What we provide

Scope of Services

We provide a bat matching service where We can match the characteristics of a batter to available bats (which we have tested) as well as associated services (like Our blog). Whichbat does not sell bats, does not receive money from any bat manufacturer or retailer that would influence our search results, and does not sell information. Whichbat may provide statistical data from search results to partners of ours to help ensure that there is sufficient inventory for you to purchase the most popular bats.

Over time, we will improve and may expand our services. If we make any material changes to our services that negatively impact your use of our services or if we stop a service, we will provide you with reasonable advanced notice.

Cookies are small (and usually temporary files) that store how You interact with a website (like Whichbat's website). And, in order for this to work, We do have to share Your cookie data with Facebook. You may opt out of using Pixel by adjusting your browser settings. Otherwise, You agree to allow us to use and share cookie data.
