After being pressured into buying 2 bats from this one man show of a company by the apparent owner, I was treated like a nuisance when I simply inquired as to the shipping status of my order after 3 weeks had passed. Additionally my credit card was charged in full when I placed the order ($175) - the bats where finally shipped over a month later. I had ordered the bats to have a unfinished handle and black mat (dull) finish barrel, when I received them the handle was a high gloss black and the barrel was a high gloss clear urethane. More about the customer service after the product quality section..trust me it gets real bad.

M^Powered Baseball, quality baseball equipment

I just wanted to share my experiences with M^Powered Baseball, and my purchases in the past. I was playing Professional Baseball in Arizona when I met the Owner Mark, who was a very nice guy, very honest and transparent. I liked the way his bats felt and looked so I decided to try a couple of them. Not only did they last me throughout the season, but my teammates bought them also because of how well I was playing with them. After I signed with another team, I continued to use M^Powered Bats throughout the Minor Leagues. They are quickly becoming popular, reliable, and great altogether. I just read what the other guy wrote and shook my head. First of all, its only a baseball bat, and whether your a Professional Baseball Player, like me, or an Amateur, like yourself, you should understand that bats break. It's the Indian, not the arrow!

M Powered Bats, my gamers!

I, and several of my teamates, have used M Powered bats over the last several years.
I have had several swings where the bat did not have pop... can you believe user error was the cause? Yes!
I have also had many swings where the ball effortlessly flies off the barrel of the bat. User and bat squaring up with the ball!
Have I had bats break? Sure, jammed or off the end of the bat, not bat failure due to faulty wood!
Indents? Heck yea! Means I squared up and put some meat into the swing!
Buy more bats? Yep! Not since early last year though because my gamer is still in use!
Good swings everybody and less sour grapes.

I use M Powered bats and love them. I have never hit better since I started using the bats. I have found the M Powered team and their customer service to be top notch. In fact, I know tons of players who feel the same way as me.

It takes all kinds in life and this Harold Holden of Greer South Carolina takes the cake. Mr. Greer contacted our company to make 2 baseball bats; one birch and one maple. He asserts pressure, what pressure?? He contacted our company unsolicited, that is the first untruth. His custom order was placed with our company on May 12th, at which time I actually took the production. We value small orders and large orders alike. We custom made his two bats of major league approved wood less the ink dot we apply for mlb and milb clients. The turn around time on bats can range from 2 to 5 weeks depending on the time of the year. This was fully explained to Mr. Holden by me. And yes, we charge a cc in full for every custom order, this is customary in the business, not out of the ordinary. And yes we shipped in 4 weeks, again not out of the ordinary during any time of the year. And yes we use the highest quality North American billets in the business. We are an approved professional bat seller and have scores of mlb and milb clients. Every wood bat will have indenture marks from balls, especially ones with artificially raised seams. Take a look at any bat, they all have this reaction from striking a baseball. So this comment is nothing new for baseball players who swing wood; both amateur and professional. "maple bat had zero pop" is a ridiculous comment. Mr Holden also emailed me and said it "did not work", a ridiculous comment. Mr. Holden may need batting instruction as we hit and analyzed each bat and his comments were completely off base and not applicable. The flat spot could have been from Mr Holden striking a fence post, as this type of surface abrasion is rarely seen from striking a baseball. In fact we allege that Mr Holden is a chronic complainer based on what we have seen and find all his allegations baseless and without merit. Lastly, MAPLE does not flake, only ash flakes. There is no such phenomena in the baseball bat world.
We have sent Mr. Holdens bats back as they are his property. They worked fine and Mr Holden should also know that wood is a natural product and breaks down in time. We found that both bats were used extensively as evidenced by the ball marks and ink marks on each bat.
Lastly, we believe that our company has done nothing wrong whatsoever. We took Mr Holdens order in good faith and executed as promised.
We take his negative comments very serious and have again found his allegations as baseless. Should our counsel decide Mr Holden is intentionally attempting to damage the good name of our hi growth company, we will take appropriate legal action
