The CATX2 Connect features a monstrous 2 ¾” barrel diameter, perfect for generating game-changing power. Its drop 8 length-to-weight ratio provides a balanced swing weight ideal for hitters looking to crush pitches with authority. Certified by USSSA (New NTS Tested Stamp) for league play, this bat is sure to become a trusted companion at the plate.

For unmatched control, the CATX2 Connect features a ring-free barrel construction that eliminates dead zones and maximizes bat flex. The custom-molded handle taper, ergonomically designed for each weight drop, offers a comfortable, locked-in feel. The removable micro-perforated soft-touch grip provides exceptional tack and personalized feel for every hitter.
