Product Description
Customizable with our Barrel Optimization Service or CNC Bat Shaving, The CatX Connect, Marucci completely re-shaped the AZR Alloy barrel profile to offer a slightly more balanced swing weight when compared to the Cat9 Connect, with a wider sweet spot and a more forgiving barrel. That alloy barrel is locked into the composite handle by the OLS (Outer Locking System) Connector Piece. This connection system incorporates a threaded groove that internally locks the barrel and handle together. And then they complete the connection with the external sleeve that puts an extra hold on the connection point. The CatX Connect is also equipped with Marucci's new S-40 Composite handle. This handle is ~8-10% stiffer than prior Cat Connect bats, which will transfer energy faster from the batter to the ball resulting in unmatched performance! In addition, the CatX Connect includes a new custom-sized handle taper for a more ergonomic fit and improved bat control.
Our New Barrel Optimization Service is designed specifically for Alloy Bats in mind. Over the years, Alloy bats have proven to be a challenge in terms of break-in via traditional Bat Rolling techniques. Our Barrel Optimization Service takes Alloy bat break-in to a new level. This service is showing average performance gains on new bats in the 10-20ft range for most Alloy Barrel Bats. These gains are roughly 30% higher than what is achieved with Heated Bat Rolling alone. In addition to increased distance, you'll have a larger sweet-spot as well as increased durability. Adding this service to your new bat purchase ensures you will have the highest performing bat right out of the wrapper.
