Its -11 drop is designed to help a player maintain barrel speed without moving immediately into the heavier feel of a -10 version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Step Barrel Technology\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRawlings identifies its Three Step Barrel construction as a key feature of the Mantra Plus. The design targets a responsive composite hitting surface and a forgiving contact area. The best result still comes from squaring the ball consistently. To understand the process separately from the marketing claims, see our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/news\/how-many-hits-to-break-in-composite-bat\"\u003eguide to composite bat break-in hits\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eZero Loss TPU Collar\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Zero Loss TPU collar is positioned in the connected two-piece system to influence impact feel and energy transfer. Players comparing one-piece and two-piece fastpitch bats should pay attention to both feedback and comfort.

That can help hitters who are still building strength or prioritize fast swing adjustments; players who consistently handle the extra ounce may prefer the -10 for its different weight feel.
