The B271 Premium is a balanced bat, making it easy to control the barrel. This is a great model for players new to swinging wood, as its swing weight is very light. The barrel is small, and that allows us to use a more dense piece of wood. Combine the control and whip created by hitters swinging the B271 Premium with the dense wood and youll see balls exploding off the bat. Hitters, dont shy away from smaller barrels, youd be surprised how many big league hitters swing this model.
