Overview:

The Icon is a 2-piece composite baseball bat, giving the hitter a great feel and optimal flex of the bat when swinging. Rawlings has incorporated several pieces of technology into this bat, including ZERO LOSS Energy Technology. ZERO LOSS Energy Technology is Rawlings' re-engineered and perfected locking joint that provides the hitter with the most durable connection possible. This creates a 15% stiffer and smoother transition from handle to barrel while eliminating drag. In/Tense Carbon Composite is also present on the 2023 Icon. This technology is a fully engineered and seamless carbon composite construction across the barrel to provide the largest barrel possible. Icon has Tuned Balance Performance as well, meaning that it provides the hitter with a slightly end-loaded bat and creates the feel and pop that every hitter is after. Lastly, Rawlings included their ZERO LOSS Collar to the Icon. This collar is an innovative TPU Collar at the connection point between the handle and barrel of the bat. This eliminates drag and vibration in the process.

The CATX Connect is a 2-piece bat, featuring an alloy barrel and a composite handle. The CATX Connect is an AZR Alloy bat which is a complex combination of thermal treatment processes to strengthen the alloy for a more responsive, forgiving feel. Marucci has also featured their Multi-Variable Wall Design on the CATX Connect, creating an expanded sweet spot and thinner barrel walls that are more forgiving on off-centered contact. The composite handle is Marucci’s S-40 Handle, which is a stiffer composite handle to help transfer more energy faster from player to ball. In a one-of-a-kind design, Marucci has also included their Outer-Locking System to the CATX Connect. This creates the stiffest connection available while dampening all vibrations on contact for the strongest, smoothest swing yet. A new barrel profile on the CATX Connect more evenly distributes the mass of the ring-free, multi-variable wall design across the barrel for a wider and more consistent sweet spot. Lastly, Marucci has included an ergonomically designed handle taper for each weight drop, allowing a better fit, more bat control, and a better overall feel between athlete and bat.

StringKing took the same premium alloy used in the best-selling Metal Pro BBCOR and overhauled the manufacturing process to create a better baseball bat in every way. Design, materials, and manufacturing work together to deliver elite performance. The Metal 2 BBCOR features an extended barrel and upgraded taper compared to the first-generation Metal. The longer barrel gives the Metal 2 a larger sweet spot. Including variable wall thickness at the sweet spot to help you get the most power and durability out of your bat, and a slightly longer barrel to give you the best chance to make contact. An elite bat doesn't help much if it hurts to swing. That's why we made it a top priority to redesign Metal 2's grip and grip wrap.

• One-Piece Alloy
• Bigger Sweet Spot Than Prior Models
