ANDERSON BAT PRICE GUIDE

1746081.jpg

Modeled after the Demarini Price Guide put together by snacks, I present to you the Anderson Bat Price Guide. Thanks to softballfans.com for the bat reviews. Thanks to Roo, jaj23 and louisianasoftball22 for their knowledge. An extra special thanks to NotoriousSports for answering all my never-ending questions and inquiries. Finally, a huge shout out to Steven Anderson of Anderson Bat Company for first allowing me to publish this guide, and second, helping to ensure that the information contained herein is accurate.

  • This guide is in no way affiliated with Anderson Bat Company, but all of the professional images, logos and accompanying text (unless noted otherwise) came from Anderson Bat sources, and are the copyrighted and trademarked property of Anderson Bat Company. They are reprinted here with the expressed permission of the Anderson Bat Company, LLC., and should not be reused or copied without written permission from Anderson.

  • Please keep in mind this is a work in progress! If you don't see a bat you're looking for, just let me know! If you have a clear photo of it, send that, as well.

  • Please note that this guide is meant to reflect prices for bats sold here on the boards at SBF, and nowhere else, most notably, eBay. When I say that a NIW 2008 PryoTech is valued at $90 to $100, I'm saying that if John Doe has one of these bats and wants to know what it's worth, I can tell him that if he sold it here on SBF, he could expect to get approximately $90 to $100. I'm NOT saying that this is a dealer price, nor am I saying that there are places (online or otherwise) that sell it for that price.

  • As the name implies, this is just a guide to give one a ballpark idea what a bat is worth. Obviously these prices are not set in stone. All price estimates will vary because of weight, condition, and warranty availability.

  • Prices are dynamic in accordance with the laws of supply and demand.

  • Prices do not include shipping & handling costs. Why not? Because I'm not going to assume what company a seller uses to ship their bats. Also, you have to take into consideration point of origin and destination, as both these can factor into shipping costs.

  • As of right now you will notice some bats do not have prices. That's because I just didn't know what to estimate them at yet. I'm sure I'll be updating regularly, and that everything will eventually be priced!

  • I am in no way responsible for any deals that may go awry with board members selling bats in the SELLING FORUM.

  • I will, from time to time, and whenever needed, be editing & adding to the guide, and will do my best to note the date and nature of any changes I make.

  • Suggestions, comments, and questions are welcomed!

  • Enjoy!

A Short History of Anderson Bat Company (excerpt written by Ed McIntosh with Softball Today Magazine)
:


A High-Tech Engineer, a chemical Sales Manager, and a Professional Yacht Racer are not likely to have much in common . . . But they definitely had one thing in common for sure and they still do. You guessed it . . . SOFTBALL. These ballplayers got together and decided to design, build and sell bats built by ballplayers for ballplayers.

Our passion for “Diamond” sports goes back many years, but it was about 10 years ago that we started manufacturing and private labeling our bats for other companies. In 1999, Steven Anderson designed a new multi-wall high performance bat that featured our patented “Power Arch” technology. After thorough testing it was ready for the company that we designed it for, but they were going through a transition period and were not ready to move on it.

The bummer was this: our team was counting on using these bats in a big tournament that was just a month away. We could not put their graphics on the bats until the deal between the two of us was inked.

Steven offered a solution, “They’re already certified by the governing bodies so why don’t we put our own graphics on them and use them in the tourney.” It was a great idea and that is exactly what we did.

We showed up at the tournament with the new Anderson TechWrap. As usual we took batting practice and shared our new sticks with all of our softball brothers. We rolled right through the tourney and came home with the hardware.

I was driving to the plant the next morning wearing my championship tee-shirt and had no idea that when I arrived at 6:30 am that the message machine would be filled and the phones would be ringing. The messages and the calls were all basically the same, “How do I get my hands on one of those new Anderson TechWraps?"

That is how it started, and since then we have released the FlexTech, FastTech, RocketTech, TechZilla, PyroTech, and we are not done.

At Anderson Bat Company we are ballplayers making bats for ballplayers. Our bats are specifically engineered to provide what ballplayers crave, maximum performance. We set the standard and we will continue to push the envelope.

Let me tell you a little secret . . . No matter what truth the other guys claim, the proof is at the plate . . . GO DEEP, GO VERY VERY DEEP.

One last note:
You'll notice that the first couple bats don't say Anderson anywhere on them. That's because there was no Anderson Bat Company then. Before Anderson was Anderson, they built bats for other companies. While these bats don't bear the Anderson name, you can definitely see the resemblance between these sticks and the ones they would build later down the road.

1997 STEELE'S LASERFLEX XLT3

From Steven Anderson: "The bat was built exclusively for Steele's and it featured their endcap and end weighting system. It is a singlewall bat with a weighted snap-fit cap. They are definitely endloaded and sport a very loud ping because no sound attenuation is included."

U.S. Patent 5,284,332: Reduced aerodynamic drag baseball bat: The invention is a baseball bat having a handle portion and an end portion, the end portion having a generally cylindrical surface, and a striking portion, the surface of the striking portion impressed with a plurality of shallow depressions. The depressions are sized and located so as to increase the turbulence of the boundary layer of air flowing over the bat, as compared to the turbulence that would arise under identical conditions due to flow of air over a substantially smooth surfaced control bat, so as to trip the boundary layer and reduce the drag coefficient experienced by the bat, as compared to the drag coefficient that would be experienced by said control bat. Suggested parameters for optimization of the dimple sizes are provided.

1998 JACOBY
jacoby-2.jpg

DiamondFlex DF-49 Aluminum Alloy: Scientifically engineered, DiamondFlex DF-49 with its inherent “Trampoline Effect” is one of the highest performing aluminum alloys on the market today.

“Weldless” Knob Construction: Jacoby utilizes a patented knob-locking system with anodized knobs. A Jacoby “weldless” bat is completely protected by the anodized finish from end to end – no shiny silver knobs covered with flux. These knobs are smaller and lighter than most, allowing for the additional weight to be used where it counts – the end.

DensiCap Weight Allocation Technoloy: In a continuing effort to maximize bat speed, Jacoby bats are additionally weighted at the single point of greatest velocity – the cap. Our DensiCap weight allocation is a precise ratio between cap weight and complete bat weight for increased bat speed where it counts the most – through the hitting zone.

Premium Pigskin Grip: Jacoby paid special attention to this widely overlooked, but crucial area of bat construction – the grip. Because the grip is the only contact a player has with the bat, Jacoby bat crafters use the finest pigskin grips available to cover the ever popular ultra thin handle. Durability, reliability and comfort breeds confidence. Confidence breeds performance.

1998 KELLEY WRAPTECH BLACK

From Steven Anderson: "The black Kelley WrapTech is the first Kelley bat ever made by Anderson. It was created before the badges. It is the hottest WrapTech or RockeTech ever. If you can find a Black Kelley with a solid turned domed aluminum end cap, you've found the Holy Grail of multi-wall bats. It was also much more fragile than the newer models. The Black Anderson WrapTech came a little later and the performance was cooled a tiny bit by the new rules."
Approved Associations: ASA, USSSA, ISA, NSA
Bat Configuration: One-piece Multiwall (External sleeve), 100% Metal Alloy

NIW: $100-$120
USED: $75-$95



1998 KELLEY WRAPTECH RED
IMG_0201.jpg

The Kelly Wraptech is the new design by Kelley Sports of Texas. Each bat is carefully crafted from Diamond Flex 2000 alloy. Used in aerospace applications for its vibration dampening attribute, it has been designed specifically for energy transfer in a ball / bat collision. The shell is built from Diamond Flex 2000 alloy and the shell is isolated and enlarged by an aluminum forming process. A shot-peen finish is added for durability. The Wraptech has a small solid weldless knob that has been ergonomically designed to enhance the hitter's power. It is also designed to act as a counter balance to improve swing weight. A machined aluminum end cap with a poly fill is used in the Wraptech multi-wall. This cap eliminates cap flexure while assuring symetrical support for the WRAP. We have locked the cap into the shell by adding three set screws, thus making it impossible for the cap to ever come off.

Special note: Please notice in the picture that there's a long shell version of the WrapTech Red and a short shell version. I asked Steven Anderson why this was and his response was: "We built the longer barrel bat first and didn't have a 26 oz model. We shortened the barrel to make the 26 and Kelley liked the look much better..."

2005 ROCKETTECH COMPOSITE KILLER (aka RTCK)
rtck-1.jpg

Anderson Bat Company has done it! We have developed an aluminum bat that passes the ASA 98MPH regulations and still responds like a bat rated over 100MPH. Current ASA regulations have forced other manufacturers to lower their bat’s performance levels and offer a toned down version of their previous models. The 2005 RocketTech CK gives players the opportunity to swing an ASA legal bat that feels and performs like a Non-ASA bat. The RocketTech CK features Added Distance, Larger More Forgiving Sweet Spot, Unparalleled Feel and, best of all, NO BREAK IN PERIOD! Own the hottest ASA Approved bat and start launching some serious BOMBS. RocketTech CK has a slightly end loaded feel and is available in 26oz, 27oz, 28oz, 29oz, 30oz, 31oz.

2005 ROCKETTECH RELOADED (aka RTRL)

If you thought you were launching bombs with the original RocketTech, you have no idea! RocketTech Reloaded takes everything about the original RocketTech that was right and improves it. The Reloaded features Increased Ball Exit Speed that makes it too hot for ASA play (100MPH+), Added Distance, Larger More Forgiving Sweet Spot and, best of all, NO BREAK IN PERIOD! This high-tech piece of equipment is a MUST HAVE for those of you looking to increase the fire power in your arsenal. RocketTech Reloaded has a slightly end loaded feel. The Rocket Tech Reloaded is engineered different than most aluminum bats to have high and low ridges on the sleeve putting the ball into contact with both the thin and slightly thicker part of the barrel giving the ball more pop. When the high ridges start to smooth out it creates a slight gap for even a hotter performance. Utilizing DiamondFlex™ Aluminum Alloy - DF2K3 the Rocket Tech Reloaded is a 12" barrel, exterior sleeve multi-wall bat that has been reengineered to enhance durability and response. The sleeve is supported by our proprietary "POWER ARCH" system, which tightens the springs of the "trampoline" while stabilizing the launch area. This combination has produced the largest sweet spot available on a legal bat.

New for 2008! The Anderson Matrix Slowpitch Composite bat! This bat features Anderson`s Internal Multi-layer Design which pulls together several layers of composite material to generate true multi-wall performance. These layers along with Anderson`s perfectly calibrated components create a technologically perfect bat for absolute maximum performance at the plate. The new Matrix also features Taper Flex Technology which utilizes a computer program that designs each bat for optimal performance. The shape of the bat is scientifically calculated to perfectly tune the bat`s vibration energy creating a wider sweet spot and smooth contact with no stinging. No other bat can make that claim. The Matrix has a Lexan Bullet Proof Cap that makes the bat much sturdier, giving the bat a stronger overall support system that widens the sweet spot and allows for maximum flexural response. Others may think the end cap is an afterthought, but, Anderson has taken end caps and stood them on their heads and made them bulletproof. Comfort is delivered through the Ultra-Thin Whip Handle which gives you a better feeling of control and sure hands. Hitters will enjoy a tighter grip for just the right amount of whip action. The Solid Weld-less Ergonomic Knob fits perfectly into the palm of your hand and provides a nice counterbalance to the rest of the bat. The Weld-less design makes the knob 4 times stronger than any other knob out there. Step up and swing with confidence!

2010 NANOTEK U-TRIP

100+ MPH performance... right out of the wrapper! The NanoTek™ SP boasts a "Launch Pad" that spans most of the barrel and provides maximum performance across a much wider hitting area than any softball bat ever produced. The unprecedented strength of the revolutionary NanoTek™ Alloy allows us to build a bat with the thinnest wall in the game. Stronger and more flexible than steel and Titanium, the patented NanoTek™ technology utilizes the Hall-Petch Effect to create a "launch-pad" on the barrel that stores more energy at contact and delivers superior performance, improved feel and twice the effective hitting area of the competition. The Nanotek Launchpad creates a highly reactive hitting area while putting the weight directly behind the ball and strategically placing counteractive weight to optimize MOI.

The design is the result of a decade-old concept that was only made possible with the new material advancements. The Launchpad is a layer of super-hard, super-elastic material that is bonded at the atomic level over the entire effective hitting area. Because the Launchpad is harder and stronger it isolates the work area of the barrel from the underlying aluminum substrate shell. What that means is that, because of the isolation, the underlying shell does not retain the residual vibrational energy from the ball-bat impact that normally travels up and down the length of the bat and is lost in a typical single-piece-bat design, nor is the energy absorbed in the connection as it is in a two-piece-bat design. The energy is captured in the Launchpad section of the Nanotek bat and because the Launchpad has higher elasticity it allows a more efficient transfer of the energy to the flight of the ball. Because of the barrel isolation with unlike materials the effective hitting area is larger by more than double. Unlike composites that gradually rise to a short-lived maximum potential, the NanoTek™ SP has no break-in period, maintaining 100+ MPH performance and delivering a solid feel throughout its life.

NanoTek™ FP Fastpitch Bat: The Future . . .

The Anderson NanoTek™ all-metal bat is the equivalent-performance alternative to the extended break-in period and compromised durability of today's composite bats. By way of the Anderson LaunchPad™, the NanoTek™ product line-up offers superior performance right out of the wrapper without sacrificing the durability one would expect from a premium high-performance product.

The NanoTek™ product line is the first to include the Anderson LaunchPad™. The LaunchPad™ features the largest, most explosive, effective hitting area you will find on any bat anywhere in the game today. By elastically strengthening just the hitting area, and efficiently relocating the design captured weight right behind the ball, the LaunchPad™ is allowed to flex in unison with the underlying aluminum shell. Crafted by artisans, the NanoTek™ has the strongest, most forgiving, and yet the most reactive barrel in the game with no break-in required.

The NanoTek™ bat is a working example of Anderson's position in the light vs. heavy bat debate. The highly reactive Anderson LaunchPad™ concept allows considerable design latitude with respect to the balance and feel of the bat. Every feature of The NanoTek™ is designed to provide every hitter the ultimate in performance. The Ergonomic Knob, the toughened TrueFlex™ End Cap, the Taper-Flex Contour, and the Anderson LaunchPad™ are synergistic components designed to improve performance by distributing the movable weight where it will do the most good -- directly behind the ball at contact.

2011 KSP
2011ksp.jpg

Anderson has raised the bar once again when it comes to alloy bats with the release of their exclusive KX Series. The future of alloy bats starts with Anderson, and it starts with the K Series KSP Slow Pitch Softball Bat. Anderson has always been an industry leader in innovation and technology and the new KX Series takes that trend to the next level. Designed specifically for slow pitch softball the Single-wall Construction, enhanced manufacturing, accuracy and easily identifiable new graphics, the KSP has it all. The new KXTM Series Alloy is one of a kind and required a redesign of the bat shape to optimize Moment of Inertia (MOI). Optimizing the MOI makes it possible to swing the bat faster with less effort. The alloy has a greater yield value and added strength that allows a more responsive and larger Effective Hitting Area (EHA). The Ultra Thin Whip Handle and the SG-1 Sport Grip combine for added comfort with every swing. The Ergonomic Weldless Knob and Taper Flex Vibration System help to reduce sting after contact. The energy transfer efficiency equals better performance and provides the edge every player needs to compete effectively at the highest levels. Faster bat speed plus heavier overall weight equals surefire higher performance, every time. Anderson has always been a believer in "Game Improvement by Design", and that is definitely true with this bat. This bat is backed by Anderson’s 30 day exclusive “Proof is at the Plate” program. It also comes with a full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer’s Warranty.

From Steven Anderson: "The K series will replace the PyroTechs. K = Kinetic Exchange. The difference is a brand new alloy that includes a whole different type of grain refinement element (does the same thing as scandium without causing more brittleness) that makes it more resilient under higher loads and more responsive under average bat speeds. The structure of the bat has been altered to maximize the new mechanical properties of the material and maximize the added flexural response. The structural design utilizes what we've learned about improving MOI for added batspeed. The bat will keep the excellent durability of the PyroTech with added performance and better mid-speed responsiveness. And obviously it will feature the signature Anderson components like the small knob, thin handle, TruFlex Cap, and TaperFlex Contour."

2011 KFP
2011kfp.jpg

The knowledge we have acquired in years of manufacturing Multi-Wall bats has enabled us to reach a pinnacle in Single-Wall technology and performance, and diamond sports enthusiasts throughout the country will immediately notice a difference.

The distance a ball travels is a result of the potential energy redirected at contact. Our Acoustic Enhancement Technology (AET) effectively absorbs offensive sound waves without affecting the bat's productive vibrational energy. The result is the unique Anderson "crack" instead of the annoying, and inefficient, "ping".

Combined with our TruFlex™ end cap, signature TaperFlex™ Contour, Ultra-Thin Whip Handle, and Ergonomic Knob, the KFP technology works synergistically to produce the most comfortable swing in the game.

2013 ROCKETFLEX
2013rf_zps6bf8bbfa.jpg

The Anderson RocketFlex SP combines the PowerArch – exterior sleeve – multi-wall design of the legendary RockeTech with the new FlexLink composite handle. The combination of the PowerArch and FlexLink technologies is a recipe for the long ball. The combined technologies provide unmatched feel, superior performance and a uniquely endloaded hitting experience. The RocketFlex is uniquely endloaded to take advantage of the improved batspeed that inertial weight adds and the performance and feel that inspires the confidence to go deep. Nothing feels quite like being your own RBI.

The Anderson RocketFlex FP combines the PowerArch – exterior sleeve – multi-wall design of the legendary RockeTech with the new FlexLink composite handle. It’s lighter than the RockeTech FP and is easily swung by smaller players. The combined PowerArch and the FlexLink technologies provide the kind of performance that motivates a young fastpitch player and instills confidence. Everybody knows that confidence wins ballgames.

Kid: The 2003 pyrotech that you show just after the flextech is not correct. It is the 2006 pyrotech. There was no pyrotech until 2005. You have it listed.

I'm getting conflicting information on this. I believe tumblebug gave me that date.

Wellllll... none of the bats were ever BANNED from ASA. The ones you're referring to (I believe), such as the RocketTech Reloaded and the TechZilla Reborn, are Utrip bats, and thus, were never meant for ASA play to begin with.

I'll see what I can do, though!

Hmm, I'm looking at the ASA Non-Approved list and I don't see any Anderson bats on there.

Am I totally misunderstanding what you're saying?

Maybe it's time for coffee...

the 2 bats you listed are not allowed in ASA right? the assumption from most people, i think, is that all andersons are ok to use in ASA.

Ah, ok. I see your point. I'm adding things to the guide now which should clear this up. Thank you for holding! We ask that you please bear with us during these difficult times.

Anybody ever figure out what the deal was with the white Techwrap? I remember somebody had one in the bay area.

White TechWrap? Is that for real? The photo looks strange... like it's a negative of a different photo or something.

You got any more pix?

That's the only one I had. I found it on eBay years ago. I know it's real however because there was a guy that used to swing it on the Pennisula. I always thought it was a PST until I got close to it.

We made a bunch of color combination samples that were all hittable bats. someone broke into our warehouse and stole a whole bunch of stuff, including those bats. That person did some time behind his B&E but every once in a while we still see the bats. You have a photo here of just such a bat.
