Maple bats have been manufactured for some time now but have become extremely popular during the last two years.
Sugar maple (acer saccharum), sometimes called black maple, rock maple and hard rock maple, is the ideal wood for
building maple bats. All other maples are not classified as hardwoods.
The comparison of maple to ash can be simplified as follows: sugar maple is more dense wood than ash; sugar maple is
harder wood than ash; sugar maple is stonger than ash; and sugar maple is heavier than ash. we're nat aware of any
scientific testing that shows maple bats hit harder of faster than ash even though most players do believe they do. Be
sure when buying maple bats that the manufacture guarantees sugar maple and not some other variety.
It is normally accepted that professional wood is 7-8 grains per inch, which equates to under twenty grains in most bat models
The Pro Maple is offered in 13 models from 32"-35"
