**MARUCCI CATX Composite BBCOR Metal Baseball Bat - 2 5/8" Barrel for High School & College Players - Perfect for Games & Training**

Finely tuned barrel profile creates a slightly more balanced design to help players generate faster swing speeds while maintaining larger composite barrels. S-40 composite handle helps to transfer more energy faster from player to ball for more performance, while the outer-locking system dismisses virtually all vibrations on contact for the strongest, smoothest swing yet.

New BARREL profiles more evenly distribute the mass of the ring-free, multi-variable wall design across the entire barrel for a WIDER, more consistent SWEET SPOT.

Tightened PRODUCTION tolerances allow BARREL DIAMETERS to be built to the MAXIMUM limit, creating MORE SURFACE area and HIGHER overall PERFORMANCE.

Our LIQUID-GEL DAMPENING SYSTEM uses a precise amount of LIQUID-GEL installed in the KNOB that ABSORBS VIBRATIONS, creating a SMOOTH and SOLID feel during CONTACT

AZR ALLOY offers a more RESPONSIVE microstructure for better FEEL, more FORGIVENESS, and more PERFORMANCE
