Wood-Bat League Players Seeking Pro-Stock Northern White Ash and Hard Maple Bats Turn to Carolina Clubs for Custom Wood Bats Handcrafted in Upstate New York
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla., April 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Carolina Clubs has published its 2013 collection of pro-model wood baseball bats online at www.carolinaclubs.com. The family-owned business is recognized as a leading manufacturer of high-grade northern white ash and hard maple baseball bats, which are handmade in upstate New York and harvested from locally and regionally sourced timber.
In addition, the veteran wooden-bat manufacturing company announced that hitting instructors, professional baseball bat dealers, sporting goods stores and wood-bat league players can now manage their accounts online and choose from a wide selection of customizable pro-stock finished wood-bat packages ready for immediate shipping.
"We are proud to offer our 2013 assortment of custom wood bats, which includes a popular lineup of ash and maple wood models now available for purchase online," said Kevin Lane, co-owner and President of Carolina Clubs. "This year's featured pro-model bats and customizable packages have been receiving tremendous feedback from ball players, coaches and resellers alike."
"Carolina Clubs wood baseball bats rival the best and most popular wood bats on the market today," asserted Myles A. Runsdorf, President of Sales and Marketing at Player's Edge Baseball Academy, a 20,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art training facility and pro shop in Boca Raton, Fla. "Their sleek look, balance and overall feel are a must for the serious ballplayer seeking an edge when choosing one wood bat over another."
Every maple and ash bat produced by Carolina Clubs progresses through the company's two fully operational production facilities. "It all starts with our time-tested wood bat-making process, which begins at our mill in Upstate New York," noted Lane. "Carolina Clubs is one of very few U.S. wood bat manufacturers that controls the bat-making process from standing timber through finished bat."
Carolina Clubs' production facility is located in Esperance, just south of Charleston Four Corners, in Montgomery County, N.Y., and approximately 40 miles east of Cooperstown, home of the National Baseball Hall of Fame. This northern New York region is rich in baseball history and acknowledged by many major league baseball professionals for producing the highest-grade white ash and hard maple bats.
White ash wood bats offer reliable quality at an affordable price, while hard maple bats are a little more expensive and have greater strength and durability, so they last longer than bats made from other types of wood. Both of these woods are very popular among major league players. Carolina Clubs offers the most popular pro-model bats in both white ash and hard maple, also known as rock maple or sugar maple, allowing players to order custom pro-stock wood baseball bats that match their own preferences and specifications.
The company's new state-of-the-art website allows customers to browse the complete 2013 collection of pro-model wood bats and order online. Players who wish to see and handle the bats before purchasing can find Carolina Clubs baseball bats at select retail stores and training facilities throughout the country. Organizations interested in placing larger orders of 12 or more bats — including resellers, hitting academies, coaches and wood-bat leagues — can refer to the company's online portfolio. Co-owners Kevin Lane and Karen Lane, Vice President of Marketing at Carolina Clubs, will work directly with customers to develop packages that address their unique needs and budget.
"Karen and Kevin are wonderful to work with," praised Ed O'Dwyer, co-owner of the Albuquerque Baseball Academy in central New Mexico. "Every player on our High School Showcase Teams has a Carolina Clubs bat in their equipment bag. Performance and dependability … that's what you get with every swing using a Carolina Clubs bat." O'Dwyer's academy supports individual training and developmental teams from 9U and up through high school.
