| Breaking a wood bat can be tough for a hitter. Just when you’ve gotten a feel for your game model, you’re left with nothing but multiple pieces and splinters spread across the ground. The hit your wallet takes when you have to replace that gamer can be even worse. |
It’s hard to estimate the life of any bat, but we’ve compiled a short list of some great wood baseball bat models that are very durable and backed by the safeguard of a manufacturer’s warranty. Let’s check them out: |
Baum Bat Composite Wood Bat (AAA) Pro
| With an extremely light swing weight, provided by the combination of a foamed composite core and Ash wood exterior shell, the Baum Bat (AAA) Pro has been a staple in the composite/wood bat market for quite a few years. Even approved for play on the Minor League level, this workhorse is backed by a 4 Month Manufacturer’s Warranty. |

- BBCOR Certified
- 2.505” Barrel Diameter

Louisville Slugger MLB Hybrid Maple Composite Wood Bat (BBHY14-13NNA)
|
Cut into Evan Longoria’s I13 turn model, this MLB Hybrid offers an extremely hard hitting surface with increased durability provided by a Two-Piece Carbon Fiber Rod Technology. This unique design is composed of a carbon rod that runs the full length of the handle and stops just below the barrel. Another carbon rod is inserted into the middle of the barrel to improve it’s strength, but the two-piece design eliminates vibration that is common with other composite wood models. As an added benefit, Slugger backs this solid design with a 120 Day Manufacturer’s Warranty. |

- BBCOR Certified
- Evan Longoria I13 Turning Model

DeMarini Pro Maple Composite Wood Bat (DX271)
| Another great bat from DeMarini, the (DX271) Composite Wood Bat, features a hard Pro Grade maple barrel and Composite Wood Handle that provides a bit more flex than traditional wood bats. More flex means more trampoline effect on contact. Combined with the slightly end loaded swing weight provided by its 271 turn model (Medium Barrel/Long Taper/15/16” Handle) and 3 Month Manufacturer’s warranty, this model is a great choice for players transitioning to wood bats. |
- Approximate -2 to -3 Length to Weight Ratio

- Composite Wood Handle with Synthetic Coating for Better Feel
- Pro Grade Maple Barrel
- 271 Turning Model
- Slightly End Loaded Swing Weight

Chandler Pro Maple Wood Bat (VIC18)
|
The extremely high density maple wood that Chandler cuts all of their Pro models from and guarantee of ultra-straight wood grain with the MLB-approved Ink Dot would be enough for most players. But to back the quality of their product, Chandler offers a 50 Hit Guarantee. If your bat were to break within the first 50 actual hits, under normal use, Chandler would exchange it out for an identical model. Pretty solid offer considering even most high-end fully maple bats aren’t backed by warranty. |

- Approximate -2 to -3 Length to Weight Ratio
- Medium Barrel
- 57/64” Handle
- 2.03” Knob
