Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the world's best maple bats.
What makes Sam Bat maple wood superior to other brands?
We use only the top 5% of prime hard maple available in North America. Our proprietary drying and manufacturing processes ensure the highest density and straightness of grain, providing the legendary 'pop' and durability that professional players demand.
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 5 weeks, plus shipping time. We also offer a selection of 'Stock Bats' that ship within 24 to 48 hours for those needing a bat immediately.
Do you offer a warranty on your wood bats?
Due to the nature of the sport, we do not offer a standard warranty on professional-grade wood bats. However, we take great pride in our quality control. If you believe your bat has a manufacturer defect, please contact our support team within 30 days of purchase for a review.
How do I determine the right bat size and weight for me?
We recommend choosing a length based on your height and a weight drop (usually -2 or -3 for adults) that allows you to maintain maximum swing speed. If you are transitioning from metal to wood, our 'Ash-like' maple models offer a more balanced feel.
Can I use my Sam Bat in professional league play?
Yes, Sam Bat is an MLB-approved manufacturer. Our bats meet all professional standards for grain straightness and the 'ink dot' test, making them legal for use in all levels of professional, semi-pro, and amateur baseball.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship our bats worldwide. International shipping rates and delivery times vary by country. Please note that customers are responsible for any local customs duties or taxes incurred upon delivery.
