*Condition (Please Note)*
- Used by my son for 2 years in youth baseball. There is significant wear on the tip and grip end, and the paint is peeling (please check photos).
- There is a crack approximately 1cm x 1cm on the red surface cover in the sweet spot of the bat. *Please check photos.*
(We used it without any issues, but it's possible it may peel off over time.)
- Please consider this as a used item and understand its condition.
- The grip tape was replaced not too long ago and should be usable for a while as is (wrapped for a right-handed batter).
[Father's Casual Thoughts from Watching Youth Baseball Up Close]
Apparently, there are two types of Beyond bats: middle balance and top balance. Power hitters with strength who aim for home runs tend to prefer top balance or Beyond Legend, while those who focus on producing medium-range hits are suited for this middle balance. This middle balance seemed to suit my slender son, and he was happy to produce hits with its appropriate repulsion, sending the ball to left-center and right-center fields. Also, the red color apparently looks cool to children.
If you're hesitant to buy a new Beyond bat for nearly 40,000 yen, but would like to try one, or if you're considering a backup bat for your team, please consider this item.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
