Delano Bat CompanyReviews of delanobats.com

After a few weeks with the Delano Original Glory, Jax absolutely loves it. The bat feels balanced, swings fast through the zone, and still has enough barrel weight to drive the baseball. The biggest thing we've noticed is how consistently it performs on both hard line drives and mishits. The craftsmanship and finish are top-notch, and it's quickly become his favorite wood bat. Great product and highly recommended. We loved this bat so much we purchased the new colorway (Original Glory) as well.

I got a 34” and it has a lot of pop. My first AB I hit a hard liner to the first baseman and ripped his glove, I wish I was recording at the time. But it definitely feels lighter than a regular maple 34” would feel and the sweet spot is huge. I’ll definitely be buying another if I brake this one. I also let some veterans in an adult league use it and they’re considering getting one for themselves.

Got my bat at the beginning of March 2026. I am a former professional player 1994-2000. Noticed how the ball jumps off the barrel a little harder than with a standard wood bat. The barrel is huge! Hit a hard line drive off the end and broke the handle. Had a replacement by the end of the week. Awesome customer service. Three of my teammates have already ordered their own. This bat is legit.

Got a taste of swinging the 33/30 in a Memorial Day Weekend tourney and it rocked! Excellent EV, umpire said I murdered that ball! Been using it the past 2 weekends, crushed one on a line past the left fielder to the fence for a standup double. Even got a hit off the end of the bat. Very forgiving and the big barrel helps fighting off good pitches. Definitely feels like I’m swinging a metal composite bat. Not having any trouble recommending to my teammates, as it’s speaking for itself. I’m hooked!

Adult League Baseball. Negatives: slightly end loaded. I'm 5'10, 210lbs and lift on the regular. I choke up on the 33in model because it can be a little hard to manage through the zone. It would be tough for an untrained younger player to rip it and maintain barrel consistency. Positives: the grip is very comfortable,(with a slightly flared knob) but gave out in the first week. It's seen heavy t-work, 3 short cage sessions and 2 games- no structural issues. The sweet spot is enormous with great pop. I do think it is getting hotter with more swings, but have no numerical data to back it up. My other gamer was a Baum bat and it's not close to the Delano. Again, not close... The Baum might have the smallest sweet spot of any bat on the market and will ring your hands up if you cast the barrel. The Delano seems to absorb everything and takes miss hits as good or better than any wood or composite bat I've owned. The sound of the Crack is a slightly higher register than a true Maple, but is still very rewarding and not noticeable to anyone other than the user going back and forth between each bat. The size of the Delano's sweet spot separates it from everything else. I do think its worth the cost if it holds up for multiple seasons. I have watched the BatBros videos and concede there might be bats with slightly higher (2-3 mph) exit velocities. But having a sweet spot twice as big as the next closest competitor far exceeds the difference in exit speeds. Not to mention the barrel diameter is the max legal limit. $400 is hard to justify for a lot of folks, but if you're "all in" and looking for the best wood bat on the market...this is the gold standard. Last thing.. it is a little awkward looking because of the size of, and writing on, the barrel. Makes it look like a wood softball bat. They need to produce a two-tone model with a natural handle and black barrel to hide the size of the thing a little. Hope this helps. An Honest grownup.

I play in a men’s league, for years I’ve used the muzuno sugardaddy 243. Went to Atl for a tournament and teammate had this bat, I’ve heard about it and he let me use it. The ball exploded off the bat!! I bought on online right there, shipping was fast, got it just before a league game. Second at bat I hit a bomb! Highly recommend this bat!!

Excellent bat and excellent customer service. We were at a tournament and needed a replacement bat and they shipped it within 24hrs. No other company would have done that. A+++++

Super impressive bat! We hear it might be banned. Can you give us some feedback maybe clarify on what we are hearing?
