Plus, the memory foam technology helps the grip mold to each individual softball player's hand. The raised ridge gives fastpitch softball players a secure grip while still keeping their hands loose. The Reaper BEST fastpitch softball bat has a grip that was designed for power-hitters. The Reaper BEST fastpitch softball bat gives power-hitters the best possible endload so they can control the bat, swing fast, and hit the ball as deep as possible. For power hitters, this means no decrease in performance from the bat flexing at the taper.Īll fastpitch softball power-hitters want a bat with just enough weight on the end so they can drive the ball farther, without sacrificing bat speed. The single piece design of the Reaper BEST fastpitch softball bat allows the bat to transfer the largest amount of energy from the bat to the softball at the point of contact. The inner layers are fused together using Beyond Composite Technology so every hit travels farther and feels great from the point of contact. The Reaper BEST fastpitch softball bat is forged from a single block of Advanced Tempered Ballistic Alloy, so it makes solid contact on every hit. The estimated date the bat began distribution.2012 RIP IT Reaper ASA Fastpitch Softball Bat -10oz REAP6 Hybrid bats are made of composite handles and alloy barrles. The types of bats are single-piece alloy (SPA), two-piece composite (TPC), single-piece composite (SPC), hybrid (Hyb.), and wood (Wood).
The price is the original MSRP price of the bat. We measure the actual swing weights of each bat we test using the industry-standard pendulum period, balance point, and scale weight. The industry often refers to this as things like End Load or Balanced but those words have been overused to the point of meaninglessness. This quantifies how difficult it is to swing a bat.
MOI or Mass Moment of Inertia is a measurement of bat swing weight. This is our chance to reward companies who are trying to innovate. (Tech) Tech Specs: We rate the bat on its technological advancements from previous years and compared to the industry at large. A resell value closer to its original price means a higher score. Higher prices mean greater user demand which means, generally, a better bat. (ReSl) Resell Score: Based on the price the bats go for used. (Drb) Durability: A bat’s durability is measured by user reviews as well as feedback from manufacturers. (Dmnd) Demand: Demand is measured by consumer sentiment and the buzz around the bat. Bats with a wider range of options get a better score. (Relv) Relevance: We measure the number of sizes and the MOI of the bat. (ExVe) Performance: Performance measures the exit speeds and distances we capture in our hitting lab with HitTrax using these bats. Those users include our own hitters that we test at the lab as well as reviews we find online. (PlaRa) Player Rating: We measure player rating from user reviews. Expect it to be updated as we learn more about the bat and gather more data. *: When a bat is denoted by a star (*) it is a preliminary rating. Half of total rating comes from the player and our exit speed tests (Player Rating: 25%, Performance: 25%).The other categories are Relevance (20%), Demand (10%), Durability (10%), Resell Score (5%), and Tech Specs (5%). The overall rating uses seven different weighted metrics to determine our overall score. The balanced hybrid is clearly designed for the one to three-hole hitters looking for line drive base hits. Overall we got exactly what we expected from the BBCOR 2016 Element Two: A balanced swinging hybrid that performs exactly like a traditional feeling baseball bat right in RIP-IT fashion.
The Element Two is clearly hot right out of the wrapper and, when hit right, drilled baseballs on the back of the net. However, the RIP-IT Element Two keeps its balanced swing weight despite the heavier alloy found in the barrel. Most hybrid bats (composite handle and aluminum barrel) in the BBCOR space tend towards an end-loaded design (see, for example, the DeMarini Voodoo Raw or 716 Select from Slugger). The barrel, although somewhat undersized compared to some composite performance bats, felt strong with consistent performance along its entire length. The composite handle and flared grip felt smooth on impact. We found that hitters with better mechanics tended to prefer the Element Two more than others-although no one walked away from the experience disliking the bat. We spent several hours in the cage with the 2016 Element Two BBCOR bat.
