Description

Baden Sports is proud to present their revolutionary new line of Axe handle bats! If you've never heard of the patented Axe handle, you're missing out. The revolutionary design is exactly what it sounds like. The handle of an Axe bat is designed like the handle of an actual axe to provide optimal control and grip of the bat. This asymmetrical handle is biomechanically engineered for a flush fit and assists in keeping a hitter on the correct swing plane. As a result, players get better barrel accuracy and a decreased risk of injury and hand fatigue. The Axe Elite BBCOR features a two-piece design with a Plus Plus Composite Handle and an LP Scandium Alloy Barrel. The LP, or Longitudinal Performance, Alloy is enhanced aluminum that is designed to lengthen the sweet spot and increase durability. The Axe Elite also features an evenly balanced swing weight with optimum flex to give players maximum bat speed and massive trampoline effect on impact. Axe is so sure you'll love this bat, they are offering a 30 Day Money Back Guarantee. If for some reason the Axe is not for you, just send it back to them... no questions asked. With maximum legal performance, wider and more forgiving sweet spots, outstanding durability, and a performance guarantee, there is no reason not to give Axe's new BBCOR bat a shot!

Pros: the bat has a lot of pop and feels really good through the strike zone. First time out I hit one to the fence so it has enough pop for a BBCore.

Cons: Wished I had this last year. Have not really tried the wood bat yet on the field, just batting cage stuff so far.

Donnie

Pros: Feel

Cons: Bat dented within 2 weeks. Shipped back overnight at my expense. Nobody there to sign for it when it arrived. 3 days later was advised they would ship a new one. They shipped it UPS ground and it will be 10 days getting here. Season is almost over, seems like a lot of money for a bat that didn't make the season and customer service seriously lacking. I did get the standard apology when I contacted the company. I would not buy another one and wish I had not bought this one.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Axe Elite BBCOR Baseball Bat: L130? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

What makes this bat so goo and worth 299.99? Redbirds 44
Besides the fact that with the purchase of this bat you get a L170 Maple Composite BBcor wood bat for free, but the unique design of the Axe handle gives the hitter more control and a better grip.
Shelbe
We live in Colorado and our spring season is cool at best, how does this bat react to 60 degree temps, sometimes cooler? Boots
It should still be ok in 60 degrees, but I would be careful going much below that.
manup
Like to know if the bat are both legal in college ball games? My son likes the style of the bat but playing college ball in the NAIA Midwest team. Thanks Dell Dell
Both bats are BBCOR certified making them legal for play in High School and at all college levels.
John
will there ever be a video of this bat? chinnychinchin
Since it is a new bat, I'm sure we will be doing one soon. I forwarded your request for one to our Media Dept.
lkh
What makes this bat and its handle better then any other bat? sam
The Axe handle just gives the hitter more control and a better grip. It also helps the hitter make sure they are holding the bat properly.
K.B.
would this bat be worth buying if it had a normal handle? is the bat itself top class? tom
This will be a pretty good performing hybrid BBCOR bat. It may not be a top-tier bat, but it's definitely better than a lot of others. The handle's really just a personal preference. I know some people who like it, and others who just can't get used to it.
Ryan
Does this bat have a loud ping, or does it have a dud sound like other bbcor. tom
I will not have a ping sound because it is composite wood.
Linda
One of your other workers "linda" said that this bat is a wood bat, and has no ping. Is this true? q
Yes, the L170 is a wood bat. The L130 is a half and half design with a composite handle and an alloy barrel.
Sean
The idea of the Axe handle seems great but arent you confined to only 1 area of the bat? in other words you cant have the bat handle face any other direction tripleplay
The handle is designed to be most efficient for better control and awesome grip.
Linda
Is there a problem with the bat because of always hitting the ball on the same area? Mike Jones
I have not heard on this issue, the bat is under warranty for 1 year. You can send the bat to the manufacture and they will replace it.
KG
So we live in Seattle and during the HS baseball season it is rarely over 60 degrees, what bats should the kids be using? JC Nelson
Any wood or alloy bats are going to be best suited for cold climates.
K.B.
Why is the end of the bat that way? Bulls2412
This is designed to have the feeling of using an axe. Baden is the only company that does this as it helps by adding power to your swing.
KG
will this bat be like the normal bbcor two peice bats and lag behind catchers questions
Admittedly, BBCOR bats do hit differently, not sure about lagging though.
Linda

Both will be very balanced in feel
John

They are both 2 5/8 inch barrels.
KB

Although Axe is new to the market, they are backed by Baden Sports, Inc., an independent, family-owned company that has been making baseball products since 1979. Their passion to create a better game is unparalleled, making it no surprise that the Axe handle is set to be baseball's next big thing.
