□The development idea is to aim for “hitting a strong ball with a wooden bat” The development of “SAM BAT MAPLE Youth” began with the desire to provide an environment where players who belong to a team and seriously enjoy playing baseball for children can enjoy baseball from a different approach than high-repulsion bats. In the process of continuing to play baseball through junior high school, high school, university, and professional baseball, it can be said that the bat is the one that is most required to adapt to changes in the environment. Considering that the introduction of low-repulsion bats in high school baseball has changed the requirements for batting, it has become essential for elementary school students to aim for a higher level of batting. You will learn batting skills with a wooden bat. What we focused on developing was a wooden bat that was easy for elementary school students to swing. While pursuing the strength of the maple material, development was focused on making the bat light enough for even elementary school students to swing firmly. □Four models with different lengths and weights, focusing on ease of swinging and design There are four types of models to be released this time: 30 inches (approx. 76.2 cm), 31 inches (approx. 78.74 cm), 32 inches (approx. 81.28 cm), and 33 inches (approx. 83.82 cm). All models were developed with the assumption that they would be used by players in the upper grades of elementary school, from 4th to 6th grade. 30 inches and 31 inches are assumed to be the bat sizes of upper grades used in general after-school youth baseball. 30 inches (76.2 cm) weighs approximately 510 grams, and 31 inches (78.74 cm) weighs approximately 580 grams. By hollowing out the tip of the head, the balance is slightly closer to the grip, making it both lightweight and easy to swing. This is a bat that is filled with the hope that by getting used to batting with a wooden bat, players who continue playing baseball even after entering junior high school or high school will become able to swing the ball reliably. *Due to the nature of wooden bats, the weight of the bat may vary by approximately ±20 grams from the average displayed weight.
