I’ve broken so many wood bats this year from popular companies claiming to have the “hardest bats to break” and macdougell has by far lasted the longest, as well as has amazing weight distribution
Thanks Jasper! The record (that I know of anyway) is 9 years. Bad for business! 😅
I recently purchased a Powerwood K-3 Youth Wood Baseball Bat for my youngest son. My oldest already has a MacDougal Wood bat of his own and has used it for three years running and so my youngest needed one of his own. He has not put this bat down since he got it three weeks ago. At each practice, he pulls his wood bat out when everyone else pulls out their aluminum or metal bats and you can tell the difference just in the sound itself, let alone the pop this bat has. We plan to have him use the bat in games as well since we don't see a competitive different between this bat and metal bats other kids use. Great product!
Thanks Becky! Nice to see a 'family tradition'. 😀 Enjoy baseball with your kids! ⚾⚾⚾
My son received his new bat and so far has really enjoyed it. Well balanced, lots of pop, great customer service.
Thans a ton David! Enjoy. ⚾⚾⚾
Purchased for my son - he's been hitting with it for three weeks so far. Hits hard, sounds great and looks amazing! Great trainer, but almost as much pop as his Warstic - Bonesaber (confirmed exit velocity comparison).
Cheers William! Many thousands of hits to come! ⚾⚾⚾
This bat looks like a nice piece of furniture, it’s really beautifully made!
My son dislikes the weird feel of a Baum bat and wanted a more durable option to regular wood, so we gave this a try. So far he says it feels like a solid wood bat on contact, and makes a great sound. The pop seems to be great. There even seems to be a sweet spot within the sweet spot that really launches ball when he gets ahold of it just right. Really enjoying it so far!
Thanks Ryan! There's nothing like real (tough) wood! Enjoy!
Received my bat after the repair. Can confirm the pop still has its pop.
Thanks Kevin!
Thank you for such a great product! Very unique bat, awesome pop and incredible sound. Absolutely beautiful. My son played with it for the fall season. Looks even cooler with pine tar👍👍
Thanks so much Brent. We hope your son has a ton of fun with it! ⚾
Got this bat for my son and it exceeded my high expectations. It's the first time he's used a wood bat. And hearing that unmistakable sound when making contact is most satisfying! Highest quality and well worth the investment.
Thanks Craig! I hope Aidan make a lot of 'music' with it! ⚾️
I haven’t had a chance to hit a pitch with it, but I know it will be a satisfying experience when I do. The bat is an exquisite sculpture and a thing of beauty woven of hickory and walnut. It’s exactly what I ordered and I love every aspect of it.
Thank you so much for the kind words Ted. Now get out there and make that baby sing! 😅⚾️
Hits solid, beautiful, wonderfully balanced.
Thaks so much Chico! Enjoy!
The only thing better than the quality and craftsmanship of this bat is the customer service that goes along with purchasing it. Will be a customer for life! Will be in touch when we're ready to level up next. Thank you!
Thanks so much George. We do our best!
Son using the bat for summer ball. Able to fight off inside pitches for base hits. Walnut barrel is easy to swing. Also got his 1st HR which is posted on YouTube. Highly recommend the powerwood M balance bat.
Thanks Quincy! Glad to hear he's making it sing! Nice first pitch dinger too! ⚾⚾⚾
Purchased this bat for my 17yr old son playing I'm a wood bat league thus summer and let me tell you this piece of machinery did not disappoint
Thanks Garnell. I recongnize Vince Genna Stadium there!
My kiddo absolutely loves his wood bat. He even swears he has more pop using it than his metal bat! Definitely will recommend.
Thanks Kenneth! And your kiddo is probably right! ⚾⚾⚾
So I caught the baseball bug later in life while practicing with my son. Having a bat that gives me confidence in my adult league is a game changer. I practice a lot and have quite a few hits low on the barrel and no signs of any damage. This bat is not overly punishing on the hands either when I do this.
Also the lower swing weight of the new Hickory/Walnut helps keep me inside a little more. When I do barrel this thing up it’s the best feeling ever.
Great product and great company . I’ve met the owners and they’re just great people that really love this game.
Thanks for taking the time Jason! We appreciate the feedback. It's gonna be a great year!! ⚾⚾⚾
These are great bats , very well made.
I would definitely buy another.

Thanks for taking the time Scott! Odds are though, you'll never need to buy another. Unless it's a different size or color!
This bat is so incredibly comfortable in your hands and the fact that you can order 1/2 sizes make it the perfect weapon in your arsenal. Oh, and it looks amazing next to all the other ugly stepsisters in the castle. If you haven't already, you owe it to yourself to give this bat a swing!
Thanks Garrick! Now you can go Beast Mode Beautifully! ⚾⚾⚾
Barrel is an inch smaller than most bats I'm used to the bat just seems small overall I love the handle but hit a few balls hard and don't have the pop I'm looking for I'm hoping it gets better as the season progresses beautiful bat though
Thanks for the feedback Jeff. Due to the stiffness of our bats, which is the key to it's durability and performance, they have a different feel/feedback on contact that can take a while to get used to. The pop is there, but maybe not the perception of it at the beginning. Keep swingin'!
Give this bat a try, I promise you will love it!
Thanks Shelby! Have a great season!
Wood bats have always been a staple in our house. My son has had his MacDougall wood bat for almost a year now and like most players they are protective about their equipment. Especially when it comes to their little sister, but where there’s a will there is a way. She would borrow his bat and sneak out to the batting cage. Well no more borrowing big brothers bat. She requested her own bat and Lego can say no to that. Lawren Green 11U - E1 Prospects Lubbock TX, Brady Green 13U Grind Baseball Academy Lubbock TX.
Thanks Lawren! Glad you've got your own now. Make it sing!
I bought both of my grandsons a MacDougall power wool bat each, one is 11 years old and the other is 6 years old. We absolutely love them, they are everything the company claims them to be. Solid, powerful strength and design. I had them customized with their names, color preference and grip styles. We noticed considerable improvement in their performance and overall power. Thank you MacDougall for an amazing product.
Thank YOU Ernest! Enjoy baseball with Ivan and Zeke. It goes by quick!
I bought this bat (32/29 Balanced) for my 13u player, and to say that he loves it would be an understatement. The contact is astonishing and he can drive the ball as well with this bat as with his composite BB core.
Having played extensively myself, I can say that the few swings I have taken have so far exceeded my expectations that, even though I don’t play competitively any more, I will be buying one of these bats for myself to do tee work with.
Before buying from MacDougall, I looked at and hit with many of the top brands, but at the end of the day, this bat outperformed all of them.
MacDougall family, you have earned life long customers, and we will be back every year for our wood bat needs.
If you’re considering a MacDougall bat, the only negative is that you haven’t ordered one yet. You won’t regret it. It’s the best made bat we have ever swung.
Thanks so much for the great feedback Timothy. You made our day! This is what makes it all worth it. We hope your son has a great year! ⚾⚾⚾

I’m a 65 year old left handed ER Doc who’s played baseball all my life. I play in the MSBL (men’s senior baseball league) in the SF Bay Area. Last year I won the batting title hitting .524
So I know something about bats and fine surgical instruments. The bat arrived two weeks ago and our league starts its season in 10 days. So my review is based on batting practice only.
This bat is a sexy beast. Form, fit, and finish are excellent. Well balanced and a pleasure to hold.
My teammates loved how it looked and the story behind it. As previous reviewers have stated the ball leaps off the bat with no vibration even when you take one near the hands.
The sound of the ball screaming off the bat is hard to describe, let’s just say it gives your baseball soul a sh*t eating grin.
I’ll add to this after a few live games and add some pics..
You get your moneys worth with this company and more.
Wow, thanks so much David, we appreciate it. We also look forward to seeing more of your literary talents! Have fun out there! ⚾⚾
I have the black and natural bat and I absolutely love this bat however I am sad that the softball left marks from hitting the ball. lol The bat is almost too pretty to hit the softball.
On a serious note this bat is awesome
LOL. Thanks Felipe! Glad to hear you're lovin' it. BTW, the super tough finish we use on the barrels lasts forever, but it does tend to show ball marks. This is because on contact, it is 'grippy' to the ball. Big plus for performance, not so much for aesthetics.⚾⚾⚾
