Old Hickory Steel Pressed MT27

The steel-pressing process compresses the wood fibers to make the barrel denser and harder. This results in a bat that is more resistant to denting and flaking, ultimately increasing the lifespan of the wood.

While it is built to professional standards and features an MLB ink dot, it is designed for players at all levels. However, because it is a -3 drop weight, it is best suited for high school players and up who can handle the weight distribution of a standard adult bat.

The 29/32-inch handle is thinner than average, which allows for quicker hand speed and a more whip-like feel through the zone. It is a great choice if you prefer a bat that feels fast and maneuverable in your hands.

The ink dot is a quality control mark that proves the wood grain is straight enough to meet professional standards. It indicates that the bat is made from high-quality, structurally sound timber that is less likely to break on contact.

Yes, the high-gloss finish acts as a protective layer that seals the wood. It helps prevent moisture absorption and adds an extra level of surface durability against the impact of the ball.

The Old Hickory MT27 comes with a 45-day manufacturer's warranty. This covers structural defects, but keep in mind that wood bats are natural products and can break during normal play.
