Ward Dill says his new Radial Bat can make youth sports safer by doing away with aluminum bats. He says with his bat, shattered wood would no longer be an issue in the major leagues.
Dill says he created the bat by combining 12 wedges of wood with adhesive and clamping pressure. He guarantees the bats for one year, promising to replace or fix any bat that cracks.
The cost of a maple Radial Bat for an adult is $150, $20 more expensive than an ash model. The youth models run $120 and $100, with the maple again being more expensive.
