Grade Four bats often have more than half the blade made up of red wood or prominent natural “butterfly” staining. They’re made from good quality willow and perform well, but typically have fewer grains and more pronounced knots, blemishes, and specks. Many Grade Four bats feature bleached willow, which makes marks less obvious and gives the blade a cleaner appearance.
Please note that these are typical characteristics. While we work closely with our partner brands to provide the best bats for you, we are unable to guarantee a specific number of grains or the overall appearance of the willow on individual bats.
