A -5 bat is heavier relative to length — more mass through the zone for maximum power. The -8 is a balanced middle option. The -10 is the lightest, best for younger or developing players building bat speed. The -5 is for strong, experienced hitters ready to maximize power output.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the Victus Beacon -5 composite bat need a break-in period?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Like all composite bats, the Beacon -5 requires a proper break-in. Hit 150–200 balls with real baseballs at 50–75% swing speed, rotating the bat a quarter turn between each hit. Avoid use in temperatures below 60°F during break-in, and never use with rubber or foam balls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Carbon Eclipse Composite technology?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarbon Eclipse Composite is Victus's advanced barrel construction featuring high-performance carbon fiber reinforcement encased in a protective, impact-resistant outer layer.
