COMBAT VIRUS Fastpitch Softball Bat

Manufacturer's Description of the
COMBAT VIRUS Fastpitch Softball Bat

Feed the Fever!

When the balls are coming in faster than the blink of an eye, you need a responsive bat with a long barrel, which will perform no matter where on the barrel the ball impacts. Combat's proprietary Anisotropic Design Technology (ACT) has created a barrel with such a soft feel that you will not notice the 175+ mph collison. Combat has maximized barrel length without sacrificing feel or performance. Remarkable.

Also includes Nanocomp Technology Inside (NTI) for added durability. Available in -10 and -8 drops in 30 to 34 inch lengths. Approved by all major associations including, but not limited to, ASA, USSSA, ISA, ISF and NSA.

Features

• Extreme Allowable Performance
• Extra Long Barrel
• Ultra Soft Feel
• Premium Priced

The Coach's Review of the
COMBAT VIRUS Fastpitch Softball Bat

The Combat Virus is a one-piece, 100% composite bat with an excellent feel when hitting. The Combat Virus uses Combat's Anisotropic Design Technology (ACT) which results in a soft barrel feel that causes minimal bat vibration and "hand sting".

With both -10 and -8 drops in longer bat lengths, the Combat Virus technology also is used to combine a stiffer handle with the soft barrel creating a nice "trampoline" effect for good performance.

However, the barrel lengths are somewhat short reducing the size of the "sweet spot". The Combat Virus -10 drop bats, the barrel is 9.5" on the shortest length bat and 13" on the longest bat. On the Combat Virus -8 drop bats, the barrel length is 14".

The Combat VIrus is well balanced and has a nice grip - a great feel.

Bottom line: The Combat Virus with the short barrels should only be used by more skilled batters. That being said, it is a solid choice for older players - the Combat Virus only comes in 30" to 34" lengths. Average strength players should choose the -10 drop while the -8 drop fits stronger players.

The Combat Virus Features:

• One-piece Construction
• 100% Composite
• Anisotropic Design
• Single Wall Bat
• Balanced Swing Weight
• -8 and -10 Drops (Length to Weight Ratio)
