Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the world's best maple bats.
What makes SAM BAT maple different from other wood bats?
SAM BAT was the first to introduce maple to professional baseball. We use only the highest grade professional maple, which is denser and harder than ash, providing more pop and better durability.
How long does it take to receive a custom bat order?
Custom bats are handcrafted to your exact specifications. Current production time is typically 3 to 4 weeks, plus shipping time to your location.
Do you offer a warranty on your wood bats?
Due to the nature of the sport, wood bats do not come with a standard warranty. However, if you believe your bat has a manufacturing defect, please contact our customer service team within 30 days of purchase for a review.
How do I choose the right bat model for my swing?
We offer a variety of turn models ranging from balanced to end-loaded. We recommend checking our Size Guide or contacting our specialists to match a bat to your hitting style and experience level.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, SAM BAT ships worldwide. International shipping rates and duties are calculated at checkout based on your specific country and order weight.
What is the 'Cup' option on the end of the bat?
Cupping involves hollowing out the end of the barrel. This removes weight from the end of the bat, allowing for a more balanced swing weight and better control without sacrificing barrel size.
