The Coach's Review of the
Louisville Slugger CATALYST™ TPS
Models - FP81C (-10), FP82C (-9), FP83C (-8)
Fastpitch Softball Bat

The Louisville Slugger Catalyst™ TPS (models FP81C (-10), FP82C (-9) and FP83C (-8)) is one of the more poplular bats around and is used by many top collegiate softball teams across the country including the 2007 NCAA Champion: The University of Michigan.

The Louisville Slugger Catalyst™ TPS is a one-piece design that uses Louisville Slugger's X-1 Composite Technology, creating a high performance, strong and durable bat. Players get very enthusiastic when talking about the Louisville Slugger Catalyst™ TPS' big "sweet spot" and how the ball jumps off the bat.

Which model? The choices of Louisville Slugger Catalyst™ TPS, models FP81C (-10), FP82C (-9) and FP83C (-8) are very personal. The lower drops (--9 and -8) bats are for stronger, more powerful players while the -10 drop still makes the Louisville Slugger Catalyst™ TPS a good choice for smaller, less strong players who need a lighter bat to maximize quick bat speed..

Finally, the Louisville Slugger Catalyst™ TPS comes with a synthetic grip for a tackier feel - it feels very comfortable in the batters' hands with little "sting".

Bottom line: The Louisville Slugger Catalyst™ TPS is one of the best quality Fastpitch Softball Bats on the market today!
