Cat Bats have dominated the USSSA scene throughout the past decade and Marucci anticipates keeping it that way with the CatX! Although it might seem tough to find any room for improvement from previous models, the CatX includes a few new features that will take your game to the next level! First and foremost, Marucci has increased the AZR Alloy barrel diameter by about 2.5mm to be closer to the maximum allowable limit. This increase results in a more flexible barrel and higher performance! Secondly, the CatX will be equipped with a Liquid-Gel Dampening Knob, Marucci's newest anti-vibration technology, which situates a precise amount of clear liquid gel into the knob to dissipate vibrations and sting.
