Powerwood K-3 Youth League

My oldest son just turned 12 a couple of weeks ago and my younger son will be 10 in November. I wanted a training weight bat the boys can hit with down in the basement over the upcoming winters. I bought one of the MaDougal youth bats in 31" length. We have several other wood bats, including some ash bats from Rawlings and a maple from Phoenix.

The MacDougal is a masterpiece of construction and design. It is barrel heavy and a hunk of engineered lumber for sure. The finish on the barrel was applied flawlessly and is hard as a rock so far.

My 12 year old has been hitting with it off the tee and a couple of nights ago we took it to the ball park and hit soft toss with it. Additionally I hit fungo with it to the boys.

I noticed it had a little vibration and audible buzz if I hit the ball too far out near the end of the bat, where it is hollowed out. When I hit the ball on the barrel where I should be hitting it the response was a loud and pleasing crack and the ball jumped solidly off the bat.

My oldest son hit great shots with it during soft toss and had no complaints with it at all.

I'd sure like to see the woodshop the MacDougal boys have set up, because the joinery on this bat is simply amazing. It's cool. And really good so far. Nice job, MacDougal!!!

Shipped and received quickly. Packaged very well and my 9 yo son has enjoyed hitting with it during BP for 2 weeks now. The sound is great to me hearing the crack of wood instead of composite. We play in a wood bat only tournament at the end of July so he is looking forward to using it that weekend. Thanks for a quality american made bat!

That title is a direct quote from our little league player. He appreciated the way the bat handled and so did several of his teammates. This bat generates sharply hit balls from players which was why our son loved it so much. As a parent I appreciate the solid construction and balance of this bat. We will be a repeat client!

Son lives the bat. Ball comes off nice

My son loves his.

After months of research , and many people's opinions....I ordered my son's 28" bat. It finally arrived , 1st thing out of the box is ..WOW. What a sweet looking bat. After a few days of patiently waitong...he finally got to hit with it. Now he won't put it down (even for him much more expensive Mako Beast). Highly recommended these bats. Great quality and amazing preformance.

9 year old really likes this bat. Oversll whole transaction from ordering, shipping and product were great. Will continue to do business with yall.

First, this is a beautiful bat. Everyone who holds it admires the workmanship.

But most importantly, my 11 year old loves it. It's heavier than the bat he was swinging before, but he quickly got used to it. It's now his favorite bat, and he loves to show it off at the batting cages.

He can't wait to try it out this season.

Purchased the K3 power wood bat for my 10 year old. He absolutely loves the bat! He only takes BP with it. No other sound likes well hit wood bat! Since Christmas he's put 2,000 cuts in and the bat looks great!

I did a lot a research before i bought the powerwood K-3 bat for my son. We just started using it and it is as advertised. My son is 10 and we bought a 29" that is about 24oz. I'm 6' and 220lb and took a few hacks with it. It took all the punishment i could give it. It might just be unbreakable. I look forward to him using in game this season.

Thanks
Mr. Jackson

Still breaking it in but starting to notice how the ball flies off the bat when it's struck on the sweet spot beautiful bat all around

After spending months of reviewing this bat online (and talking myself into it) I decided to message MacDougall to ask some questions. John called me that same morning and it was like speaking to an old friend. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and after that, my decision was made. I placed the order and within less than 1 week, my son's new Doogie was on my front porch in Alabama. Let me start off by saying "Wow!". This bat is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship is unmatched by anyone in my opinion and the bat we received looked just like the one displayed online. We brought this bat to a practice game the same day and all the boys (8u) were looking at the bat saying "That's not a wooden bat, it's a metal bat. Look how shiny it is." After I corrected the the kids, I started to hear our coaches chatter about how wood is no good and why we shouldn't be using it. I've been hearing these same stories for years and I told them "We'll see". When my son go up to bat, he barely swung and the ball sailed through the air. I knew then that I made the right decision. The next night at practice, my son started to put more power behind his swing and then you heard that glorious sound..... POP! ...to the fence! Our season is now over but we will be practicing a lot during the off season. I look forward to next year to see my son bust the threads off those balls and to prove all those people wrong about how metal/composite is king and wood should not be used. Thanks again John for taking the time to speak with me on a personal level. You have gained a repeat customer and I have been bragging non stop to all my baseball buddies since buying this bat.

This bay is hot,hot,got. My son was hitting the ball as far as he does with his Easton. Not only does it preform great it looks awesome too!

My son Adam 8 yrs old at the time 4yrs ago wanted a Wood Bat he broke 2 in less than 2 weeks.. I saw these MacDougal Bats at our local batting cage . I called Mac Dougal Bats, John answered I asked if he could make a 29" bat with a 2 1/4" barrel he said yes. Adam and all his team mates have used that bat Over the last 4 years it has never been broken. Adam Loves that bat. Adam wanted a bigger bat, he bought a new MacDougal Bat, the K-3. He and his team mates have hit thousands of Baseballs at practice. Adam says its AWESOME

The bat is AWESOME! We've been practicing with it so he'll be strong enough to use it during the season. The quality, fit & finish is better than expected. I wish I had a MacDougall when I was a kid!

John made my son the first 2.25" bat last summer as a gift. It's an amazing bat, tons of pop, and he used it for both travel ball and Little League. The added weight and low MOI has made him a stronger hitter, without a doubt. No chipping or breakage at all.
