The Tater-U238 model is very similar to the Tater-J21. However, this model has a longer barrel giving it a slight end-loaded feel. U-Knobs are great for players who take a lot of swings and want to avoid a hamate issues, blisters, or bruises on the bottom palm area of their bottom hand.

The longer barrel and flared knob combination is perfect for power and gap hitters looking for maximum whip while being able to manipulate the barrel fairly easy.

Other Details

: Maple has been dominating the batters box for the last 20+ years. Maple is the most used wood species in the pros. It is the most dense of the three wood bats and strongest all around.
However, since maple doesn't have much give or flex - more energy is transferred upon impact at the plate.
The downside to using maple is that the "sweet spot" is smaller than other woods and it is not as forgiving as other wood species on a miss hit. Since there is little to no flex hitters who drive ball off end of the bat or hitters who don't like to crowd the plate may want to look towards Birch or Ash as a better option.
Birch is known to be the best of both worlds when compared to maple and ash. It has been becoming increasingly popular among players of all age groups.
It has similar density properties as maple yet has more flex and is more forgiving on miss hits.
This is especially a great option for new players to wood who do not want to pass up durability for performance and also suitable for players who are playing up a division or age

: Length: Any length from 30''-34.5''
Weight: Any weight from -3 to +2
Drop weight is the difference between bat length and weight. To determine a bat’s weight in ounces, take the drop weight number and subtract/add it from the bat length. For example, a -3 drop weight means that a 34" bat weighs 31 ounces (34 -3 = 31).
