2026 Short Porch DDT Blackout — David Ireland Signature

2-Piece Kevlar | 12.5-Inch Barrel | .75 oz Endload | SSUSA / NSA / ISA / USSSA Senior Certified

Some players adjust to the game. David Ireland makes the game adjust to him. The David Ireland Signature DDT Blackout is a 2-piece Kevlar monster engineered for the player who already knows where the ball is going before it leaves the bat. The 12.5-inch barrel is wide, forgiving, and absolutely loaded — with a .75 oz endload that rewards a full, aggressive cut with the kind of carry that makes outfielders take a step back before you even make contact.

DDT — Dual Distribution Technology

This isn't just a buzzword. DDT (Dual Distribution Technology) is the engineering behind why this bat hits different. By distributing energy across both pieces of the construction at contact, every swing transfers maximum force directly into the barrel — no dead spots, no energy bleed, no excuses.

Pair that with a zero-flex handle that kills vibration dead, and you've got a 2-piece that swings like a weapon and feels like a handshake. David Ireland's signature is on this bat because it was built to perform at his level. Now it's yours.

Why the DDT Blackout Dominates Senior Slowpitch

Kevlar Composite — Strength Without the Weight

Kevlar delivers tensile strength five times stronger than steel while remaining incredibly lightweight. The 2-piece DDT Blackout leverages this material science for a bat built to absorb punishment over full seasons of hard contact — without adding swing weight where you don't want it.

12.5-Inch Barrel — More Surface, More Damage

The oversized 12.5-inch barrel expands the effective hitting zone, giving you more margin on off-center contact while still producing elite exit velocity when you catch it square. Whether you're hunting the gap or the fence, this barrel delivers.

.75 oz Endload — Built for Power Hitters

The .75 oz endload shifts mass toward the end of the barrel, generating increased momentum through the zone on aggressive swings. If you've trained to handle endload, this bat will reward every full cut with carry you can feel from the moment of contact.

Zero-Flex Handle — Clean Contact Every Time

No sting. No energy loss. The zero-flex handle on the DDT Blackout eliminates vibration at contact, keeping every ounce of energy in the barrel exactly where it belongs — not in your hands.
