FAQs

Is it legal?

Rayline Baseball Bats are one-piece wood bats, and have been formally approved to play in leagues using the USABat® Standard. These leagues generally include:

  • Little League Baseball®
  • Babe Ruth Baseball® / Cal Ripken Baseball®
  • PONY Baseball®
  • and others

We are pursuing other formal approval where appropriate. Ultimately, eligibility depends on the specific league, tournament, and governing body, so players should confirm their local rules before game use.

Isn't it bad to hit the ball on the same side of the bat every time?

Not with a wood bat. Wood bats need to strike the ball with optimal grain orientation to prevent breaking, and maximize exit velocity. With a traditional, round bat this limits you to only two sides at maximum.

However, many players are taught to swing with the bat label always facing them, which means they are only hitting on one side of the bat already.

Some confusion comes from new and popular composite bats, which do not have an orientation requirement, and benefit from a uniform "break-in" all around the bat.

What if I want to choke up?

Tough. Life is full of compromises.

Does a custom molded handle affect the weight of the bat?

No. Computer models direct use to select an appropriate wood density so that your bat comes out the weight you want it.

Does a custom molded handle affect the balance of the bat?

Yes. Adding material to the handle area will make the bat feel more balanced.

What is the warranty?
