Tater 243 Pro — The 243 Wood Bat for Maximum Power 243 wood bat design is what the Tater 243 Pro is built on — the heaviest big barrel wood bat in our lineup. The extra-large barrel and end-loaded weight distribution put more mass further down the bat, creating the kind of swing weight that power hitters feel at contact and pitchers feel in the box score. This big barrel wood bat is not for everyone, but for the right hitter, it's the most dangerous bat we make. The thin handle is what makes the 243 baseball bat profile work as a power hitter wood bat without becoming unwieldy. With a thicker handle, the extra-large barrel would slow the swing down; the thin handle keeps the bat speed up so all that barrel mass translates into exit velocity. The traditional knob keeps the grip neutral and out of the way, which lets aggressive hitters commit fully through the zone. Why power hitters pick the 243 Pro The 243 baseball bat profile is one of the most-trusted turn families in pro baseball — the shape heavy hitters reach for when they want to commit fully to driving the ball. Tater's 243 Pro is built with the same MLB-grade billets and hand-finishing as the bats we ship to pro hitters. Family-owned since 2015, 500–1,000 bats a week out of our Cheshire, Connecticut shop, MLB supplier — that's the shop you're ordering from when you put a 243 in the cart. Maple or birch? Maple gives this big barrel wood bat the hardest hitting surface and the cleanest "pop" sound off the barrel — the most common pick for a power-hitter end loaded wood bat. Birch flexes a touch more and is more forgiving on mis-hits, which a lot of high-school and college hitters prefer. Either way, the 243 baseball bat keeps its extra-large-barrel feel and end-load weight distribution. Read more in our Maple vs Birch vs Ash guide.
