CLOSEOUT Combat Backbone Wood Composite BBCOR Baseball Bat -3oz BACKAB1

Wood done right!  The Combat Backbone offers the performance of a traditional wood bat while keeping it cost-effective. Combat spent two years designing the Backbone baseball bat. Combat engineers insert a high strength composite insert (the "Backbone") in the middle of the bat and surrounded it with durable hard wood in a traditional 271 wood baseball bat turning model.  The Combat Backbone Adult Baseball Bat also uses an "unbreakable" composite handle with a rock hard maple barrel plus a composite backbone cylinder down the middle of the entire bat. It does not get any better than this. The newly created Combat Backbone baseball bat has been designed from the ground up. Built to behave just like a wood bat, but to last much longer, and to use much less of the world's diminishing supply of high quality hard wood. Simply put, this baseball bat combines an unbreakable composite handle with a rock hard maple wood barrel. This is a tremendous improvement over the current practice for making wood bats. As it is, wood bats are not strong. On average at least one wood bat breaks in every high school baseball game. The Combat Backbone combines a wood barrel with a composite handle, giving you added strength beyond a simple wood bat. The breakability of typical wood bats makes using a low cost bat an expensive proposition. Almost all wood bats break either in the handle or in the taper. The Combat Composite Backbone uses a high strength composite backbone that runs the length of the entire bat (thus, the name). This high strength backbone in the bat means it will last longer than any other wood bat, while simultaneously saving more trees, and saving our customers money. It also means the bat is more likely to stay in one piece if it does break, making the game safer for players. The Combat Backbone adult baseball bat is BBCOR Certified.

  • Review by: Andy
  • Pros: the bat wont break completely. nice small handle. great look.
  • Cons: the connecting piece between the barrel and handle broke after 2 games (it would not stay in place it would slide around) the break of the connecting piece showed how the 2 parts were put together with some sloppy glue work, shortly after the connecting piece broke cracks started developing in the bottom half of the barrel, if you hit the ball off the handle it isnt going to go anywhere because of how thin it is.
