“It’s
unbelievable. We’re seeing eight to 10 bats break every game. Guys are coming
back saying they hit the ball on the sweet spot and it still broke.” This quote
caught our President, Lynn C. Thompson’s attention. It’s from an article in the
Los Angeles Times describing how frequently baseball bats break and nearly
injure the players in major league games. The article chronicled the debate
currently raging among players over which bat is better, those made of ash,
which is lighter and slightly flexible, or those made of maple which is heavier
and stiffer. As he read, Lynn began to suspect there might be a market for a
baseball bat that just couldn’t be broken. What kid, let alone an adult,
wouldn’t want an unbreakable bat? Now Cold Steel is proud to offer you our first
foray into the manufacturing of athletic equipment, the Brooklyn Smasher.
Because it’s precision injection molded out of the heaviest grade of
polypropylene we could find, the Brooklyn Smasher just can’t be broken. There’s
no need to worry about shards of wood flying in your face. No matter what you
hit or how hard you swing it just won’t break. And its durable too, it won’t
rot, crack, or splinter, or even fade. You can treat it as roughly as you
choose. You needn’t worry about dirt or the weather affecting it either since
it’s impervious to the elements and cleans up with soap and water. Try that with
a wood bat and you might damage it. It’s versatile too. The Brooklyn Smasher,
like any other baseball bat, croquet mallet, golf club or hockey stick can be
used in an emergency, as an extremely effective self defense tool. You can keep
it behind the front door, under the bed, or in a car trunk and forget about it
until you need it. It can be used as a game bat, practice bat, warm-up bat,
loaner bat, inclement weather bat, school or league bat or kid’s bat. It can
also serve as a cross over trainer to develop strength, agility and eye hand
coordination for those studying Western Saber Fencing, Kendo, Kenjitsu, Filipino
stick and Sword Fighting and Chinese martial arts. Best of all, it makes good
economic sense. With a suggested retail price of $45 it’s comparable in price to
a good wooden bat, and since it’s unbreakable it will last far longer than any
wooden bat on the market.
