Advanced Technology Features
Ultimate Fiber Compression (UFC) Barrel Technology
Engineered with our exclusive UFC Barrel Technology for enhanced durability and consistent performance on every hit. This advanced fiber compression process maximizes the sweet spot across the entire 13-inch barrel and ensures peak performance throughout the bat's lifespan.
Max Speed Handle
The Melee Max 3 is engineered with a smaller handle diameter to maximize barrel whip, resulting in your max speed with excellent control of the bat. The optimized handle design allows senior players to generate explosive bat speed while maintaining precision through the hitting zone.
Stick & Spin Barrel Technology
A tackified barrel surface that "grips" the ball on a cut swing, spinning the ball faster for a higher ball trajectory and max distance on your blast! This innovative technology gives senior hitters the edge they need for crushing towering home runs and gap-to-gap line drives.
OPTI-DURA Performance Composite
Aerospace-grade carbon fiber combined with Suncoast's proprietary manufacturing process results in max performance and durability—hit after hit. The advanced composite construction withstands the rigors of competitive senior slowpitch softball while maintaining consistent pop.
Why Choose the Melee Max 3 13"?
13-Inch Barrel Advantage
The 13-inch barrel provides an even larger sweet spot than the 12-inch version, giving you more barrel surface area for consistent, powerful contact. Ideal for senior power hitters who want maximum forgiveness and devastating exit velocities.
End Loaded for Maximum Distance
The end loaded design concentrates weight toward the end of the barrel, creating maximum momentum through the hitting zone. Perfect for senior players with above-average swing speed who want to drive the ball deep and rack up extra-base hits.
2-Piece Construction Advantages
The 2-piece design offers a smoother feel, reduced vibration on mishits, and less sting in the hands—essential for senior players who want maximum comfort without sacrificing power. The enhanced flex also generates additional whip through the zone.
Pro-Endorsed Performance
Signed by elite senior slowpitch players Paul Gilligan and Rob Roop, the Melee Max 3 13" is trusted by pros who compete at the highest levels and demand nothing but the best.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 13" and 12" Melee Max 3?
The 13-inch barrel version provides a larger sweet spot and more barrel surface area compared to the 12-inch model. The 13" is ideal for senior players who want maximum forgiveness and a slightly longer barrel. Both feature the same UFC barrel technology, OPTI-DURA composite, and 2-piece end loaded construction. The 13" is signed by Paul Gilligan & Rob Roop, while the 12" is signed by Arturo Ramos & Toby Letak.
Is the Melee Max 3 13" legal for SSUSA senior leagues?
Yes! The 2026 Suncoast Melee Max 3 13" is SSUSA certified for senior slowpitch softball. It also carries NSA and ISA approvals. Always verify your league's current bat regulations before purchasing.
What weight should I choose for the Melee Max 3 13"?
Weight selection depends on your swing speed and strength. The Melee Max 3 13" is available in 25oz, 26oz, 27oz, 28oz, and 30oz (all 34" length). Senior players with above-average swing speed typically choose 27oz-30oz for maximum power. Lighter weights (25oz-26oz) work well for players prioritizing bat speed. Contact our support team for personalized recommendations.
