C243 Northern Maple - KR3 Wood Bat

The Northern Maple C243 pattern features a standard knob and thin handle with a large barrel. Ideal for power hitters looking for a more top-heavy bat with a larger sweet spot. As per requests from Independent Pro and Collegiate Equipment Managers the C243 handle has been slightly thickened just enough to increase durability. For custom orders including standard handle thickness option please visit our custom page or call our plant.

All of our hard maple billets are Hand Split by North America’s best quality producers to the highest baseball bat standards and from second growth forests being regenerated each year. Our Northern Maple grade bats are vacuum dried and turned at low speeds from only the finest quality split stock and straight grain to increase both the hardness and maple effect. Maple will not flex as much on impact as ash, driving the ball farther. At our plant every billet is hand sorted and graded to standards that have been used within our factory for over 100 years. Bats are Double Boned for Max Hardness and Hand Sanded for the best balance. Finest Pro Grade with the Best Pop. Our Double Bone Rub process makes the hitting surface 7-10% harder allowing the hitter to drive the ball even farther.
