    I see Old Hickory has Birch you can get steel pressed. Would love to see how it stacks up against the compressed birch from American Batsmith. Any chance you guys would put both brand’s compressed birch MT27 models in a head to head video?

    Hey quick question! My team is doing a wood bat tournament and we have wood bats so I don't want to spend money on a bat for one tournament. I always watch your videos but sometimes like with wood bats I don't really pay attention to the actual bat as much as just watching you guys hit with it. I would use a 110 turn model right? Also what is an i13? Any suggestions would be awesome! Just a really light swinging bat thanks!

    In all fairness to both bats. Each Bat has its place at the top depending the type of hitter you are.. The old Hickory seems to be easy swinging, durable, contact hitter's bat with great gap power.. The Bat smith seems to be a more power hitter's type of bat. can't go wrong with either.
    If you had a group of Non Donkey contact hitters. the Old Hickory wins.
