Finely tuned barrel profile slightly balances the end-loaded design for faster swings, more surface area, a wider sweet spot, and higher overall performance. Stiff outer-locking system connects the S-40 composite handle to the AZR alloy barrel for power and performance, while dismissing virtually all vibrations on contact. Optimized Barrel Profile: more evenly distributed mass of the ring-free, multi-variable wall design across the entire barrel for a wider, more consistent sweet spotTightened Production Tolerances: allow barrel diameters to be built to the maximum limit, creating more surface area and higher overall performance Two-Piece Hybrid Construction: S-40 composite handle with AZR alloy barrel designed for powerPower Loaded Barrel: end-loaded, high M.O.I. barrel designed for effortless powerBalance Point: moved to slightly balance the end-loaded design for faster swings AZR Aluminum: responsive, durable alloy provides better feel, more forgiveness, and more performanceOLS Connection: one-of-a-kind design connects the barrel to the handle from the outside in, creating the stiffest connection available, while dismissing virtually all vibrations on contact for the strongest, smoothest swing yetS-40 Composite Handle: stiffer construction helps transfer more energy faster from athlete to ball for more performanceMulti-Variable Wall Design: expanded sweet spot and thinner walls for more forgiving off-centered performanceRing-Free Barrel Construction: allows for more barrel flex and increased performance with no "dead" spotsCustom-Molded Handle Taper: ergonomically designed for each weight drop for a better fit, more bat control, and a better overall feel between athlete and bat. Designed to be easily removable to fit athletes’ preferences.Micro-Perforated Soft-Touch Grip: soft and tacky grip for improved feel and controlApproved by NCAA & NFHS: compliant with NCAA contrasting barrel color rule 1-12-b-7 The CATX Connect comes standard with a gray 1.75mm gripGrip weight and manufacturing tolerances may cause slight deviation from the listed weight2 5/8" barrelBBCOR certified
