- VIRSP5-RB - Adult Slowpitch Softball Bat - New for 2012
(PMT) PRECISION MOLDING TECHNOLOGY
Combat’s exclusive Precision Molding Technology uses
precision computer-controlled machine–hardened steel tooling to
precisely control both outer and inner bat barrel diameters.
Combat maintains tolerances of less than 1/1000 of an inch,
which allows Combat’s engineers to design barrel wall
thicknesses to maximize barrel trampoline and bat performance.
(BFT) BLENDED FIBER TECHNOLOGY
Combat's patented Blended Fiber Technology blends several
different fiber types in varying proportions at carefully
controlled angles. They take advantage of the best qualities of
each with the whole becoming much greater than the sum of its
parts. Carbon fibers are ultra-light and have phenomenal
stiffness. Combat's designers use carbon to optimize the flex
and dynamic response of their bats. Glass fibers are very
strong, yet flexible. This resilience is used to get more
trampoline effect out of their barrel walls without sacrificing
durability. Their engineers use its incredible toughness and
vibration absorbing properties to enhance the soft feel of their
bats.
(VST) VARIABLE STIFFNESS TECHNOLOGY
(VST) Combat’s Variable Stiffness Technology allows Combat
engineers to design lower barrel wall stiffness on both sides of
the normal sweetspot, resulting in an enlarged sweetspot area by
which maximum bat performance or hit distance is achieved.
(NTI) NANOCOMP TECHNOLOGY INSIDE
The strength and durability of Combat’s all composite bats are
enhanced by Nanocomp Technology Inside (NTI) and Combat’s
proprietary tough liquid resin/dry fiber composite material
system.(NTI) Combat’s Nanocomp Technology Inside reinforces
fibers and resin at the nanoscale level throughout Combat’s
proprietary tough liquid resin, effectively filling all
relatively low strength microscopic gaps between fibers which
results in a dramatic increase in bat strength and durability.
(SBT) SEPARATION BARRIER TECHNOLOGY
Combat’s patented Separation Barrier Technology (SBT) allows
brand new bats to exhibit maximum performance and feel, right
off the rack with no break-in period necessary—Hot Out of the
Wrapper. (SBT) Combat’s patented Separation Barrier Technology
results in completely free movement between Combat barrel walls
as manufactured, requiring no break-in period.
