All-New Engineered Design. Max Power, Speed and Durability. Carbon and fiber glass prepreg layers are laid up on the barrel using “shield” shaped layers that wrap around the taper and barrel with fewer seam lines and less overlap creating massive weight savings and more durability. This new barrel technology directly translates to larger barrels, higher performance and less breaks.
NEW Charged carbon ULTRA
All-New Material Process. Max Power & Durability. Our most advanced carbon composite utilizes a complex polymer matrix to keep individual layers thin maximizing weight savings and performance. The toughened resin allows the barrel to perform longer and right at the allowable performance limit.
NEW SHOCK SUSPENSION 2 connection
All-New Vibration Reduction Feel. Shock Suspension technology intercepts vibration at the connection point before it reaches your hands. The result is a smoother, more comfortable, and higher-performing swing.
NEW HYPERWHIP2 ENDCAP
All-New Sleeker Design. Sleek design and the carbon materials save weight at the tip of the bat for a faster, more efficient swing and larger barrel.
NEW Patented PRO AXE HANDLE
Patented Swing Advantage. The Patented Pro Axe Handle provides better connection and fit than a round handle. Allowing you to swing faster with more control every time up. Better awaits.

The following are tips and tricks to take care of your bat and make sure that you properly break it in for maximum performance. At the end of this post there are some illegal break in procedures that you should absolutely avoid. Some stores and websites offer to roll or shave a bat. We do not recommend this as both are illegal and can result in multiple issues for you.
BAT CARE
- Rotate your bat 1/4 turn each swing to distribute the hitting surface evenly
- Limit the bat to individual use.
- Do not use in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Do not store the bat in extremely hot or cold temperature areas. It takes about 4 hours for a bat to reach the temperature that it is in. You can use the bats in colder weather as long as they are stored in warm places.
- Do not use the bat to hit the dirt off of your metal cleats
- Use regulation leather covered baseballs and softballs. Avoid the dimpled cage balls. It's best to keep an old bat, wood or a cheaper alloy for practice.
- Do not hit waterlogged balls
- Routinely check your bat for any damage
BREAK IN
- Aluminum / Alloy bats do not require a break-in period. These bats are ''hot out of the wrapper'' and can be used in a game right away.
- Composite bats may require a break-in period. If you feel your bat is not at optimal performance out of the wrapper, we recommend about 50-100 swings either off of a tee or by soft toss with a 1/4 rotation of the barrel after each swing. Some bats will require more break in, and others less but please remember composite bat life spans are directly related to how many impacts it receives. Each "Break In" hit takes away overall life of the bat! Once broken In, we recommend that you save you bat for Game Use Only.

We recommend starting with a length based on a player's height and weight as seen below. These charts simply serve as a starting point. As far as the best weight, it will vary from player to player depending on one's personal preference, age, hitting style, bat speed, and strength. Typically we recommend the longest and heaviest bat that you can swing without losing bat speed or affecting your swing. The FEEL of the bat will be the most important factor. You have to make sure it feels right to you. The more you like it the more confident you will be at the plate!
HELP DECIDING BETWEEN TWO SIZES
- Longer/Heavier Bat: Will be better for players that are growing but can cause a dip in their swing. Also it moves the sweetspot of the bat further away from the player which can cause more miss hits. For a growing or younger player that can handle the heavier bat without issue compared to the lighter, it is best to go with the longer/heavier bat.
- Shorter/Lighter Bat: Will give far more control of the bat, and keep the sweetspot closer to the player. They can always adjust in batter's box. The down side for growing players is you might have to buy more bats over time. Tony Gwynn, one of the greatest batters in MLB history and a grown man who weighed well over 200lbs, used a 32 ½ inch bat the majority of his career. It is not always better to just keep sizing up.

IMPORTANT BASEBALL BAT RULES
Baseball unlike Fastpitch Softball has certain Drop (Length-to-Weight Ratio) requirements per age group. It is important to keep track of these as there is a certain point over 4 years where you have to have a different drop each year. If you can swing the heavier earlier without hurting your swing it can be beneficial.
- 12 & Under (12u): Any Drop
- 13 & Under (13u): Must be a DROP 8 or Heavier
- 14 & Under (14u): Must be a DROP 5 or Heavier
- 15 & Under (15u): Must be a BBCOR (Drop 3)
- High School (Regardless of Age): Must be a BBCOR (Drop 3)
LENGTH-to-WEIGHT RATIO
The ''DROP'' as some may call it, or the number with the MINUS in front of it is the LENGTH-to-WEIGHT ratio. This defines the difference between the length of the bat in inches and the weight of the bat in ounces. The larger the number, the lighter the bat.
