    Re: "Axe" Handle Bats

    Thanks for sharing... that is interesting...

    "Another selling point, one that went over big with MLB, is that the ax-handle forces hitters to hold the bat in a way that it hits a ball with its face grain. Extensive testing by MLB over the years has found that having balls connect with the face grain — away from the label — substantially reduces the amount of broken bats."

    I think too many players prefer to hit on the edge of the grain, rather than the flat side of the grain for this style to take hold.
    ugh, sorry for the bad pun there at the end.
