Louisville Slugger Slowpitch Softball Bat Features - New for 2012
Louisville Slugger has brought their premier technology used in baseball and fastpitch softball to their new 2012 line of Z-1000 slowpitch softball bats. This state of the art technology features their patented iST handle design, S1iD barrel design, and their upgraded composite grade known as LS-2X.
Louisville Slugger's iST joins the barrel and handle together and allows for maximum stiffness while still providing an excellent solid feel and massive sweet spot. The iST technology allows player to have a solid feel between the barrel and handle while still allowing for maximum performance even on inside hits.
Louisville Slugger's S1iD technology allows the barrel to flex to its maximum allowable performance fresh out of the wrapper. No more "break-in" period with this model due to the inner disc found inside the barrel. These inner discs allow the barrel to flex at the sweet spot, but stop the barrel from flexing past the allowable limit. Also, these inner disc allow for increased performance along the length of the barrel providing a much more forgiving bat with a large sweet spot.
The LS-2X composite material has been designed to be thinner, higher strength, and has a ligth-weight graphite fiber design. The thinner walls allow for more layers increasing performance while still allowing for an increase in the durability of the composite weave.
