LV9The LV9 is the cousin to the LV271 and is one of our most balanced models to date. This model uses an ultra dense billet that provides a very hard barrel. This is a great model for players who are transitioning to wood for the first time. Wood: Maple Knob: Slight Flare Weight: Balanced Handle Thickness: Medium Barrel Size: Medium Recommended Great for players who hit for a high average and seek a balanced bat.
