| Model year | 2023 |
|---|---|
| Material | Composite |
| Construction | EKO™ Composite Barrel; GT1™ End Cap; 3FX-PWR™ Connection System; Premium LS Pro Comfort Grip™ |
| Drop | −3What this meansDrop is length minus weight: a 30 in, 20 oz bat is a -10. A bigger drop number means a lighter bat for its length. Younger players use -10 to -13; USSSA 13U is usually capped at -5; high school and college are -3. Tip: Check the drop your league allows before you look at anything else. |
| Barrel | 2 5/8 |
| Lengths | 32, 33, 34 in |
| Balance | End loadedWhat this meansExtra weight toward the end of the barrel, so the bat swings heavier than its number. For some players it gives a better feel for where the barrel is; whether it suits yours depends on how consistently they deliver the barrel. End load is not barrel size: some skinny-barrel bats are end-loaded. Tip: An end-loaded bat that feels heavy is the most common sizing mistake we see. |
| Sizes | 32/29; 33/30; 34/31 |
| Certification | BBCORWhat this meansRequired for high school and college: drop -3, barrel up to 2-5/8 in. From the 2028 season high school will also allow USA -4, -5 and -6 bats; 2026 and 2027 stay BBCOR only. |
