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. ⚾️
So far so good. My team has only used the bat a couple of times in the batting cage, but the response from the players has been that they all love it. Easy to swing and good pop. The finish on the bat is outstanding.
Thanks J. Glad to hear the boys are loving it and doin' work!
Last year I had the youth power wood and really liked it. I’ve gotten bigger and stronger so I moved onto this bat. I love the feel and pop that comes from the bat. With the season starting soon, I can’t wait to use it in a game.
Thanks for the great feeback Jake! We love our return customers. We hope you have a great season. Make your new M-14 sing! ⚾⚾⚾
I bought this bat for my 12 year old son for Christmas. First off, the bat is beautiful, detailed and polished. Secondly, we actually hit it today (1/7/24) and it pops like a metal BBCOR bat. Best thing of all, he is super proud of it and is showing all his buddies. Although, I don’t play ball anymore, I remember the confidence good gear will give you, especially when trying to make HS teams. His confidence brings back old times. Great bat, great shipping. Trust me, you’ll love it.
Thanks for taking the time Brandon! We appreciate it. We hope your son has a lot of success in baseball. Enjoy.
An absolutely gorgeous, well made bat! Top quality and customization is an awesome touch. It’ll be a shame to mark it up….🤓
Thanks Jason! Go ahead and mark it up. That's the fun part! ⚾⚾⚾
Craftsmanship is second to none! Can’t wait until my son uses it after Christmas!!
