This is a Japanese-made Hakusoh hardball wooden bat, primarily sold in North America. The H243 is a mid-balanced bat, but the thick barrel gives it a heavy feel, making it feel somewhat top-balanced. It's likely suitable for power hitters. It was mainly used for practice with softballs, so it's in good condition. It has SSK grip tape and a grip pad installed for easier swinging. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to scratches or scuffs.
