Built for contact hitters & metal-to-wood transitions The Tater X24 Pro is a 271 wood bat — built on the most-trusted turn model in pro baseball, with a flared knob, medium handle, and balanced feel. The bat that hitters reach for when they want to control the barrel through the zone and consistently find the gaps. 271 Turn Profile The most popular pro turn in baseball — medium barrel, medium handle, flared knob — the profile that works for every kind of contact hitter. Pure Balance Even weight distribution through the bat — quick through the zone, easy to control, perfect for hitters making the jump from metal to wood. Pro-Grade Wood Available in maple or birch — ink-dot certified, hand-split, and bone-rubbed to the same standard as the MLB player bats we ship from our Connecticut shop. ⚾ The 271 has been a fixture in pro baseball for decades. Tater builds it with the same pro-grade billets and hand-finishing we use on every MLB bat that leaves our shop. Custom build · Ships in approx. 10-14 business days. Need it sooner? Browse ready-to-ship stock bats → Tater X24 Pro — The 271 Wood Bat 271 wood bat design is the X24's foundation. The 271 is the most popular turn model in pro baseball — medium barrel, medium handle, slightly flared knob — and Tater's X24 takes that classic profile and builds it to the same pro-grade standard as the bats we ship to MLB hitters. The result is a balanced 271 baseball bat that's quick through the zone, easy to control, and built to last through a full season of serious use. The X24 is also the bat we most often recommend for hitters making the metal to wood bat transition. The medium handle and flared knob wood bat profile feel familiar to anyone coming off a BBCOR bat, and the balanced weight distribution means there's no awkward end-load to adjust to — you just pick it up and swing. Why hitters pick the X24 Pro The X24 is Tater's flagship 271 wood bat, and it's the contact hitter wood bat we ship the most of every season. Same wood, same turning logic, and same hand-finishing as the bats we cut for hitters in MLB, MiLB, and Division I college play. 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 an X24 in the cart. Maple or birch? Maple gives the X24 the hardest hitting surface and the cleanest "pop" sound off the barrel; birch flexes a touch more and is more forgiving on mis-hits, which a lot of high-school and college hitters prefer. The 271 turn keeps its balanced feel either way — pick the wood, the bat stays the same. Read more in our Maple vs Birch vs Ash guide.
