Affiliate & advertising disclosure
How retailer links are disclosed and kept separate from recommendations. Effective and last updated August 31, 2026 (version 2026-08-31-2).
The short version
Some outbound retailer and marketplace links on this site may be affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. Commission plays no part in what we recommend.
What commission can never touch
Which bats enter the catalog; whether a bat is legal for your division; the specification the sizing engine prescribes; the fit score the engine produces; which result is presented first; the construction rules applied for young age groups; and the order of a price table, which is sorted by total cost to you and nothing else. Commission, commission rate, sponsorship, retailer payout, click revenue, advertising spend, brand prestige and product newness are worth exactly zero points in scoring.
“Keep your current gear” is a real outcome
The matcher can tell parents not to buy anything when the athlete's current equipment remains the best fit.
No paid placement, no sponsored recommendations
Brands and retailers cannot buy a recommendation, a fit score, a ranking, a fit note, a review, or a position in any guide. We do not accept sponsored placements in results, and we do not run third-party display advertising. Nothing on this site is written or approved by a manufacturer.
How links are labelled
Pages that carry commissionable links show a disclosure next to those links, not only here. Where an affiliate link is not authorised for a source, we send you to the retailer’s plain canonical URL instead.
Prices come from third parties
Any price, shipping cost, condition or availability we show is a point-in-time observation with a last-verified timestamp, suppressed once it is stale. The retailer’s own page is always authoritative, and your purchase is a contract with them, not with us. See the terms and how it works.
