    Chandler bats

    Chandler is being used by a lot of MLB Hamiliton being the biggest name if u order a few they are around 115 a piece. The ball jumps off the maple like no other wood bats that I have seen they have moved from Greensbo to Pennsylvania

    bats

    I do like east coast bats, can't go wrong with those. But if you're looking for a quality selection of Louisville Slugger and Rawlings, try Grand Slam USA in Matthews. I usually get mine from them and cannot complain about the friendly service as well. Many bats to choose from so I'd recommend Grand Slam.

    East Coast Bats

    I've been dealing with Derek for 3-4 years for my sons bats and they have all been quality bats. I have seen his operation and you can tell it is a passion of his to turn out quality bats. I know you can go to all of the local batting centers and retail outlets to by the big names, but how about helping the local guys break into the game!

    I have used East Coast for 5 years or more.
    Derek is timely in production, always good to deal with, and his bats hold up.
    UNluckily for him, I didn't even have to order this season because what I had from last year held up so well without breaking! ( 10 last year and I had 9 left. Not one broke this season in cage work/BP.)
    The kids love the color options too - some royal and orange for us at times.

    Give the guy a try!
