This bat is constructed with a three-piece, all composite design—a composite barrel, and composite handle—which are fused together at the VCX connection point. This patented elastomeric connection design guards against negative vibrations and hand sting, for ultimate comfort and control when making big hits. Additionally, this technology creates a better energy transfer from bat to ball, so when you make those big hits, you’re getting the maximum amount of power behind the ball.

The barrel of this bat uses Louisville Slugger’s signature PBF barrel technology for hot out of the wrapper performance, and extreme pop. The giant sweet spot on this barrel in highly responsive, but also forgiving. DeMarini’s signature X-cap, designed with Louisville’s top of the line materials further increases the responsiveness of this bat’s sweet spot. This bat is extremely balanced and ultra-light weight for greater consistency.
