What’s the proper way to hold the axe bat? See pics.

Right handed batter, left hand on bottom.

I think it’s the first pic where the purple part of the handle is pointed towards the catcher. My wife doesn’t agree, but she never played softball — I never played baseball either.

I would hold it like I’d hold a handle of a real axe when chopping wood. Which would be image #1.

To me image #2 defeats the entire purpose of the handle design.
