ABOUT WARSTIC®
FOR DEVOTED HITTERS ONLY.
Warstic® honors the spirit of hitters who compete in Diamond Sports, like Warriors.
In this day in age when most seek physical comfort, safety, no-risk virtual entertainment experiences, and instant gratification without effort, real hitters make the choice to relentlessly train to step into the box, wholeheartedly, to face probable failure, discomfort, possible injury, and rejection from others over and over and over. Gladly.
Why do they do it? Because it’s simply in their blood to hunt flush, hard contact in big moments regardless of the pressure and odds of success. If you know that feeling of satisfaction, you know. Most spectators have no idea what hitters go through on a moment-to-moment, week-by-week, season-by-season basis in the box. The sacrifice is real.
There is a true obsession within the hitters that moves them past the fear, and into the work to master their craft with no promise of reward, respect, glory, or love in return. We consider any hitter, of any age, gender, and level to be on the devoted path to master the hardest thing to do in sports until the very last At Bat of their lives. Learning to hit, is the great teacher. To be a student of the art of hitting is to be ok with what life presents to you and say "I’m here for it." Right now. Thank you for the lesson, what’s next.
To choose to be a hitter is to be exhausted mentally much of the time, but love it. More often than not, you are likely going to find yourself searching your soul for every last ounce of mental grit, resilience, and focus just to find one more barrel for your teammates. You don’t hit for the recognition, the rankings, scholarship or status, you hit for the love of it.
You could call that having a Warrior’s Mentality.
This is to be admired. And that’s why we focus solely on forging High Caliber Pro Metal & Wood Hitcraft for Hitters who Become Warriors in the Box.
Clean turns forever. Stay Gold & Battle.

TIRED OF THE EVER-CHANGING, ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL, HYPE IN THE BAT MARKET?
Are you tired searching for a magic bat that will make hitting easy?
Tired of falling for the myth that there is one currently “hot” bat that is somehow magically better than all the rest? (By the way, metal bats are regulated by BBCOR, USSSA, USA standards to have performance ceilings that are absolutely real.) Tired of finding out that you don’t swing that bat as well as the person hyping it, or a teammate who swings it? Tired of being less of a complete hitter than you are really capable of? Isn’t your gut telling you, a devoted disciple of the art of hitting, that the masses are probably chasing an illusion.
Let’s be real. The mindset of chasing exit velocity as the sole attribute when choosing a bat will not evolve you into a complete, dangerous, feared, or valued hitter. This mindset, can easily lead you to a bat that does not complement your swing and approach, or ability. A pro mindset, is elevated. It is much more diverse, calculated, nuanced, and intelligent than that. They know there is a connection to the individual hitter’s game that needs to be fully considered.
So the question you should be asking is not do you have that bat everyone is talking about. The question is which bat out there do I swing the best.
You need something you can move to the pitched ball, consistently, smoothly, on a variety of pitches in a variety of locations. This only happens of course with great mechanics and approach. But, when it comes to choosing a bat as your weapon of choice, a pro’s mindset wants to find the right feel, specs, and style for YOUR SWING
RISE ABOVE THE NOISE WITH WARSTIC®
We take PRO approach to designing and forging metal bats for diamond sports, and we do it for hitters of any age, level and gender.
You love working to become a complete in game hitter. Not just BP god. You love executing clean turns, and finding flush barrels in big moments. We love working to design and forge metal and wood hitting tools for your journey to become a hitter, no matter which hitter type you happen to be studying to become. While the trend these days by bat brands is to focus only on what happens at ball contact, exit velo, we know there is way more to it. Like getting to the ball! Real hitters, and their parents and coaches know the truth. There is no one-size-fits-all hitting tool that compliments every hitter, every swing, every intent in the box. They simply know better. They know so much of the nuance that makes a bat RIGHT for an individual hitter is lost in this one current bat is best mindset. They understand that performance standards are real, and no hitter is like all others, so it takes the right feel and fit, for THEM, in a stic, to reach their greatest hitting potential.
We design with FEEL and variations in swingabilty as our top design priority.
Simply put. Pros want options, because Pros don’t all have the same swing, or the same approach to hitting. 1 thru 9, they beat pitchers in many different ways. We learned this from our roots as a Wood back company dating back to 2011. The bat catalog was, and remains, extensive. The goal of in-house bat design studio is design enough variations in feel in our bat arsenal, that all hitter types can find weapon perfectly suited to THEIR individual swing and personal style. This may come in the form of offering different barrel profiles, swing weights, forgiveness thresholds, knob styles, handle thickness, bat lengths including 1/2 sizes, grip options, etc. The goal is for the hitter to find the right bat, and then forget about the bat. It should feel like an extension of themselves, and their character. And then they can get to work on their swing with confidence.
Durability is never compromised for exit velocity.
We know exit velo is a given within the standards allowed, IF we pursue the highest ceiling of the rules. And we absolutely do. But to us, and pro-minded hitters, what is most important is, it is the swing that produces consistent hard contact with ease. This is what truly produces results, and exit velo, at the plate. Once we achieve the standard threshold, there is no reason durability needs to be sacrificed to create performance in bats. Check the reviews on our bats, batting gloves, bags. We are the most quality options available. We love seeing pics from our customers of our products after years in use. War torn, battle tested, bruised, scared, and full of character. Bats are special when they arrive fresh and new. But they become collectible art when hitters work with them, and make memories with them. That's really what it’s all about.
The Art of the Stic.
As a Warrior, your weapon is an extension of you. It’s personal. It needs to fit you, perform for you, and express YOUR individual substance & style. We are known for combining High-end Performance & Durability with High Design Aesthetics and Beauty. We don't compromise the looks of our tools and gear to chase a fad. Ever original, often emulated, we are known as trend setters on the design side, and we take a less is more approach to our aesthetics creating bold eye catching designs with precision design taste.

IT’S NOT THE WEAPON, IT’S THE WARRIOR.
As you probably have realized, Hitting is extremely hard. And that’s why we admire those who stay on the path to mastering it over years and a years.
There is a 3rd dimension of Warstic® that makes us absolutely unique within our industry. Warstic = Warrior’s Stic. A warrior, to us, offers SOMETHING TO ASPIRE TO BE. To become in the box. There is an ongoing conversation happening at within our tribe, #warstripenation, about helping future generations of stic warriors connect mind & heart, with mechanics. We help hitters aspire to be something more, and welcome you to be part of it. We offer more than product, we offer a community of support, mentorship, education, inspiration, and a path toward rising above the noise. We do this thru exposure and access to like minded coaches, inspiring parents, pro and college players, and even people outside of hitting who have something to teach us that applies to our craft.
We raise hitters here, not BP gods.
And we are here for you, always. When you play against a Warstic athlete, you know you are dealing with something different. It has nothing to do with mechanics, it has everything to do with their mindset. The dominant hitter is 'The Hunter!' The hunter hits with a weapon, calm, present, aware of their surroundings, poised, and has a plan. They are confident, hungry, determined to eat! The Warstic hitter is on offense, possesses full-hearted intent, they are ready to ambush, ready to ATTACK! They are dangerous because they are focused on their mission: to make the kill shot. It is more about being ready than it is about being mechanically perfect. We want to develop you mentality as a Warrior in the box. What does that look like?
We think Bruce Lee says it best in ENTER THE DRAGON..
Bruce: “Teacher, I see your talents have gone beyond the mere physical level your skills are now at the point of spiritual insight.
Teacher: “what is the highest technique you hope to achieve to have?
Bruce: “no technique”
Teacher: “very good. What are your thoughts when facing an opponent?”
Bruce: “there is no opponent”
Teacher: “why is that”
Bruce: “Because the word I does not exist.
A good martial artist does not become tense but ready. Not thinking yet, not dreaming.
Ready for whatever may come.
When the opponent expands, I contract.
When he contracts, I expand.
And when there is an opportunity I do not hit.
IT HITS ALL BY ITSELF."
Our mindset is all about developing that presence in the box This is learned behavior, not a god-given character.And it only comes thru repeatedly learning from failure.
Our trademark, "Warstripe" symbol, represents this mindset.

Designed originally in 2010 by Warstic® founder @onefastbuffalo, we see it as not only a representation of who we are, but as a focusing tool placed on every product that helps you find the center balancing point between the physical and mental realms within the chaos of battle.
The Warstripe represent the struggle between the past and the future. Where past and future do not exist In the mind. Where we have complete focus on the task at hand. That is always the goal in the box. Period.
In the box. The past cannot be changed, forgotten, or erased. Only accepted. The future is unwritten, not determined. You will create it. The state we want to achieve sounds something like the Japanese concept of Zanshin….“the mind that remains” Or “the remaining mind.”
Only in this state, can training truly be recalled.
Warstic was founded by former baseball player turned designer Ben Jenkins of @onefastbuffalo in 2011. In 2016, Jenkins partnered with investors Jack White of Third Man Records and formally the band The White Stripes, and American professional baseball player Ian Kinsler.
