Living by your mantra gives you a clear mindset and direction for your life. We took the same approach in crafting the 2025 Rawlings Mantra Fastpitch Softball Bat! Our mantra for this bat was to improve comfort, increase power, and have a bold, sharp design. You’ll feel all three every time you step onto the plate. Inside the barrel, the 2025 Mantra features a revamped three-step design. Its inner barrel enhanced performance beyond the previous model's sweet spot, creating opportunities for more damage up and down the bat. Additionally, this bat has a thinner outer layer for lower barrel compression, translating to an ultra-hot hitting surface capable of producing elite exit velocities. For maximum potential, the barrel is made from an In/Tense Carbon Composite, or the highest-performing and most durable composite material. The result is a bat that allows for more power and consistency with every swing. The 2025 Mantra also features an improved ergonomic and lightweight feel, helping batters feel more comfortable at the plate while generating higher bat speed. Thanks to these changes to the Mantra, you can experience maximum barrel control in every swing you take. That’s why some of the games’ top players, including national champions like Jayda Coleman, love the new Mantra! Elevate your game with the 2025 Rawlings Mantra Fastpitch softball bat and live out your mantra to the fullest.
