I've hit with many wood bats but the Pro B-MD99 is by far the best bat I have ever you had. It's perfectly balanced and just holding it feels like a gapper or a home run. I've had several team mates pick it up because it looks interesting with the large knob and then immediately tell me how great it feels in their hands and ask me where I got it. Bat speed through the zone is incredible and the ball JUMPS off the bat. And if you like the sound of a wood bat you will LOVE the MD99. It sounds like a gun shot when you barrel a ball up and everyone in or around the cages or the ballpark will definitely take notice! I can't say enough about the Pro B-MD99 , it's just a great bat !!!!
