Cons: Only draw back is expected with v-grips- same spot on the bat when hitting properly, will shorted life time of bat, but it will outlast my daughter at this level going up in length and weight.
New for 2012! If you've ever dreamed about what it would be like to start ripping shots to all edges of the field and beyond, this is bat to own. The Mattingly Ripped fastpitch softball bat is the newest addition to this classic family of high performing bats. Made from Mattingly's MB5500 Atomic Alloy, the Ripped swings light and stays tough. The MB5500 Atomic Alloy is Mattingly's high-end alloy that blends an array of elements to create one of the hottest materials in the game! The Ripped employs Mattingly's increasingly popular Direct Power Transfer which maximizes energy return to the ball, giving players a noticeably more explosive reaction on contact! The Ripped also features Mattingly's patented V-Grip handle system. Developed by Yankee great Don Mattingly, the V-Grip is specially designed to keep knocking knuckles aligned and shift the bat away from the palm and into the fingers. This forces your grip to be in perfect alignment every time! Additionally, the V-Grip keeps the bat from turning in the hands during the swing, giving players maximum control. In recent field tests, the V-Grip was shown to increase bat speed, power and ball flight distance by an average of 7%! Swing speed is also enhanced by the TRU Balance Weighting System which ensures a perfect weight distribution from top to bottom. Mattingly: Be a Game Changer! The Ripped is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Is this bat composite?
Asked by Bri on Jan 01, 2012
No it is a one piece all alloy bat.
· Jan 03, 2012
Your expert said this bat has a traditional round handle. This is not correct - this grip has a V-grip
Asked by rod on Nov 17, 2011
This bat does, in fact, have a V grip. Thanks for the correction.

Asked by joan on Nov 06, 2011
No. It has a traditional round handle.

Will going up in length, but staying at same weight, decrease bat speed? IOW... Will bat speed be reduced if a girl goes from a 30"-10 to a 32"-12?
Asked by Coach K on Oct 04, 2011
The longer length of the bat might slow down bat speed slightly. But shouldn't be dramatic since you are keeping weight the same.
