Fashioned from dense Maple billets, the Select Cut M9 C243 Maple Baseball Bat offers durable surface strength and a stiff feel through the zone. The all-black M9 C243 pairs a large barrel with a thin handle, a look mirroring many modern performance bats. Its slightly endloaded swing weight targets energy into the heart of the barrel, empowering hitters to swing for extra bases. With white decals and a clear EXOPRO topcoat – the same finish applied to MLB Prime bats – the latest M9 C271 delivers a classic look at the plate.
