Overview
Not an alloy or composite bat, the Rawlings Big Stick Elite is a pro grade maple wood bat with an end loaded swing and a large barrel profile. A cupped end, thin handle and flame treated finish round it out.
Hard maple and an end loaded feel give power hitters a wood bat with a large sweet spot. Length, weight and warranty are missing from the listing, which matters for sizing a bat.
Who it's for
Older youth, high school and adult players who want an end loaded maple bat for wood bat leagues or training will like it. Contact hitters who prefer a balanced swing should look at a lighter loaded model.
Pros and cons
- Hard pro grade maple
- Large barrel profile and sweet spot
- Ink dot tested straight grain
- Cupped end trims weight
- Length and weight not listed
- End loaded feel slows some swings
- Wood can break on mishits
Performance notes
Power comes from the end loaded weight and the hard maple surface, which transfers energy on square contact. The cupped end removes some mass to keep swing speed up. Straight grain wood holds up better, but inside pitches off the handle can still crack a wood bat.
