Baseball Equipment
« Thread Started on Mar 17, 2009, 8:34am »

Can anyone point me in the direction of a website in the USA that will ship baseball equipment to Australia? In particular bats.

Cheers

I have used Eastbay.com and found them to be excellent. One of the bats i recently bought my son before Xmas (Demarini CF3 32/24) cracked after the 2nd time he used it and i sent it back (at their cost) and they replaced it within 2 weeks no questions asked.

They have an excellent range and i find them cheaper than the local baseball equipment supplier.

Word of warning though: the freight costs pretty much the same if you buy a pair of batting gloves or you load up on apparell, shoes etc so if you are going to order place a big one!!!

I believe "deebs" is also importing wood bats (from a source in England???)
perhaps a 'forum' entry under WBC might get his immediate attention?

Yes, definately Ebay is the way to go, but make sure you spend a bit of time watching, I bought 6 bats for my kids and friends and we saved at least $200 on each bat. But as thewholetruth said the dollars has dropped a lot but still worth a go. All bats purchased from the US made it to Aus in 6 days.

Ever thought of going into Fielders Choice or K2 and asking them what bats they can get in or what deal they can do for?

kc will be posting up photos of the composite bat i am selling it is called the Magnum composite, so stay tuned, it will include models and sizes, i only have a few in stock but will have 100 at the end of april happy to take orders they are $210, i have a cheaper version but they dont hold up like this bat, ben risinger said it is the best bat he has ever swung he calls it the trampoline bat.

Kr3 Custom Bats

Maple Magnum

The All Wood Bat of the Future which has been tested in Canadian College labs and has been the focus of our R&D department for over 5 years. The design is a high density core made from our best Hi-Impact Timber, surrounded by 4 outer layers of our White Rock Maple with the grain alignment laminated accurately into position to ensure maximum durability. The bat is further strengthened with fiberglass biaxial sleeving applied with a rock resin epoxy and top coated with our Soft Touch Sure Grip coating. For a bat that not only lasts but remains solid and strong. Outstanding quality every time.

I'm lookin for a wood bat around the $100 mark but can't make it to waverly on thursday so i had a look at ausports range and there's a quite a few to choose from. Has anyone used the Proline m110 rock maple composite b4. It's around my budget for a bat and wondering how it performs. Don't need something great just a bat that will last. Any other bats around the price range with a tapered handle preferably with 1 inch handle that you could suggest.

btw great job with the aussie team deebs

Hey deebs. Got any of the composites (either one C271 or P72) in 33"/30oz? Looks like you only got them in 34 and 33.5?

make sure that whoever purchases these bats spread the word because they must be OK, as Ben had some pretty good touches of the ball nad the stuff that deebs is bringing in is not garbage. Support the local champ, as f/c, ausport, k2, are starting to sting as at the register ...
