It pairs a large barrel and a 3 to 5 inch sweet spot with a medium handle, so hitters who want more mass behind the ball get it without giving up control. The FT23 is made from CamWood's Pro Grade Beech and comes in adult baseball sizes from 31 to 34 inches, including half-inch lengths, at a -3 drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe FT23 Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnob:\u003c\/strong\u003e tapered, for a more comfortable bottom hand feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e medium, for a balanced feel with a large barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel:\u003c\/strong\u003e large, with a 3 to 5 inch sweet spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeel:\u003c\/strong\u003e semi end-loaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSemi End-Loaded for Extra Power\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FT23 carries a little more of its weight toward the barrel than a balanced bat. That extra mass behind the ball helps stronger hitters drive it with authority and keeps the bat moving through the zone on contact. The medium handle and tapered knob keep the bat from feeling clubby, so it still handles inside pitches. Hitters who already generate good bat speed and want more carry are the natural fit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Pro Grade Beech Brings to a Wood Bat\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeech is a dense, hard wood that has become a serious alternative to maple and birch for game bats. CamWood's Pro Grade Beech billets are graded to a slope of grain of 3 percent or less, which means the grain runs nearly straight down the length of the bat. Straight grain is the single biggest factor in how long a wood bat lasts, because a bat with grain that runs off the edge is far more likely to break on a jam shot. The hard surface also gives a firm, lively feel at contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurability:\u003c\/strong\u003e straight grain and a hard surface stand up to a full season of batting practice and games\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePop:\u003c\/strong\u003e dense wood gives a solid, responsive feel off the barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eForgiveness:\u003c\/strong\u003e a generous 3 to 5 inch sweet spot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best performance, hit with the logo facing up toward you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCupped End and Two-Tone Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery CamWood stock game bat comes with a cupped end, which removes a small amount of wood from the end of the barrel to bring the balance point slightly toward the hands. The finish is black on the barrel with a natural handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho the CamWood FT23 Pro Grade Beech Wood Baseball Bat Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FT23 suits high school, college and adult baseball hitters with strength and bat speed who want a large barrel and a semi end-loaded swing weight. It is also a natural step up for players moving from metal to wood who want a barrel that feels substantial. Hitters who prefer a lighter, more balanced swing should look at the RA13 or the Torpedo instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePair It With a CamWood Trainer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCamWood trainers are sized to match the game bat, so the work done in practice translates directly.
