The Coach's Review of the
Louisville Slugger MENDOZA COMPOSITE - FP86M
Fastpitch Softball Bat

The Louisville Slugger Mendoza Composite FP86M is a light-weight bat that is priced towards the lower end. With a -11 drop (length to weight ratio), the Louisville Slugger Mendoza Composite FP86M is another bat that enables smaller players to have good bat speed and bat control through the hitting zone while giving the batter a great peforming bat.

The Louisville Slugger Mendoza Composite FP86M is made similar to the more expensive Louisville Slugger Zephyr™ Composite FP85Z, featuring multiple layers of aerospace grade graphite and S-glass fibers which are embedded in a specially designed toughened epoxy resin. The embedding for the Louisville Slugger Mendoza Composite FP86M, however, is done in a different computer-designed pattern - the Louisville Slugger's C1C Composite Design. It has a feel that is similar to the Louisville Slugger Zephyr™ Composite FP85Z.

Finally, the Louisville Slugger Mendoza Composite FP86M ues a Synthetic Grip and patented End Cap that helps to damper the vibrations allowing you to have to the softest swing possible. This allows for a more natural swing without the fear of vibrations that alter your follow-thru giving you the most positive flow of power possible.

The bottom line is this: The Louisville Slugger Mendoza Composite FP86M is a lower priced, lightweight bat that gives great performance ("sweet spot" and "trampoline effect") and durability. But you have to try it out to feel the difference.
