2024 Marucci Cat X Vanta 1PC Alloy -3 BBCOR Baseball Bat. THIS IS NOT THE COMPOSITE MODEL. Finely tuned barrel profile creates more surface area, a wider sweet spot, and higher overall performance, while a more balanced design creates faster swings. Designed for a smooth, solid feel during contact by adding the optimal amount of liquid-gel in the knob to reduce and absorb vibrations like never before.
Homerun Derby Bats is the first and only bat shaving company offering a 2 stage barrel reconditioning service to 1 piece alloy bats without internal performance limiting collars. Our reconditioning service improves the hitting surface allowing slightly more rebound at impact. Expected gains from the service will be in the 10 range depending on exit velocity vs the same bat stock. Granted this is not a huge change in performance like what removing a restrictor can bring to an alloy bat or from shaving of a composite bat, but a few feet can make all the difference to someone who is on the fence line. Other added benefits from the reconditioning process is less vibration, improved feel and an overall stronger, more durable product. Also, the compression of the bat after the reconditioning marginally changes and will pass any compression check without issue and will not have any external cues of tampering.
"Reconditioned" does not mean this is a used bat that has been refurbished. These are all brand new, never used bats that go through a treatment process for increased performance. Any questions, feel free to reach out.
