Ideal for power hitters, the fully loaded Gear Afflicted slowpitch composite softball bat from Combat delivers the Maximum Allowable Performance with state of the art composite construction technologies. The Gear Afflicted bat utilizes Combat's patented Blended Fiber Technology to increase bending stiffness and fine-tune the 2 1/4-inch barrel's trampoline response. Constructed with an optimal blending of carbon, glass, and Kevlar fibers, the Gear Afflicted Bat brings ultra-light and phenomenally stiff carbon fibers that optimize the flex and dynamic response together with strong, yet flexible glass fibers to get more trampoline effect out of the bats' barrel walls, with bullet-proof Kevlar for tough vibration absorbing properties to enhance the soft feel of the bat and deliver maximum power. Gear Technology--a special taper geometry consisting of elongated surface grooves with a gear-shaped cross-section on the bat's outside, provides a softer feel and greater performance on hits toward the barrel taper end while Variable Stiffness Technology lowers the barrel wall stiffness on both sides of the normal sweetspots, resulting in an enlarged Super Sweetspot Size where maximum hit distance is achieved. The Gear Afflicted bat delivers the largest ASA sweetspot in the industry and with a fully loaded barrel with a higher swing weight is a virtual weapon of mass destruction on the field. The Gear Afflicted's multi-wall design is hot out of the wrapper and ready to play. The bat meets BPF standard and is approved by USSSA, ASA, ISA and NSA. Backed by a 1-year warranty.

This review is from: Combat Gear Afflicted Fully Loaded Softball Bat (Sports)
I'm a female and I have been playing Slow Pitch softball for 8 years and have used many different bats. This bat has great pop, the sweet spot is forgiving and if you catch it just right it goes a long ways. Highly recommended.
