F.A.Q.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What size bat should I order?

Length: Any length from 30''-34''

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).

What types of wood are Tater bats made from?

Tater wood bats are made from top-grade maple and birch. Each type of wood offers unique benefits in terms of hardness, flexibility, and performance.

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.

.

Do not hit Cage-Style Dimpled Baseballs

Do not store bat in a car, garage, or areas exposed to heat or extreme conditions, as this can cause the wood to expand, contract, or crack.

Keep the bat away from excessive moisture, which can cause the wood to swell or warp.

Do not modify or sand the handle of the bat.

Do not strike the ball where the Tater logo shows – ball markings on logo will void warranty.

Failure to adhere to the Hitting Guidelines will automatically void your replacement guarantee.

why are bats cupped at the end?

An integral part of the bat, a quality cup is essential. Our handcrafted cupping allows for cups of different depths, altering the weight and feel of the bat.

Our process allows the bat to be more durable and exponentially decrease the risk of chips and cracks.
