Louisville Slugger MLB Prime C271 Birch Wood Baseball Bat

The Louisville Slugger MLB Prime C271 Birch is built on the classic C271 handle profile using birch wood, which gives the bat a distinctly different feel from maple — slightly more flexible at contact, which some hitters find more natural and comfortable. The contact zone is very tight, making this a demanding bat that holds hitters to a high standard of barrel control. Low durability, as expected with any natural wood bat, limits it to quality game and practice use. Balanced swing weight keeps the feel natural without demanding extreme lower-half commitment.
