Follow these steps to get your hands on a Phoenix...
1. Start by choosing your model...


Phoenix Bats founder Charley
Trudeau explains 3 of the most
popular models.
Shape is a combination of barrel size & taper - do you want a bat with a long straight barrel and a quick taper to a thin handle? Do you want a bigger bat and a flared knob?
Use the menu below to see and read up on each Phoenix Pro model to understand the shape, taper, and weight factors. If that leaves you uncertain, call us or send an email and ask for help.
Choose from the model list above to review product details. Look for differences in barrel taper, knob, and end-weighting. Length is a personal preference. Depending on the model chosen the weight will vary, usually somewhere between -2 and -3 drop. (The weight will be length - drop.).
2. Now choose your wood...

Phoenix has a reputation for being the pickiest of bat manufacturers - rejecting wood others will accept. They take their lumber seriously. All bats are available in either Rock Maple and Northern White Ash, and there are differences. The chart shows pros and cons.
A rule of thumb: if you tend to take the ball off the end of the bat, go with an ash bat If you get jammed often (hitting the ball off the handle), go with a maple bat.
Also Rock Maple bats are preferred by more pros and provide additional pop off the bat. White Ash bats feature a larger sweet spot, and lower price point.
The basic selection below is for ash. To upgrade to maple, make sure to check that option.
3. Then place your order...
Once you decide from the choices above, set your chosen model number in the order form below. (
You can order multiple bats with different specs in the same order.)
Choose from the Phoenix color palette.
Barrel will have a gloss topcoat, no charge. Gloss on the handle is an option - not recommended if you use pine tar.
Due to variations in computer settings, stain lots, and wood grain, colors may vary from those shown here or listed above.
