Description

The BWP Pro Select maple wood BB73 is one of the best selling BWP wood bats - and for good reason. The BB73 has a 15/16 inch handle ending in a large flared knob that provides counterbalance to its large 2 1/2 inch barrel. The result is uncommon balance and a very high level of swing control. The BB73 practically swings itself. Because of its large barrel design, the BB73 also has a nice sized sweet spot. All BWP bats have excellent durability, because BWP is a truly unique wood bat manufacturer. The location, state of the art manufacturing processes, and strict attention to detail enables them to provide the highest quality of wood bats available to the marketplace. BWP is located in the heartland of Pennsylvania, which is known as the hardwood capital of the world. Only the finest hardwood trees are processed into bats. Billets that do not meet these criteria are manufactured into other commercial products, such as furniture. Over 150 professional players are currently working with BWP. Feel the difference for yourself. BWP: Serious Bats for Serious Players! Free Shipping!

Pros: Love the flare at the bottom. The balance of this bat is like none other. Ball really jumps off this bat. Bought 2 last summer. One lasted through August and will be using #2 this summer. Bought 1 for BP and it finally broke after 2 winters in the cage, and summer BP on the field.

Coach Blair

Pros: I have used a number of wood bats over the years and the BWP73 flared knob bat is by far in my opinion the best wood bat on the market. This bat is so well balanced and with the bat control the flared knob offers it practically swings itself. This bat has tons of pop with an extended sweet spot and has a great sound! You try this bat and you won't go back to what you are swinging now. Easy on the wallet as well, can almost get 2 for the price you pay for 1 Marruci or Old Hickory.

Cons: Absolutely none

BWP 73 bobreaker34 player

Pros: Good overall bat. Large sweet spot for the feel of good hard contact. Good gradual taper to large flared knob. Thick handle and durable. Well balanced. For the price it's fair for what you get out of it.

Cons: Breaks when you hit it on the handle or very end of bat! But, most every wood bat will eventually.
