Ripken Quickbat
Price: $14 (Ripken Quickball)
Size: 30″
Construction: 1 piece; injection molded plastic; hard plastic
Pros: Excellent pop and distance. Great feel, well built. Six “quickballs” are included (they are a smaller, harder version of the ‘all holes ball‘)
Cons: As far as performance goes, this bat is stacked. The major con is the length. At 30″, you’ll have to be a magician to hit a good pitcher. This bat has major upside in the “modifications” department.
Grade: B (Only because of length, it’s certainly an A if it’s a bit longer)
Any idea what size dowel would fit in the handle of this bat? I just ordered mine and am going to modify it. I’m gonna try and basically make a GTSOH bat but with this barrel. Thanks in advance.
Casey did a GTSOH on it. I’m in California right now, your best bet is to email casey@sahdwiffle.com and ask him for the details. I haven’t seen it in person yet, but I saw a picture. It looks good.
Thanks, I’ll shoot him an email.
I’m the person who asked about the C271 I just looked at the video of he ripken bat and it lookes amazing. I went to the website and saw it for a great price. I’,m definately ordering it. I also waant a C271 but I can wait. If you can reply when you get the C271 in stock and I’ll try ordering. If it wasn’t for you guys I couldn’t have all this info on wiffle ball bats THANKS A LOT!!
We are actually not a dealer of the bats. We got ours from the link we have that points to Amazon. I have contacted Louisville, however, and they’re supposed to let me know what’s up with the limited availability. I’ll keep you posted when I know.
Thanks a lot
How would you make a bat handle if your making the quickbat into a gtsoh bat?
Shoot an email to casey@sahdwiffle.com He’ll set you straight. I don’t do the modding, but he made the bat you’re asking about.
I found another bat on amazon because I couldn’t find the quick ball/bat. The bat is called BSN Polybat, it look very similar.
