The Model 99 is a small to medium handle (.92”), large barrel (2.56”) bat. While the 99 is barrel-heavy, it is easy to swing, control, and get good bat speed. For a large barrel bat, the 99 feels fast. Contact is solid all along the barrel. The 99 barrel thins pretty quickly, but it doesn’t thin too much so as to cause vibrations. It has plenty of wood on the barrel to hit with authority. A good choice for either a contact or power hitter who likes a thinner handle, larger barrel bat.
