The JC24 is arguably the most well balanced and most durable bat we produce, constructed similarly to the C271, but thicker in areas essential to keeping a wood bat in one piece. The slightly flared knob provides a comfortable resting spot for your bottom hand. If you're making the transition from metal bats to wood bats, the JC24 is for you- even better for contact hitters who consistently drive the ball deep in the gaps. All Pro Reserve bats feature our ProPACT finish. Knob: Slight flare Handle: Medium Barrel: Medium Feel: Balanced Wood: Maple Weight Drop: Approx. -3 Big League-grade ink dot certified
