★★★★★So rewarding to see the bat being made. To feel the balance, weight and feel throughout the process while Josh changes the bat to my requirements is incredibly gratifying.
Bat Making Experience, verified buyer
★★★★★Having his own bat personally crafted in front of us was one of the best experiences we have had. Smelling the wood, watching the precision craftsmanship and seeing our boy's face afterwards made for a day that will stay with us.
Custom bat, verified buyer
★★★★★He really got a lot out of watching his bat get made and the process. It was a real experience, so much better than going to a shop and getting one over the counter.
