Cold Steel Brooklyn Smasher, Black, 34 Inch

Bought as a starter tool for getting into 1- and 2-handed heavy club swinging for exercise c/o Mark Wildman's youtube videos. 3.5lbs is a surprising amount of weight when it's a 3 foot long lever. Great for mobility, conditioning tendons&ligaments, and practicing technique without risking injury. At higher levels of training, the aforementioned coach does attack/defend drills with Cold Steel bats vs live machetes and depends on its durability to keep his students safe- it can stop a hacking blade, over and over, thousands of times. And also stop your back pain. Probably not very good for actual baseball.

Perfect bat its durability unmatched

I haven't bashed anything yet, but I love this bat! It's longer and heavier than I expected and felt unwieldy at first, but after a week of flipping and swinging it around, it feels comfortable and powerful. Makes for a great exercise tool when things don't need smashing.

This is not a piece of sports equipment. This is a weapon and should not be purchased for children! I bought this because buying a bat that doesn't break on the first day is not an easy accomplishment without spending lots of money. My son is a weekend warrior and wanted to learn how to play baseball. I had purchased aluminum and wood bats in the past but they either broke or bent. I thought this bat sounded like the answer. It wasn't. Even a grown man would have to be the hulk to use this as a baseball bat. I ended up forking out the extra money for an expensive bat after seeing the look on my sons face as he tried to swing this seconds after the ball had already passed! Put it by your bed as protection and it's worth the money!

Now I know that swinging around 2.5 pounds of plastic is hard. I have newfound respect for the people in the past who wielded such heavy swords with such grace.The bat has a satisfying weight, well-balanced and ideal for swinging at anything, bamboo or otherwise. It even dents hardwood! It proves effective against opponents heavily armored against piercing but vulnerable to impact, haha!A great survival tool if you're in an area where guns and sharp objects are banned, like in California, New York or Canada.(in any woke place fml)If not, it's an excellent choice for honing your forearm strength and combat skills.

If you are even thinking about buying one of these - grab at least one before the price goes up. I'm in Texas. Hitting people with things is frowned upon here. The only thing besides brass knuckles we can't carry is a "Club", a striking weapon. So of course, I wanted one. Not illegal to own, just illegal to carry with intent. And besides - It's a baseball bat. Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie, & Chevrolet. And if I hear a bump in the night - I'm not grabbing this or any other bat/club/hammer. My pump shotgun isn't that much heavier than these bats. That said - These are Awesome! And as many people have said - they are a LOT heavier than you'd think. Quickly getting back into place for strike two may be a bit of struggle. But I in no way think this this was a stupid waste of my money, even though that's exactly what they were ( on sale - I bought two). I'd rate them as pretty dangerous for cosplay. And I've VERY glad I picked the Brooklyn Smasher over any of the other models. Awesome. Highly Recommend for no good reason. "Because".

I returned the one I ordered only because it was too heavy for my small frame to wield..but it is a good bat.

cheap and reliable. it'll last, and it's a looker, got the biggest one as a taller guy and it was the right pick. BUY TODAY!
