Louisville Slugger C271 WB M9 Maple Bat, Black/Natural, 33-Inch x 14-Feet
The M9 series is constructed using professional-grade, handpicked maple. Maple stands out as a dense timber with greater surface hardness than ash, leading many players to believe it gives them a sizable bump in performance. Due to its close-grained timber, maple bats are less prone to the flaking found on barrels of ash bats. - See more at: slugger.com/bats/wood-bats/m9/m9c271bhc.aspx#sthash.qCpgKnmR.dpuf.
