Brooklyn Smasher, Black, 34 Inch

Quality feels very good. The grip is great. It feels super sturdy and heavy when you swing it it could probably break walls size matches as described suitable for playing baseball or more.

I got this for home defense and chose this bat for it's durablitly coupled with it's light weight. It feels like it is a quality made bat that will not break and has a non slip grip feel to it. I am older and wanted the longer bat and I do like it's length and now am thinking about other shorter bats in this same brand

I like this as much as I like my firearms collection. It's a heavy sucker, but it is the right length. The surface has a texture that allows for a better grip, but a little batter's tape could also be used. It's Cold Steel, so I know the quality is there. I slapped a "townie" sticker on it, plus another from Fenway Pahhhk, and it sits on the nightstand ready to protect the homestead.

I like this bat overall. It's very solid, and I believe it's pretty much indestructable. I guess most people are like me and have this around for home protection. I think for this purpose, the bat is too big and heavy. It's just a bit too long and heavy. I'm 6/1 190 and I can tell you that if you make a swing it's one or nothing. Such a heavy bat is difficult to recover for a second swing. It's also a bit too long. In a doorway, hall, etc you're really likely to hit a wall or furniture, if there is room for a swing at all. My wife and kid, who I got this for, find the bat too large and heave for a good swing. I'll keep it for light warm up swings for softball, but I've ordered the shorter 29 inch version for home defense.

I bought this after watching a zombie movie. I am an Ash and the whole thing made sense, especially since I love a good dystopian book. My husband has fully adopted this as his primary defense. We have multiple defensive options and this is his favorite. It is heavy.

Am writing this review after 10+ years of ownership of one. I think this is an excellent product, find it more durable than a regular baseball bat. While I have hit a few baseballs at a batting cage with it, I mainly keep it by my bedside side in case there are any unexpected bumps in the night. Depending on your needs, you may want to opt for one of the shorter variations, but whatever the size, I would expect it to live up to the Cold Steel name. Would recommend this product.

I have used this bat for stretch and light rehab. I am 50 have enjoyed having a bat again. I'm not hitting yet, but I'm getting back in shape. This bat feels indestructible as described. I think it is perfect for a workout warm-up and stretching. I'm really impressed. The handle is a thicker profile than normal so my hands also get exercise. If I hit with this, batting gloves will be a must. Written by a real man, not a paid fan.

Roaring twenties are back and we all need a baseball bat. So, yes, this thing is really, really heavy. I weigh about as much as a feather on a good day and it has nearly knocked my shoulder out of joint several times. But, with some grip-tape added to the handle, this thing packs a wallop, is somewhat manageable, and I love it. Living around a city, which has taken on a new meaning in 2020 and 2021, it just pays to be vigilant and this really is a street weapon of war. Can't imagine someone recovering from any type of hit from this direct or not. Feel safer with it in the car (for an emergency game of baseball obviously), or just in the house. It isn't going to stop an attacker with a gun, but if someone is threatening you in close range this will keep them back... I assume, unless they've never seen a baseball bat before. Which poses other questions/problems. Also, if you aren't purposely trying to break this thing in half (which people in the reviews seem to be in some sort of weird competition over) it most likely will survive. I encourage people to purchase this and just see what the fuss is about. You won't be sorry.

Heavy and solid, won't break and should last a life time. Useful for practice as the weight should build a good swing.

Pretty sturdy and heavy bat, made out of wood, the labels are stickers and can be removed, very satisfied.

Se trata de un bate muy robusto, nada mas cogerlo y sentir el peso notas la calidad. Cold Steel es una empresa que fabrica excelentes artículos para entrenamiento en defensa personal y creo que este producto va encaminado hacia esa dirección. Dicho esto, en mi opinión, considero que se trata de un bate de decoración y para dar "tranquilidad" al hogar, lo digo porque su peso es considerable al estar fabricado en una especie de pasta irrompible muy dura y una sesión de bateo con el puede pasar factura al hombro. Ya depende de las necesidades de cada uno.

Resistente y de buen material y tamaño ademas te lo mandan empaquetado de forma discreta listo para usar

Nice and Solid. A bit too heavy though The weight is still manageable for a full-grown adult male, who is big sized, as me. But even then, I can't swing it that fast. It would be quite challenging for most people, since they would be smaller than me. I give it 4 stars as a melee weapon
