The Beater's bat is a piece of equipment used by Beaters in the game of Quidditch to hit Bludgers at players of the other team in an attempt to knock them off their broomsticks. The bats were magically reinforced to give them greater strength. In the early days of the game, when Bludgers were made of rock, the bats would often shatter the rock, resulting in flying gravel. The bats also proved too strong for the lead Bludgers that followed, denting them when they were struck.
