The Louisville Exogrid has been a popular baseball bat for the last three years. When introduced, it had a unique design that separated it from the pack. In the 2009 model year, with the reemergence of composite bats and introduction of hybrid technology, the Exogrid is no longer a novelty. Louisville is a strong proponent [...]
Easton has been the leader in composite bats for the last several years and will undoubtedly continue this trend with the IMX, their new 100% composite bats for 2009. Easton is extremely smart to their approach in manufacturing baseball bats by not putting all their eggs in one basket. They leave no stone uncovered [...]

What is a Composite Baseball Bat? Composite baseball bats are here to stay so know them, live them and love them. Stronger and lighter than high-grade aluminum, composite baseball bats are either made of a graphite-fiber composite material or have an aluminum core with graphite lining. The main advantage of composite is it’s lighter than [...]
So what is a hybrid baseball bat and why would I want to buy one? A hybrid baseball bat is a combination of composite and alloy material. The handle is composite and the barrel is alloy. Examples of 2009 Hybrid Baseball Bats include: Louisville TPX H2 Easton SV12 Demarini Voodoo Demarini Vendetta Demarini Vexxum Rawlings [...]
