Description

Just like its namesake, the Pioneer Maple Wood Baseball Bat abandons the norm and forces one to ask the question: "Why pay a premium price for solid wood, if you don't have to?". With the help and expertise of one of the best wood bat manufacturers on the planet, we're able to offer our own Exclusive Maple wood bat model at the deepest of discounts. Born from wood billets sourced from the finest North American Maple Timber, the sound, responsiveness, and feel of the Pioneer is unrivaled by any other bat at a similar price point. Since it stormed into the Major Leagues in 1997, Maple has been regarded as the most durable and highest performing wood that's typically used in bats. But the natural characteristics of that material are then magnified when each bat undergoes the famous Bone Rubbing process to harden the wood's surface prior to receiving its classy, gloss black finish. The result is a model that can withstand tons of game-perfecting reps in the cage or fence-rattling ropes on the diamond.

Be the last to leave the park, but the first to own the new Pioneer Maple Wood Baseball Bat. Pick up your own today with Fast, Free Shipping; Exclusively at JustBats.com!

Excellent bat Zach player

Pros: I bought this bat thinking it would be a cheap cage bat, but I soon realized balls just flat out jump off this bat. Comparable to a Marucci or Old Hickory.

Cons: Logos are just stickers, but who cares.

Maple pioneer bat Sam player

Pros: This is a very hard, durable and balanced bat with some of the best pop in a wood bat. My second swing with it (soft toss) the ball went through the back tarp wall of the cage, it was the first hole put in the wall. Great wood bat.

Cons: No cons

Great bat Mizuno #8 player

Pros: This bat has the most pop of any wood bat I've used. It's very strong and hits Dingers.

Cons: Would prefer no stickers and multiple colors for the bat, also the logo is Ppioneer it should just be Pioneer, but this doesn't change the performance.

Amazing Daren Byers player

Pros: the bat has very good pop and it also has a very smoth feel to the bat. I really like the balls jump of the bat and the weight is even throughout the bat and not end heavy like some other bats i have had

Cons: the only problem i have with the bat is the logos are stickers but who cares it is a good overall bat.

Best Bat on the market for its price!! Bryan player

Pros: This bat for the price is outstanding. It feels great in your hands and has a nice sweet spot. The ball flies off this bat with power! I have had this bat for 4 weeks now and have used it in 5 games. I use this bat against college and semi pro level players and this bat holds its own. I have hit balls off the end and have been jammed and it still has not broke. Overall this bat compares to any of the 130$ bats out there and I will continue to buy more as back ups.

Cons: Non!!! Besides the logo is a sticker as well as the model number. But that is irrelivant.

Wow!!!!! Florida Baseball Dad parent

Pros: Best wood bat for the price. Comparable to any of the high end old hickory models for 1/3 of the price. Unbelievable performance and pop from this bat. It's also extremely durable

Cons: Non so far. We ordered a bat pack immediately after the first BP session to make sure we had spares in case the original breaks

!!!!!!!! Richardson player

Pros: Pop for sure. I got this bat yesterday and used it for a few swings for BP today and felt comfortable with it.. And in the first game I got to use it in I hit a 400ft homerun, a triple to the center field fence and a line out of the end of the bat. I am telling you this because in each of these three at bats, the ball flew off the bat like no other. Amazing pop and durability! This is coming from a player that plays on a semi-pro baseball team.

Cons: Stickers

Why are 2 of these only $130???? Justin player

Pros: Feels comparable to an Old Hickory or Marrucci, just as durable, great balance, cannot understand why these have not become a bigger deal. Bought this pack a year ago and have just barely broken the first bat. Strongly recommend this deal. Would love to see this company thrive.

Cons: I haven't gotten more

Great quality bat for an excellent price John player

Pros: I'm a collegiate baseball player and I was skeptical about this bat at first but once I started swinging with it I don't think I can use any other bat. It has great feel, slightly end loaded which is perfect in my opinion. The ball gets launched off the barrel and it seems to have good durability. Over all: solid bat and I will be buying more.

Cons: Wish the handle had more of a taper but that's a very minor point.

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Pioneer Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CTH280? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

How big is the barrel? B
The barrel of the 2016 Pioneer Maple Wood Baseball Bat: CTH280 is going to be 2 1/2" in diameter.
Cooper
Is this bat a cheap gimmick or actually a quality bat? Does it come with a warranty? Frank the tank
The 2016 Pioneer Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CTH280) is a good quality maple bat. Like most wood bats, it does not come with any type of warranty.
Patrick
No warranty? Its a shame it broke on my 2nd at bat with it. Dan
Given the nature of wood bats, if they are hit in certain areas of the bat they can break really at any time. The bats are weakest at the handle area below the taper or when hit off of the very end of the bat. Unlike alloy or composite bats, it is not that the bat will deteriorate over an extended period but that it will break if hit on the weaker spots possibly even once. Given this tendency and characteristic of wood bats, they do not come with a warranty except for a very select few models. Unfortunately, this 2016 Pioneer Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CTH280) is not a model that features such a warranty.
Patrick
Does this bat come with a cupped end? Austin
Yes, the 2016 Pioneer Maple Wood Baseball Bat (CTH280) has a cupped end.
