Best wood composite baseball ever!!!

I have my Baum bat for sale. Enough said! This bat blows the Baum away by 1000%. Most juiced wood composite bat ever.

Enough said, indeed - Thanks Scott. While we are proud of the Gamer's performance, it is still subject to BBCOR spec, so we believe the bat's swing/feel help hitters find theirs at the plate. It's the pilot, more than the plane. :)

First off the bat was shipped and arrived in a very timely manner. For me that’s much appreciated as my son broke his wood bat the week prior. We were starting summer select ball so time wasn’t on our side. He liked the feel of the bat from the get go. He hit a three run home run the first game off of our first tournament. It swings lite and doesn’t have negative feedback on the hands. So the company did their job and the bat is as advertised.

Delano Bat Company has really stepped up to the plate! I have ordered a total of 3 bats (not all for myself). The one I had ordered was a 32, and I wasn't happy with it. DBC stepped up and sent me another one right away. This bat feels SO much better! Thank you so much!!

Awesome bat

Customer service was excellent. My 16 yr old son thought the Baum bat was okay but wasn’t crazy about it. While watching bat bros on YouTube they were testing out the Delano Gamer. I never heard of it. They gave Just from a visual in a video the large barrel, similar to the Combat, was appealing. My grandson mostly swings a 33” and sometimes a 32”. We ordered a 32” thinking it may be a tad heavy. The bat arrived in a few days. My grandson is rather picky but likes what he likes. He absolutely loved the bat. He liked the thickness of the handle. Not too thick or too thin. The bat had a lot of pop and was even good on miss hits. He said the bat felt balanced and said it felt lighter than expected. He loves the bat and if it holds up we would definitely recommend it.

I play in a senior men’s baseball league and am 56 years old. I love the bat. It has a very large forgiving sweet spot. Lots of pop. And end loaded, easy to swing, with increased bat velocity. I assume it will not break easy as it is made from strong composite wood and carbon. Highly recommended the bat! The bat Bros gave a great review on utube.

Thank you Dr. John - appreciate the review and the helpful description of the swing feel.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Balanced bat, giant sweet spot, worth the marginal cost difference.

Purchased an Original Gamer for my 14U son for PG wood bat tournaments this summer. He had been using a LS RA13 Composite, but it was a too long, so got the right size in the Delano. Used it in one PG tournament so far and the bat performed great. It has a nice, balanced swing that matches his Atlas metal bat. The barrel shows no signs of wear after multiple cage sessions and games. Also not experiencing any sting like you get with real wood and other composite bats.

I was skeptical about the reviews and even more at dropping $350+ on a wood bat. However once it arrived, I started to swing it exclusively. After finishing a Memorial Day tournament, it will be the only bat I pull out of my bag.

Awesome bat and even better customer service!!

First, the customer service is awesome! Placed my order, paid for 2 day shipping, and received it the next day.

Now on to the bat. This bat is legit! It is hot, the barrel is huge and everyone on my son's team wants to use it. If you are on the fence about buying it, do it now!

Great Bat!

My son practices with a Baum Bat and took such a liking to the sound/feel of hitting with wood that he wanted to use the Baum during Babe Ruth games instead of using a metal bat. This began a search for a wooden bat that would offer what he liked about the Baum, but which would perform better in games where there tend to be more varied contact points. In our experience, the barrel of the Delano Gamer is more forgiving than the Baum, and is a better choice for use in games. The sound on a well-struck ball is sooooo satisfying, and the performance seems quite similar to many top metal BBCOR offerings. Shipping was fast. It's a little early, but durability seems great so far... no cracks, nothing beyond normal impact stains/scratches. Very happy so far and would definitely recommend. Only suggestion would be perhaps additional grip options when ordering.

The Delano BBCOR has been outstanding so far one of the easiest bats I’ve swung to find the barrel consistently. The balance is spot on, so it never feels heavy or overpowering, especially for someone newer to BBCOR. Mishits are really forgiving, and the sweet spot feels big compared to a lot of other bats in this category. It has a smooth, clean feel through the zone with solid pop. Overall, it’s a great blend of control and performance that builds confidence at the plate.

Honestly from talking with Delano bat company to purchasing two Gamer 34” wood bats. Was amazing. But the real
Testament was the first swing , homerun dead center . The feel was unreal - just clean pop . Now I didn’t take it in the cage or even hit anything of the tee just used it straight in the game. It’s definitely end loaded but with the barrel design it still feels great in the hands. Easy to get into the zone and let the big dog eat.

Delano replaces XBat

I broke my regular bat during a recent tournament. A teammate had a Delano 34/31 which he let me try. The results were so good that I did not re-order my original bat but instead ordered from Delano. I have yet to use the new one in a game although everyone at practice couldn't wait to check it out after watching me take BP.
