SHAVED and ROLLED -- 2023 Rawlings Mantra + Plus -9 Fastpitch Softball Bat. You do not see a lot of these out there shaved, but this bat is very hot. These bats have a very thin outer shell with a inner sleeve. On the shave, the sleeve is remove then reinstalled. Leaving out the sleeve will vastly reduce the durability of this product. Suggested shave spec is level 1 full service which should be plenty.
A mantra is intended to improve your mindset and focus. That was the strategy Rawlings used when creating the Rawlings Mantra+ fastpitch softball bat for 2023. Your game needs more force, pop, and personality right away. New innovations on the Mantra+ enhance both comfort and power at the plate. To begin with, the three-step barrel design of the Mantra is improved upon in the Mantra+. To achieve more consistent performance with each swing, we developed the inner barrel with hyper-precision molding. Additionally, the outer barrel layers have an impact-toughened resin that results in less compression and uniformly adjusted wall thickness. You'll consequently produce more power, have greater consistency, and keep a fluid feel during each swing. The Mantra+ additionally includes a new PowerSync connection joint that further lowers vibration while transmitting all that energy from your swing directly into the barrel in order to increase your power and feel on mishits.
