This bat weights 1.8 pounds and measures 32" x 2.2" x 2.2" in a -10 drop weight design. This bat is suitable for both heavy hitters and contact batters. It is recommended for players who hit between the ages of 15 and 30 because of its size and weight. The legal limit for baseball bats is 42 inches, with a maximum weight of 1 pound per inch of length. Longer bats are allowed to have smaller handles that do not weigh more than 5% of the total weight of the bat. Size 10 bats are also known as "heavy" or "super" bats. They are most commonly used by power hitters who need a lot of ball speed. Size 10 bats are usually made from maple or ash. These are the strongest types of wood available and they will not break if used properly. Some manufacturers may add glass or carbon fiber to their bats to make them lighter and more durable. These materials are not wood and so will not get damaged like an old bat will. Old bats can be recycled. Bats come in many different sizes and shapes but generally fall into one of three categories: small ball, medium ball, or large ball. There are also semi-professional and professional size balls.
