Swingability How fast the barrel gets through the zone. Higher means a lighter, quicker swing.

Forgiveness How well mishits hold up. Higher means a more consistent result off the sweet spot.
4.5

AP5HD Baseball Bat Stats:

Barrel The diameter of the barrel at its widest point. A bigger barrel means a bigger hitting surface and more mass out front. 2.35"
Handle The diameter of the handle. A thinner handle whips through faster; a thicker one dampens sting and feels more stable. 0.96"
Knob The shape at the bottom of the bat. It sets how the bat sits in your bottom hand and how much it resists slipping. Traditional
Weight The finished weight of this model, as turned. Wood is a natural material, so expect small variation bat to bat. Drop 2
Swing feel How the weight is distributed along the bat — balanced through end-loaded — which is what you actually feel in the swing. High Density
Best for The hitter this model was designed around. Pure Power

About this bat

THE DETAILS

About The AP5HD Wood Baseball Bat:

Like its big brother, the AP5 Pro Model wood baseball bat, the AP5HD is a well balanced power hitter's bat. It features the same flared knob and handle diameter (just under 1") and the long barrel that players love in the AP5 model. The only difference is the AP5 HD barrel diameter is just a tad smaller to enable us to add some additional durability to this model.

All HD wooden bat models are crafted from the same high quality maple and birch woods as our other standard and pro wood bat models. To gain extra durability without sacrificing pop, the tweaked barrel is offset by the wood being denser (ie. harder). Denser wood = a stronger bat and more energy transferred to the ball. Goodbye, Mr. Baseball...hello, home run trot! Drive it over the wall with the AP5HD wood baseball bat.

Typical user:

  • 3, 4, 5-hole hitter in the line-up
  • Power hitter wants more balance in his bat
  • Likes AP5 but wants extra durability so gives up some barrel
