Why Composites

Compared to aluminum, wood, and other materials used to make bats, composite materials (carbon, glass and Kevlar fibers embedded in a plastic resin) are lighter, stiffer and stronger.

Of most importance, unlike bats made of other materials, composites are anisotropic which means bats can be designed to have different stiffnesses and strengths in different directions.

The anisotropic property of composite materials allows Combat bat designers the opportunity to increase stiffness along the handle (reducing vibrations and reducing sting) and to decrease stiffness along the barrel (increasing “trampoline” effect and thus improving bat performance), resulting in Combat all composite bats with optimal performance and feel.

Further, composite bats can be designed for a wide selection of Combat® Swingweights.
