New Standards for High School Baseball Bats Starting in 2024 Proedge Hardball Metal Bat "Beatflight ST" The successor to the Skybeat series, a staple in high school baseball. The Beatflight series is focused on sound. With its high-pitched specifications, it achieves a refreshing hitting sound. The WF shape, with a narrowed head, reduces the balance on the tip, making it easier to swing. Regarding the 2024 Bat Standards To ensure player safety, the standards will suppress the bat's repulsive force, resulting in what is known as a "non-flying bat." While maintaining a total weight of 900g or more, the maximum diameter of the hitting area will be changed from 67mm to 64mm. This requires a thicker design for the hitting area than before, and the reduction in flex will suppress the repulsive force. (A thinner hitting area flexes more and allows the ball to travel further.) Material: Super Duralumin (X220) Balance: Middle Balance Product Specifications: Color: Silver x Black Maximum Diameter: φ64mm 84cm - 900g or more
