When you live by a mantra, you play with purpose — and now, Rawlings has crafted a bat that embodies that same focus and fire. Introducing the 2026 Rawlings Mantra Fastpitch Softball Bat: the newest evolution of a fan-favorite, built for hitters who demand feel, control, and raw power in every swing.
💥 Dialed-In Performance. Game-Changing Tech.
The Mantra Series has always been known for combining cutting-edge innovation with a hitter-first design — and the 2026 model takes that to the next level. At the heart of the bat is Rawlings’ Three-Step Inner Barrel Technology, a finely tuned design that creates a thinner outer layer for hotter exit speeds and a more forgiving sweet spot. Even on your mishits, you’ll feel the pop.
Pair that with the In/Tense Carbon Composite Barrel, and you’ve got a lightweight yet deadly weapon in your hands. This barrel material is ultra-durable and engineered for maximum energy transfer — meaning every ounce of power goes straight into the ball, not lost in vibration.
⚙️ Built for Confidence at the Plate
The F2 Collar connection system has been refined for 2026 to reduce drag and vibration, giving you a smoother, more consistent feel from handle to barrel. Add in the Tuned Balance Performance, which helps you control your swing path without sacrificing bat speed, and you’re set up to dominate pitchers at every level.
Whether you're a power-hitter looking to drive the ball or a contact player aiming to control the zone, this bat adapts to your style — thanks to its ergonomic knob and balanced construction.
🔍 Choose Your Drop. Know Your Game.
The 2026 Mantra is available in -9, -10, and -11 drops — with the -11 built for younger players and the -9/-10 options designed for more experienced athletes. (Note: The -11 drop is not approved for college play, so be sure to match your bat to your level of competition.)
