While it has evolved, two models that are long standing favorites (and that are super hot right now!) are the MMO and the KB1.    Here’s the breakdown:   The MMO is similar to the classic M110 profile made famous by Micky Mantle and Roger Maris.  A perfect all-around bat, the MMO has a nice long barrel hitting surface, but is still incredibly well balanced with a medium 15/16” handle and classic rounded knob. We recommend it to all types of players from youth who are just transitioning to wood, all the way up...
