Demand for Basketball Merchandise on the rise

Be it memorabilia, apparel or footwear, the demand for college basketball merchandise continues to grow. More and more Americans are turning nostalgic and buying basketball jerseys of their college or autographed caps. Their demand is matched by today’s generation that lives on fashion styles launched by basketball stars.

The demand peaks during March when the NCAA tourney starts. Suddenly, there is a great rush for college jerseys, caps, shorts, logos, headbands, writs bands, and any other knickknack associated with the game.

Basketball shoes are especially in great demand. Everyone wants to wear a shoe named after a basketball star. Part of this demand is fuelled by footwear companies like Nike, Adidas and Reebok which have launched basketball shoes after the names of basketball stars. The high voltage advertising accompanying basketball games adds to the basketball fever.

Hitters choice of bat

Hard Rock Maple Baseball Bats are the hitters choice for having a bat that is less likely to split or crack. Maple is a hardwood, which immediately in itself gives the advantage of having a thicker, more dense baseball bat.

With all baseball bats, you want the manufacturer to be choosing the best quality wood source available. Simply finding a hard rock maple baseball bat is not going to necessarily ensure that it is definitely going to be the item that gets you on base by being more durable and less likely to split or crack. Trees do not grow in compliance with a future as a baseball bat.

Hard rock maple baseball bats need to be crafted from wood billets that have perfectly straight grain systems. Maple trees do not always grow straight. Choosing the source is extremely important for a manufacturer of hard rock maple baseball bats, since any tree, maple or otherwise, do not always grow straight.
