Over a year (40+ games) on the bat playing twilight baseball, no issues hits great.
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!
Bat looks great. My son love it and the pop it has when hit the ball. Thanks for making a great bat.
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! ⚾⚾
Amazing, amazing, amazing!! Absolutely best purchase I’ve made in awhile, the detail and craftsmanship are top notch!
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.⚾⚾⚾
This is a great bat that my son loves. I purchased a bigger size (31 -3) and he loves it. The engraving of his name on the bat was the icing on the cake. I look forward how this bat will provide him with a tool to develop elite batting skills.
Thanks so much Cedric. Glad to hear 'EZ$' is enjoying his new bat. Have a great season!
it is a well made bat and has already lasted longer then the Marucci ones my son was using. Interested to see if we need to use the 1 year breakage guarantee. It is an extremely well made bat!
Thanks Mark! I'm not surprised. There is a 97% chance you won't have to use the warranty. Shoot, it might go for 9 years like at least one guy we know of. Have fun with it. ⚾️
