How we grade

Mark	Grade	What it means	Where you'll find it
PRIME	Prime	Our best wood. A long run of straight grain through the handle (20" or more), no open knots where your hands go, and nothing bigger than a pin knot in the barrel. The wood we'd turn our own game bats from.	Maple, birch and ash billets · the ink-dot upgrade on unfinished bats
A	A grade	Solid playing wood at a friendlier price. If there's a flaw, it's usually down under the hands; above them, the grain runs straight into the taper.	Our unfinished bats
B	B grade	Paint grade. Every B billet turns a full-size bat with no big holes or voids, but we make no promise on the grain. Expect some color or a wandering grain line.	Maple and birch billets in boxes of 6 · heavy billets · painted, practice, youth and display bats

A grade is our call on how the finished bat should come out, not a guarantee. Wood is a natural material, and how a billet turns is up to whoever's at the lathe. More on grading

Pulled, not picked
