The Cold Steel Brooklyn Basher is a 24-inch, 27.6-ounce member of the Brooklyn Series of bats, a lineup Cold Steel has offered since 2006 (Cold Steel part no. CS-92BSB). Each bat is precision injection molded from the heaviest grade of high-impact polypropylene Cold Steel could find, which the company says makes it stronger and more durable than most traditional bats. It will not rot, crack, splinter or fade, it is almost impervious to the elements, and it cleans up with little more than soap and water. Cold Steel positions the series for school and league games, practice and warm-up swings, and as a crossover trainer for martial arts students building strength and hand-eye coordination. The Basher sits between the souvenir-size Brooklyn Shorty and the oversized Whopper in the range.
