Differences between a vertical material and a mainstream wood -made bat material
There are three mainstream wooden bat materials: Aodamo, White Ash Maple. Speaking of wooden bat materials, many people think of these.
Depending on the player, the preferences of each bat material are divided, and order bat, which specifies the bat material that is a raw material, is popular. In order to let you know the difference from the vertical material, we first explain the characteristics of these three materials.
Aodamo
It has excellent elasticity and has been gaining popularity of Japanese professional baseball players for a long time. Aodamo is said to take more than 70 years to become a bat material. For this reason, the price of bat using Aodamo is soaring as a material.
White ash
Although it is less than Aodamo, it is possible to hit a strong and fast hit because it has a rebellion. It is easy to demonstrate its power in dry areas and is used by many major league players. While there is a merit of a low price, there is also a disadvantage of durability in which the ball surface is easy to peel off and broke along the wooden eyes.

Birch material bat can feel a good and strong resilience. The biggest feature of the Birch is that you can make a good and good -fledged "strong play" like maple and "shinari" like Aodamo.
Birch materials are ideal for manufacturing light wooden bat
In recent baseball worlds, "light bat" has become popular regardless of professional or amateur. Most of the most commonly distributed wooden bats are 880g or more, but the number of wooden bats of 850 to 880g has increased.
It is said that the reason for seeking light bats is that the idea of "how strong and sharp swing can be made" and "whether you can make a swing to hit a strong ball" has spread throughout the baseball world.
In fact, "full swing", which is found in Japanese professional baseball, has been established in Yuki Yanagida and Masao Yoshida. In elementary and junior high school baseball teams, the number of leaders teaching "powerful swing using the whole body" has increased regardless of the size of the body.
In recent years, the idea of diet and body building has changed, and the number of players with large body has increased. Among these players, the number of players who use light bats to make sharp and strong swings is increasing, and there are also appearance that introduces the theory of hitting, mainly SNS.
These"Burch wood" is attracting attention in the rising flow of "light bat".is . Burch materials can also make a bat with a strong repulsive force even in light weight setting.
Some professional baseball players use a phenomenal light barch material bat in the first half of the 800g range. If you want a light bat, please try the bat of the vertical wood!
That said, there is still a small amount of distribution in Japan, so some people may have a hard time finding it. In the next chapter, I will introduce the barch material "GALE" released by Ball Park Dotcom.
Features of the wooden bat "GALE" using a North American yellow barch
New series of hard wooden bats "GALEIs a "ultimate one" that gathers the bat production technology cultivated by Ball Park Dot Com. Like grabs, we are particular about the quality of MADE IN JAPAN, and craftsmen are carefully scraping each one at domestic factories.
Super hybrid bat that combines "lightness" and "strength"
Rigid wooden bat "GALEIs a carefully selected yellow barch from North America. In professional baseball, Yuki Yanagida and Masao Yoshida also use the yellow burrit material. GALE is 84cm/855g (average), which is extremely light among commercially available hard wooden bats.is.
It is very easy to swing and makes it possible to make a sharper swing than ever. However, if you make a bat that will lose your power because it pursues lightness that is easy to swing, it will be overturned.
GALE has a light swing even if it is light, and sets a weight and bat balance so that the maximum power can be hit on the ball during impact."I want to increase the power of the swing and fly a strong hit in the distance."It can be said that it is the best bat for those who say!
Reasons for realizing light weight
GALEWeight 855gThe reason why the weight reduction was realized was that it took advantage of the unique characteristics of the vertical material.Scientifically prove "strength" as a batThat's because I was able to do it.
Ball Park Dotcom measures MOI numerical values for all bats produced.
* MOI numerical value = [mass] x [radius two square]
MOI numerical values are "inertia moments", and simply indicators represent "ease of rotation and difficulty of objects."
The lower the value, the easier it is to rotate, and the higher it is to rotate. In the production of GALE, only those with high MOI figures are commercialized. By doing so, it was possible to make a bat production that would not lose even if it was light.
The vertical bat "GALE" is recommended for such people!
