The Tater® Torpedo Wood Bat is built for advanced hitters who want better barrel control without giving up power. The Torpedo Bat loads more wood mass into the sweet spot while shifting weight closer to the hands. The result is a balanced-feel bat with faster swing speeds and a more controlled whip through the zone. Hand-built in the USA in pro-grade maple.
WHAT MAKES THE TATER® TORPEDO WOOD BAT DIFFERENT
The Torpedo profile reshapes how bat mass is distributed. Traditional wood bats push weight out toward the barrel end. The Torpedo concentrates mass into the sweet spot itself — the area where most contact actually happens. That redistribution lets hitters keep the bat speed of a balanced-feel build while delivering the pop of a heavier barrel.
The end of the Torpedo tapers off. Outside pitches are harder to square up because of that taper. But if you have a clean, repeatable swing, this is one of the most rewarding wood bats in the lineup. It rakes.
WHY WE RECOMMEND THE -2 DROP
The Torpedo's mass redistribution gives it a slightly lighter wood density than a standard turn profile. To reduce break risk, we recommend swinging the Torpedo in a Drop 2 (the heavier option). Drop 3 is available, but Drop 2 will get you more durability through a full season.

WHO SHOULD SWING THE TORPEDO
The Torpedo is built for advanced hitters who already know their swing path. The unique mass distribution rewards clean, repeatable mechanics. It's not a forgiving bat for hitters still learning to find the barrel consistently. If you're a contact hitter or middle-of-the-order bat who lives in the sweet spot, this is the build to try. New to wood? Start with our Tater-X12 PRO contact-hitter model instead, then graduate to the Torpedo once your swing is locked in.
