The Model 43 is a medium handle (.93”), large barrel (2.56”) bat. The thick barrel doesn’t start to narrow until well down the barrel, leaving a lot of wood for solid contact and power on a long portion of the barrel. Sometimes a little vibration is felt on contact towards the lower part of the barrel. There’s a lot of wood on the 43 that makes it feel barrel-heavy. Control and good bat speed would be an issue if the batter’s strength weren’t there. The 43 is a good choice for a power hitter, or a versatile, stronger batter who can hit to all fields with authority and prefers a medium handle.

This bat is made of Hard Maple.
