About The KRD4 Youth Wood Bat:
The KRD4 uses the same barrel profile of our very K271 but has a different handle and knob. The handle and knob come from Team Phoenix's Pro Player advisory board member Ronnie Dawson of the Astros. This handle and knob has a medium flare to it and is designed to provide comfort in your bottom hand and take away some of the stress and compression that comes from swinging a baseball bat. The KRD4 youth bat is perfect for all youth hitters who are wanting a professional players bat model, but in something they can swing with confidence!
