For over 30 years, Mizuno has been adding to their expertise in engineering the highest quality Bamboo bats around. During the 2018 season and beyond, the Bamboo Elite series gives players the edge they need every time they step up to the plate. With bamboo and glass fibers melded together in the handle and taper and then combined with a bamboo barrel create a wood bat with unparalleled durability. The handle is then sanded for a better grip while the end is cupped for improved weight distribution and faster swing speeds. With a 271 turn model, this design is recommended for both contact hitters and power hitters.
