Louisville Slugger WBM9271-BM M9 Maple C271 Black Matte Baseball Bat, 34-Inch/33-Ounce

The M9 series is constructed using professional-grade, handpicked maple. Maple stands out as a dense timber with greater surface hardness than ash, leading many players to believe it gives them a sizable bump in performance. Due to its close-grained timber, maple bats are less prone to barrel flaking and provide a solid feel.
