No other wood composite bat looks, feels, sounds or performs more like a wood bat than this one. The two-piece Carbon Fiber Rod gives the Hybrid incredible durability while the maple barrel gives the sound, feel and performance of a true wood bat. By borrowing from two-piece BBCOR innovation, the Hybrid dampens vibration while allowing you to still feel whether you hit true. And the Rubbertech Coating on the handle not only looks and feels great, it provides a consistently firm and tacky grip on every swing.
