2027 Marucci Asura Rise Fastpitch Softball Bats

Shop the 2027 Marucci ASURA Rise Fastpitch Softball Bats — engineered for the next era of fastpitch power. A dream to swing. A nightmare to pitch. Every model in this two-piece composite lineup brings a longer inner barrel for a wider sweet spot and a more forgiving barrel, an AV™ Knob for a smoother feel in your hands, and individually tuned performance across every length and drop weight. Available in four drop weights — -11, -10, -9 and -8 — so hitters at every stage can find the balance of bat speed and power that fits their swing. Dream higher. Hit farther.

How to Choose Your 2027 ASURA Rise Drop Weight

Drop weight is bat length in inches minus weight in ounces — the higher the number, the lighter the bat feels relative to its length. Here's how the ASURA Rise lineup breaks down by hitter type:

Contact Hitters: -11 and -10

Lighter drops maximize bat speed through the zone, helping hitters get the barrel to the ball as quickly as possible. The -11 is the lightest option in the lineup, while the -10 adds a touch more mass without giving up quickness.

Gap-to-Gap Hitters: -10 and -9

A balanced -10 or -9 covers both bat speed and power needs in the same swing, making either model a strong fit for hitters who spray the field and don't want to sacrifice pop for contact, or vice versa.

Power Hitters: -9 and -8

Heavier drops add barrel mass for hitters who already generate their own bat speed. The -9 is the more approachable power option, while the -8 is the maximum barrel mass build in the lineup.

Is the -8 Right for Your Player?

Fewer than 5% of players need a -8 weighting. This drop is built for maximum barrel mass and elite fastpitch performance, and it should only be chosen if your hitter already has the strength and swing mechanics to handle the additional weight without sacrificing bat speed. College-bound athletes and advanced high school power hitters will appreciate the -8's ability to generate elite exit velocities on well-struck balls — but for most hitters, a -9 or -10 will outperform it.

Key Specs & Technology

Rise Sync Barrel Technology

Rise up to a smarter, more forgiving barrel. It features an elongated, fully suspended inner barrel that extends the active hitting zone by up to 10%, widening the sweet spot and increasing barrel responsiveness — without sacrificing balance or feel.

AV™ Knob (Anti-Vibration Technology)

Built to Rise above. The AV™ Knob is designed to reduce vibration and kill sting, not feel. Built as one solid system with a soft, elastomeric outer shell, you'll get a smoother feel in your hands and connected feedback without harsh vibration.

PFX Composite Handle & OLS Connection

Your dream swing starts here. The Player-Optimized Flex Composite handle is engineered specifically by weight drop, adjusting flex characteristics to enhance swing speed, power and feel for every model in the lineup.

Tailored Performance Across the Lineup

Each bat length and drop is individually tuned with an optimized inner barrel design, maximizing performance whether you're outfitting a single hitter or an entire lineup.
