The J7H has quickly become one of the most popular models in the game today. The J7H has a long barrel with great balance and a huge sweet spot, a medium handle and a flared knob. It is turned from rock maple, cut to a -3 target weight and sold in adult baseball lengths from 31 to 34 inches, including half sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe J7H Profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel: medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: medium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKnob: flared\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeel: balanced\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStock finish: burnt orange barrel, black handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe J7H is a balanced bat that does not give up barrel. The long barrel and the large sweet spot give plenty of hitting surface, while the medium handle keeps the balance point back so the bat stays easy to control. The flared knob gives the bottom hand a firm stop. It is a good fit for a hitter who wants forgiveness and control in the same bat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Steel Pressed Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteel Pressed is Old Hickory's proprietary process for its pro stock bats. The rock maple is compressed and compacted with steel, which tightens the wood grain and produces a dramatically harder, more durable wood bat than an untreated billet. A harder, more durable bat holds up longer to batting practice and game use. The J7H is one of Old Hickory's stock models in the Steel Pressed finish, and Old Hickory backs every Steel Pressed bat with a 60-day warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSizes and Target Weights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery Old Hickory Steel Pressed stock bat is cut to a -3 target weight, which means the weight in ounces is three less than the length in inches. The J7H comes in 31, 32, 32.5, 33, 33.5 and 34 inch lengths, so hitters between sizes can order a half inch:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e31 inch, 28 ounce target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32 inch, 29 ounce target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e32.5 inch, 29.5 ounce target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33 inch, 30 ounce target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e33.5 inch, 30.5 ounce target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e34 inch, 31 ounce target\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe easiest way to choose is to match the length of the bat the hitter swings now.
