Cold Steel Baseball Bat Brooklyn Crusher (92BSS), Black 29 inch

The Cold Steel Brooklyn Crusher is exactly what it claims to be: a rugged, no-nonsense bat. The solid polymer construction feels incredibly tough and well-balanced in hand. We purchased for home security and I feel more than safe knowing I have this heavy swinging bat with me. I was hesitant seeing it was polymer based and not metal nor wood, but I reassured this bat is STURDY! Would I buy again? Yes, sturdy bat at a good price

My wife and I wanted to feel more safe having a home-intruder defense option and as something to fend of aggressive animals while outside our house. While indifferent towards guns, we figured a bat would be a safer alternative with kids in the house. For traditional sport use, the 29" (33oz) Crusher is on the light-end for kids and folks with less of a build, while the 34" (39oz) Smasher covers the high end for large adults. But for a home scenario I choose the 29" regardless. By my estimation and test swings, having something longer would make it more unweidly in house corridors that would only be 3 to 4 feet wide in the first place. The weight of the smaller Crusher is relatively heavy for its size, which can be both good and bad. Remember you have to be able to swing this thing on command and with accuracy if awoken from dead sleep at 3am - no warmups or stretching allowed. It has an imitation wood grain to it and almost pitch black in color with the logo in white. The feel is unusual but not bad - just not like any bat I've held before. No grip surface - just molded material all around. As for durability, if you want to see it in action check out what appears to be a video from the manufacturer on YouTube: [...] I haven't had the desire to test it in the same way, but if the video is to be believed, they run over the thing with a truck against a curb and are still able to bend it back to normal. It does seem pretty durable just by feel and a few practice swings of my own. I can find nothing wrong with it for my use case at least. I'm sure baseball-playing reviewers can comment more on its abilities in that regard. While I hope to never have to update this review with how well it held up in a home-invasion defense story, it's at the very least, cheap and strong peace-of-mind for only $30.

It is WAY heavier than it looks. I bought it for my daughter as a home defense... I mean a softball bat. The grip is slick and grip tape is an essential $15 add-on. In hindsight, a shorter bat may have been more ideal, but it has a good reach and once it gets moving, it's going to break something... I mean hit one out of the park. The price is awesome even compared to aluminum and wood little league bats which are twice the cost. I tested it by taking a full swing at a freshly cut tree trunk. It left a huge dent without a mark on the bat and, amazingly, I didn't feel the vibration in my hands. A must for the dorm, apartment, or trunk. Remember to keep a glove and ball with it. Your lawyer will thank you.

has good weight to it

Is very heavy would be too much for child will work for self-defense good!

I bought this almost ten years ago in 2016. This bat lives invisible on the floor of my truck in between the seat rail and the center console. I have used it for all sorts of things you should never use a bat for, and it has never let me down. I have used it to break cinder blocks and cast-iron grates. I use it as a big pry bar and have hit thousands of rocks like baseballs. I use it as a hammer and to move burning logs around in a fire. This bat has some deep scratches and a few little gouges I could clean off with sandpaper. Unless I die, I'll be using it in another ten years.

Se siente sólido y pesado .

Bate de madera súper bueno para jugar me encantó

This is nice baseball crusher from cold Steel. Strony sturdy and as mentioned in description.

Muito boa a qualidade! IMPRESSIONANTE! Brooklyn Crusher. Foi extamente o que recebemos... Cold Steel esta de parabéns!!!

やっと見つけた！！ 以前は、普通の木製やら金属製のバットだとひん曲がったり、折れたりですぐダメになる…。 でもコレは折れない！本当さ！！！ いくら乱暴に叩きつけても表面がボロボロになるだけで折れる気配がない。 最近じゃ、叩いてる木の方が倒れそうww マジで最高の筋トレグッズだ！

Impressionnant au niveau rapport qualité prix Incassable et pour toute la vie même à rude épreuve Cold Steel pour ces battes sont au top

Leí algunas reseñas diciendo que es muy pesado; su peso es apenas de 1 kg. La longitud es de 73 cm y esa puede ser la razón del porqué aparenta ser pesado, ya que debido a la forma, la mayoría del peso se encuentra en la parte superior y si no has usado un bate anteriormente, se te puede ir hasta de las manos. Recomiendo que le coloquen una cinta especial antiderrapante o un cordón en el mango ya que al ser de plástico y aunque esté texturizado, se puede resbalar fácilmente. Lo único que no me gustó fue que los logos no vienen serigrafiados sino son simples calcomanías de papel laminado que probablemente se terminen despegando, raspando o borrando. Fuera de eso, la calidad es increíble.
