Is this a brand new bat?

This is a 2018 model bat that is in wrapper from manufacturer and never been used, still comes with original one year manufacturer warranty.

Why is this bat so much cheaper than any other composite bat of the same size?

It's an older model that is on closeout, so that is why the price is a lot less. Used to be sold for $249.99 the year it was released (2018).

Can this bat be used in high school play? Like in all games and tournaments? Looking to get this bat for my JV/V team and just want to make sure it’s a legal bat to use :) thank you

This bat is approved by all softball associations and is legal for fastpitch softball in youth, travel ball, high school and also college play.

What is the difference between tct composite and hyperlite composite?

Without getting overly technical, the TCT composite is stronger and more durable than the Hyperlite composite. This allows for bats with the TCT composite to have longer barrels, while still keeping the swing weight feeling light.

Pros: This is the perfect bat for a young girl that wants a nice composite bat with a lot of pop, but also does not need a $300 to $400 bat (rolls eyes). My daughter says there was no sting in her hands after batting today at our training center. She was hitting the ball hard! Great bat so far.

Pros: Incredible bat! I didn't want to spend almost FOUR times as much on a Ghost. This bat is just as good for my 11 year old.
Cons: White got dirty quick, but it's a bat and it's supposed to get dirty

Pros: Bought this for my high school daughter to replace a bat that had popped. I was just hoping she could get some consistency heading into the end of the season, I was unsure about the -11 vs -10 which she had previously. It worked out, she hit 4 home runs in two weeks, she absolutely loved it. I was so impressed I bought another one a week later to have for the summer.
Cons: None

Pros: Great pop and sound. Itâ€™s more top-heavy than the alloy she was using, but thatâ€™s proving to have benefits with proper technique. Weâ€™re very happy with it.
Cons: What we thought was a con (top-heavy), is actually a benefit. The only other thing is the bad grip, but thatâ€™s hardly worth mentioning.

Pros: My daughter loves it. I bought her this bat after buying her a Rawlings Velo, saw the stealth was a good deal. So she got w new bats. Both bats have plenty of drive to them, I've tapped a few myself, popped me right out of the field! Solid, no sign after over 150 hits of any lessening of bat quality or loss of pop. It looks like it will hold up for the next 3 years of ball!
Cons: No cons

Verified Purchaser
Pros: I was looking for a new bat for my dtr to replace a broken FS3 with a lot of pop, mid season. She tried this bat a teammate had and she liked it. So far, this new bat has outperformed her old bat. It's no ghost bat, but for the price her hits are consistently hard line drives to the outfield for extra bases.
Cons: Not a lot of feed back on hits like a Xeno or Ghost on hits.

Pros: Great pop, great price, great bat Bought bat for daughter and 12u travel teammates to try out. Great bat to show difference between composite and solid bats without high price tag. Drop 11, nice mix of balance and bat length for younger and developing hitters who are facing faster pitchers for first time.
Cons: None as if yet, I do question durability of hand grip.

Pros: Got this bat for my daughter who plays travel and pony league for 12u. She loves it. Says it has lots of pop. Only had it a month but she’s hitting harder and further than before. First day went through 4 buckets of balls and she could tell the difference.
Cons: The only con is I bought the drop 11 and now I’m thinking could have gone with a drop 9 or 10.

Pros: Great pop, my 8 year old hits solid with this bat every at bat. Didn’t want to spend too much since she’s growing so fast but her cheap academy and hibbett bats stung her hands and just didn’t have a lot of punch so definitely worth the price. I’d buy this bat again.
Cons: We’ve been using it for spring and fall ball with no complaints
