Great Bat!
My son practices with a Baum Bat and took such a liking to the sound/feel of hitting with wood that he wanted to use the Baum during Babe Ruth games instead of using a metal bat. This began a search for a wooden bat that would offer what he liked about the Baum, but which would perform better in games where there tend to be more varied contact points. In our experience, the barrel of the Delano Gamer is more forgiving than the Baum, and is a better choice for use in games. The sound on a well-struck ball is sooooo satisfying, and the performance seems quite similar to many top metal BBCOR offerings. Shipping was fast. It's a little early, but durability seems great so far... no cracks, nothing beyond normal impact stains/scratches. Very happy so far and would definitely recommend. Only suggestion would be perhaps additional grip options when ordering.

Andy - thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback, especially the constructive advice on grips. We hope your son rakes this season. Best,
