We recommend hitting 150-200 balls at approximately 50% power, rotating the bat 1\/4 turn after each hit using the rotation numbers marked on the barrel.

The 232 Technology plural resin system creates variable compression zones across the barrel, giving you a bigger effective sweet spot and more explosive exit velocity, while the lightweight alloy handle keeps bat speed high even with the added end-load weighting. Whether you're stepping into USSSA tournament play or a competitive ISA or NSA league, this two-piece build is designed to deliver hot-out-of-the-wrapper performance.
