signature on file.

You will need to send your signature to us, signed with a black Sharpie (a regular pen is too fine), on a plain, white sheet of paper (no lines). Make it large enough to easily read and we can size it accordingly. Please send us your signature and include a copy of your email order confirmation.

Mail this information to:

Your order will ship within 2-3 weeks after receipt of your signature.

Now you can have your bat made to the exact specifications as the pros.

All bats used in professional play in both the Minor Leagues and the Major Leagues must adhere to the following specs:

• Each bat must have an ink mark on the handle to show that the radial slope of grain is in compliance
• Each bat must have an ink mark on the handle to show that the tangential slope of grain is in compliance
• Each bat must be marked with a unique number in order to trace the manufacturing date and history
• All bats must now be labeled on the edge grain surface of the bat instead of the face grain surface
• As of the 2024 season, all bat company logos may be one single color only

MLB spec prohibits the addition of any flags on bats so your bat will NOT come with a flag

Rush Production Orders have a 5 business day turnaround time starting the day after the order has been received. Rush Production means you jump to the front of thousands of people before you and is subject to availability of wood billets for your model, length and weight. If the correct billets are not available immediately for your bat, Rush Production status will put you first in line when they do become available. We produce new billets weekly and the range of weights is not predictable with a natural material like maple. There is a $40 per bat charge for rush production and overnight shipping is also available in addition to the Rush Production charge. A single order cannot be mixed with Rush Production and Regular Production as there would be two separate shipments and two separate shipping charges will be incurred.
