This model's construction and handle characteristics are worth comparing with other slowpitch bats before selecting a weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eX2A composite barrel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe supplier identifies X2A composite barrel as the key barrel technology. Cobalt blue cracked-grid graphics distinguish this two-piece version from the one-piece Gridlock Red. Composite barrel response can vary by model, ball and use. A particular exit velocity or distance gain cannot be guaranteed from design language alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSwing Weight and Barrel Control\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe loaded weight distribution affects how the bat moves through the hitting zone. Hitters who can maintain barrel speed and repeatable contact may appreciate the additional mass toward the barrel where applicable, but more end weight does not suit every swing. Choose based on the bat's feel and consistent mechanics rather than overall ounces alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHandle Construction and Hitting Feel\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis bat uses a MHT high-flex handle. The two-piece layout can provide a different handle response than one-piece alternatives. The preferred level of stiffness and vibration feedback varies by player.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel number: MSPGLCB2LU\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCategory: 240 NTS slowpitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: two-piece composite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBarrel: 13-inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTechnology: X2A composite barrel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwing weighting: loaded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle: MHT high-flex handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable sizes: 34 inches in 25.5, 26 and 26.5 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompare Slowpitch Bats and Learn About Compression\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrowse \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bigdawgbatrolling.com\/collections\/usssa-bats\"\u003e240 NTS slowpitch softball bats\u003c\/a\u003e to compare similar models and weight distributions.
