Yellow Birch and Hard Maple
Our baseball bats are made of two types of wood : yellow birch and hard maple.
Yellow birch, provincial tree of Quebec, is an appropriate type of wood for the manufacture of bats. Also called “Merisier” in Quebec, this tight-grained hardwood combines hardness and flexibility. According to impact bending strength tests conducted by forestry labs , yellow birch offers the perfect impact resistance for a baseball bat.
Hard Maple, Canada's arboreal emblem, is used to make baseball bats since the early 90’s, while improved techniques for drying wood have yielded lighter billets. This very tight-grained hardwood combines hardness and stiffness. Compared with yellow birch, maple's hardness is 15% higher. Maple is the most popular wood species for baseball bats.
