A dream to swing. A nightmare to pitch. Rise technology brings a longer inner barrel for a wider sweet spot and a more forgiving barrel, and the -11 drop is the lightest weighting in the lineup, built to maximize bat speed for contact hitters. The new AV™ Knob is built for a smoother feel in your hands and on contact, and every length and weight drop is individually tuned to deliver consistent performance. The result is a bat that feels smoother, swings faster and delivers more consistent performance across the barrel — so you can step into every at-bat ready to rise. Dream higher.
