The two-piece composite bat is made with lightweight graphite layers in the barrel, which are designed to provide a trampoline-like effect. The bat is also stamped with the Batted Ball Coefficient of Restitution (BBCOR) logo, so it’s legal for high school play. Available lengths range from 31 to 34 inches with corresponding minus-3 weight drops.
