ENTER: Composite Bats;
One of my Fave Flips. Here’s WHY
1.) They’re expensive.

DROP
Notice a negative number in the listings? (ie -10)
The Bat’s “Drop”
Length(inches) - Weight(ounces)
This will need to be noted in your listing, probably in the title
(Barrel diameter (2 3/4”) may also be listed. Rule of thumb: take good pics of barrel and numbers)

Essentially different leagues have different requirements
You DONT really need to know this
Just fit it in your pictures, description, and even the title
Coaches/Parents MAY search by this or ask about it
