Pros: I have bought several other big $$$ bats with big names over the years for my daughters. No other brand has the POP that Anderson has. Balls just fly farther!

Cons: The knob on the end is much smaller than every other brand. I recommend buying the knob wrap from thier web site.

New for 2012! Designed for power and durability, the RockeTech is THE bat to own if you're a softball enthusiast. Anderson's design and use of high performance materials deliver superior performance that will maintain a solid feel throughout the bat's life. This is due in part to the new all-metal, multi-wall alloy used on the RockeTech. Anderson abandons conventional thinking when it comes to the multi-wall by introducing Internal PowerArch Technology to the RockeTech. This technology incorporates an arched interior sleeve design to generate maximum legal performance and an optimized moment of inertia (MOI). An lower MOI allows players to swing faster, which results in more power behind every swing! The RockeTech also features a TaperFlex Contour and TrueFlex End Cap that both aid in vibration reduction. Both of these integral parts also strengthen the barrel and keep energy locked in. Holding it all together, Anderson's Grooved Assembly System locks and fortifies the shell, sleeve, and end cap, providing increased barrel elasticity and superior durability. With an ultra-thin whip handle, SG-I Sport Grip, and weldless ergonomic knob, the RockeTech feels better in your hands than any bat ever has. Anderson: Manufactured With Pride in the U.S.A.! The RockeTech is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: The best Bat EVER! Has all of the POP you can imagine. Helps with those big hits teams need

Cons: NOTHING! Well unless all you do is bunt then it is like a grounder, but who needs to bunt if you can hit?

by Coach dad - Nov 03, 2011

Pros: This bat is well worth it. Has wonderful pop out the box. My daughter is a power hitter and once used the synergy which she loved but now has chosen the rocket tech as her number one bat now. She is a 10 year old that has hit a 200 ft fence twice without a bounce I am sure that she will soon get it over with this bat. Thank you technology. I recommend for power hitters.

Ask Question

26420

My daughter is 15 years old and is 5 ft. tall weighs 110 lbs. What bat size and weight do you recommend?

Based on her height and weight, a 31 inch model would be recommended. Weight of the bat comes down to how strong she is, hitting style, and what size bat she is currently using. A weight around 21 ounces would be most common.

25820

How does the 2012 bat differ from the 2007?

There have been a few minor changes. Since 2007, Anderson had upgraded the endcap to help reduce vibration and they have given it a new grip to help improve the overall feel.

25770

How much does this 2012 version differ from the 2011?

The 2012 and 2011 RockeTech bats will be similar in material, design and weight distribution. Nothing has really changed.

25049

Is the bat end loaded?

The 2012 Anderson RockeTech is slightly end loaded.

24529

How does it hold up in colder weather?

It is really recommended not to use any bat in temperatures around 50 degrees or lower. However, since this bat is alloy it can withstand colder temperatures a little bit better than composite materials.

23340

My daughter is 11 years old, and is around 5" tall and weighs about 85 pounds. What size bat do you recommend? Thanks.

Based on your daughter's height and weight, we recommend a 31" 21oz bat.

22497

My daughter is 13 years old 5' 7" 160lbs power hitter. What size bat do you recommend?

Based on your daughter's height and weight, I would suggest going with a 33" bat. If you need more help in trying to select the right size of bat for your daughter, feel free to use our bat coach feature located on our web page!

21808

My daughter is 12 years old 5'2" and 105 lbs. What size RockeTech would you recommend?

Based on her height and weight we recommend a 32" bat.

21734

My daughter is 14 5'11" about 120lbs. She is a power hitter. what size RockeTech do you recommend?

With her height, and given the fact that she is a strong, power hitter, I think a 34 inch RockeTech would be a good choice.

20372

Is that bat currently legal for USSSA play in 2013?

Yes. It has the new USSSA BPF 1.15 stamp. To see what it looks like, see the small product image to the right of the main image.

18349

is it end loaded or balanced?

The KRKTFP is a balanced bat

17981

This bat isn't showing up on the legal bat list for NCAA is that true or is it legal? I just bought it and I want to use it for college.

The new NCAA approved list will be coming out March 15th. This bat will be on the new list and is approved for NCAA.

17690

Will the 2012 RockeTech be on the approved list coming out on March 15?

Yes, this bat will be on the new list. This bat is approved for NCAA and High School.

17420

What is the model#.Daughter signed Nat Letter of Intent in Jan.Her old Rocketech is 3-4 years old.Want to get another one that is NCAA approved.

The model number on this bat is #017022. This bat is approved and will be on the new updated approved NCAA list coming out soon.

16751

How does it compare to the CF5 DeMarini?

There are actually some considerable differences. The Rocketech is a one-piece alloy bat with a multi wall barrel. The CF5 is a two-piece all composite bat. Both are very high performing bats, but it depends on what type of hitter you are. A stronger power hitter may have more success with the Rocketech, where a player who's not as powerful may have better luck with the CF5.

16108

Is this bat succeptable to the same damage as a composite bat if used in a batting cage (with yellow dimple balls)?

Yes it is. Since it is an alloy bat, the heavier, more dense dimpled balls could cause your bat to dent and decrease the lifespan of your bat. If possible, I would suggest using a separate bat for use in the batting cage that is the same length and weight of your current bat to help protect the life of this bat.

15306

What is the model # on this. I purchased a Model #017022 and is not listed on the approved bat list for NCAA Championships. Is this correct?

The model number on this bat is KRKTFP. The one you purchased is the same as this bat.

14121

Does this bat need to be broken or can i use it as soon as i get it?

This bat can be used as soon as you get it

14011

Does Anderson still do the Proof Is At The plate offer? I did not see it on the Anderson website.

No, Anderson no longer offers the Proof At the Plate program anymore.

11546

How does this one compare to the 2004 model? The '04 model was a very nice hot bat and lasted.

They have not really changed much more than graphics in numerous years. Why alter what works?

11473

Rocketech or nanotech ? my daughter is 13 and a power hitter. not sure if she can handle a -9 bat. She is 5 foot 6 and 140lbs not sure which bat to choose.

Really, both would be excellent. The deciding factor would come down to the weight she can handle. If you don't think she can handle the -9 then I would go with the Nano.

10312

If I order this bat this week, do you think I will get it before Christmas? I live in Tampa, FL.

Yes. We ship very fast and orders arrive within 2-5 days.

9546

we have been using the rocket tech bat since the 2nd one came out we have had really good luck with it but the 2011 just didnt hold up it kept getting dents on it will the 2012 hold up better?

I had never heard of that issue with the 2010 models. Anderson is an excellent company always striving to be better.

8114

how long and whats the weight on this bat

Depends on the length and weight you need. But it is a -9 length to weight ratio, for instance a 32" would be 23ounces.

7775

My daughter tried a composite bat didn't have much luck she has a Easton aluminum bat does a lot better. Does this bat have the pop I'm looking for? She is 15 years old playing high school fast pitch. I think I want to stay with a metal bat what is your opinion?

This will be a great aluminum bat with plenty of pop.

7741

Is the 2012 more end loaded than the 2011? I see where you said it is the same bat, but reviews on other sites say that the 2012 "feels" more endloaded than the 2011, even though I can't find anything stating that it truly is.

To be honest, it is hardly noticeable. I've heard a few customers say it feels a little more end-loaded, but I've talked to others who say they haven't noticed a difference. Anderson says the weight distribution and balance should be close to the same.

7405

My daughter has use the RockeTech for 3 years - she is do for a new bat - should she stay with a new RockeTech or is the NanoTek better

If she has has good luck with the RockeTech, I'd stay with what she feels most comfortable with.
