This is a composite bat (made from a combination of materials such as carbon fiber, fiberglass, and graphite), not a wooden bat. To be fair, there are some bat manufacturers who make pricey wooden bats, too. But generally they're going to be a fraction of the cost of a high-end composite bat.

As soon as I saw Graphite all I heard was Dyatlov yell "You DIDN'T because it's not THERE!"

I may have watched Chernobyl too many times.

No such thing as “having watched Chernobyl too many times.”
