I hope you didn't axe Mr Notso Freakiniceonthefone at DeMafreakinrini Customer Dis-service

The Axe bat is specifically designed to be hit repetitively on the one side. When laying out te carbon fiber layers they are laid up in a way to take advantage of this fact.

Well JR, as long as your axing ... I figure it's around 200 but have lost count ... More important is how many people have seen my rants when Mr Notso Freakiniceonthefone could have just sent me a bat that was the correct weight instead of sitting with his rotund bottom in a swivel chair with his fungused dirty toenails resting on his cluttered desk of Chick Fil A, GagDonalds & Gagway wrappers in his dirty wesson oil stained wife beater while the ceiling fan beat time ...

In building the Axe line we wanted a design which gives the Hitter benefits throughout the entire bat (Handle to Cap). To do this we started from the beginning by asking fundamental questions about bats. For example:

What benefit(s) does a round knob give a hitter?

By asking elemental questions we began designing the only bat in the entire World which has significant and unique technologies in the handle, taper, and barrel. From here, much like the golf industry today, we frequency tuned these technologies to work together throughout the swing for the ultimate benefit of the Hitter. Regarding one sided hitting; golf club designs have to account for massive impact speeds on the face of a Driver with the same materials (Composite and/or Alloy). Has anybody ever rotated a golf club face for more durability? Of course not.

Baden Sports has specifically engineered our bats to be hit on one side for maximum performance, feel, and durability. For more information on Baden's one-sided technologies please go to:

While Baden Sports may be relatively new to the bat business, our Engineers have over 25 years of experience within the bat industry. We believe we have built a better bat. We hope you agree.
