Collection: USED Combat ring removed Spec A1s
Used Combat SPEC A1 Bats With Ring Removed
Shop our available used Combat SPEC A1 BBCOR bats with the internal restrictor ring removed. These bats have been previously owned and may show normal cosmetic wear such as ball marks, scratches, grip wear, or other signs of use. The exact condition, length, weight, and photos are shown on each individual product page.
The Combat SPEC A1 is a one-piece alloy BBCOR bat known for its lighter swing feel, stiff construction, and strong out-of-the-wrapper performance. If you are comparing the A1 with Combat’s newer two-piece model, read our Combat SPEC H1 vs SPEC A1 comparison:

What Does Ring Removal Do to a Combat SPEC A1?
The SPEC A1 contains an internal structure that affects how freely the alloy barrel can respond at impact. Removing that restriction can allow the barrel to flex more freely and substantially change its performance characteristics.

Because the SPEC A1 is an alloy bat, we do not advertise bat rolling as a method of increasing its performance. Alloy bats do not break in like composite bats do. We explain why in The 2 Biggest Bat Rolling Scams:

The same distinction applies to shaving. We do not recommend or perform traditional barrel shaving on alloy bats. If you are wondering why ring removal makes sense on certain alloy bats while shaving does not, read Should I Shave My Alloy Bat?:

Buying a Used Ring-Removed SPEC A1
Every bat in this collection is sold individually, so inspect the product photos and description for the exact condition of the bat you are purchasing. Availability, size, cosmetics, and previous use will vary from bat to bat.
Important: Ring removal permanently modifies the bat from its original manufactured configuration. These bats are intended for non-sanctioned use where modified equipment is permitted and should not be represented or used as compliant equipment in sanctioned competition.
