Revolutionary Louisville Slugger Exogrid Technology
One Piece Technology-Starting with a one piece bat made from ST+20 Alloy, the toughest avalable alloy. One piece, stiff handle technology combined with a flexibible barrel means maximum performance. Flexible handled bats reduce the trampoline effect by flexing.
Carbon Inserts-Metal is trimmed from the handle in a grid pattern to reduce overal handle weight. The metal is replaced wit h Carbon inserts that are several times stiffer and lighter than the metal it replaces.
Carbon Sleeve- For optimum stiffness, a carbon sleeve with unidirectional fibers are inserted than run the length of the handle.
Heat and Pressure-The final step is using a combination of heat and streme pressure, the inserts, sleeve and metal wall are bonded together to work as a singe unit. The result- a stiffness and strength never possible with aluminum alone.
Louisville Slugger TPX bats have been the bat of choice of the last 5 NCAA champtions and 7 of the last 8.
