My kids and I love playing outside in our backyard in the evenings. Both my children also enjoy playing games with balls. I am terrible at sports, but my husband played baseball as a teenager, so my daughter is interested in the game. When recently offered the chance to review a Crush-It! baseball bat from Tucker Toys in exchange for my honest opinion, I eagerly accepted the opportunity.
Price
The Tucker Toys Crush-It! baseball bat currently retails for $26.41 with free shipping on Amazon. Other ball and bat sets cost as little as $9 and as much as $32. Crush-It! is priced among the higher end, but, unlike other solid bats, it features adjustable tension strings. I therefore rate the current price positively.
Design
The Crush-It! baseball bat from Tucker Toys comes with a lightweight plastic bat and a soft foam baseball. The easy-swing bat features adjustable string tension with power knob, spring-action barrel, and comfortable handle grip. The bat measures approximately 34 inches by 3 inches.
Performance
My kids really love playing with the Crush-It! baseball bat from Tucker Toys. Although recommended for kids ages 5 and up, both my 20-month-old and 4-year-old like trying to bat the ball around our backyard. My daughter can sometimes hit the ball with the bat, and my son just like throwing the ball around while dragging the bat behind him. Both my kids can be a little rough on toys, but Crush-It! is holding up to all manner of abuse. The bat is blue and neon green while the foam ball is white, bright colors that are easy to see. I like that I can easily find both in my backyard because sometimes my kids leave the pieces in random places.
I like that the Crush-It! baseball bat from Tucker Toys features adjustable string tension. To allow the ball to soar farther, tighten the string. For a smaller play area, loosen the strings. Adjusting the tension is as simple as turning the knob on the end of the bat. I like that I can control how far the ball flies with a simple twist. As my kids get older, I can make hitting balls out of our backyard a little harder by lowering the tension on the strings. I also really like the foam ball that comes with the bat. Soft foam is less likely to break windows and cause bodily injury. My kids and I are looking forward to playing with the Crush-It! ball and bat for many years to come.
