Description

Mattingly Baseball is the one and only bat company to offer the V-Grip handle system. The V-Grip technology is the concept and design of Yankee Great, Don Mattingly and is specifically designed to keep the knocking knuckles aligned and shift the bat away from the palm and into the fingers—forcing your grip to be in perfect alignment every time. Additionally, the V-Grip keeps the bat from turning in the hands during the swing. Crafted from the highest quality Canadian Rock Maple and Appalachian White Ash billets, Mattingly Baseball's own V-Grip technology aligns the grain perfectly for a solid hit every time. The billets were hand-selected by Certified National Hardwood Lumber Association Inspectors. Free Shipping!

The kid who bats better than you

Pros: V-Grip technology helps keep your hands properly lined on the bat. I think, comparing this to metal, that wood bats create such a solid hit that it is unbeilievably! All you do is make contact with the ball and BAMM!!! Home Run! And they're only selling it for $40.

Cons: Heavy, have to adapt to weight, but it's worth it

The kid who bats better than you

Pros: If you don't buy this bat, your stupid. For those who have not tried mattingly bats your missing out. Buy it. Just because the price is low doesn't mean it's cheap. Good bat.

Cons: none

Pros: Great Bat - We used it mostly for BB and training. He used a Mattingly V-grip Ripped for game play. This is still his favorite bat, reminds him to watch his hand placement.

Cons:

Chipper

Pros: I bought this bat form my 9 year old to use at the batting cages and for practice. I like how it lines up his knuckles and that I don't have to worry about him damaging his game bat.

Cons: It is a very heavy bat, compared to the bat he uses in games, but as long as he only uses in during practice he's been good.

Pros: Ball jumps off this bat better than any solid wood bats I have seen. My son will use this over any BBCORE bat out there. 2 1/4 barrel gives you a larger hitting surface as well as adds to the bat speed.

Cons: Gloss paint on handle is slippery. Recomend tape or scuff sand.
