SHAVED and ROLLED -- 2026 Louisville Slugger Genesis Matt Brady Maxload USSSA slowpitch softball bat. These bats are hot, but durability is not the best on these models, especially if shaving. This model features a 12" end loaded barrel with the new power X-coil composite. Overall, has a nice feel but does swing on the heavy side. Recommended shave spec is level 1 for optimum performance / durability combination
The Louisville Slugger 2026 Genesis Matt Brady 2PC 12” Maxload USSSA Bat is built for hitters who thrive under pressure and live for big swings. With a compact 12” barrel and a .75 oz Maxload, this Genesis is made for players who want to feel the barrel work—turning clean contact into game-changing results with a tight, aggressive hitting profile.
Built with SSP-PowerXcoil Composite, this two-piece construction is designed to break in fast while maintaining long-term durability and reliable compression, keeping the barrel hot and responsive through long seasons and tournament grinds. The Double-Wall Barrel System and patented XPND End Cap reinforce the barrel for explosive response and durability where it matters most, while the QWK 2.0 Connection System helps minimize vibration for a smoother, more controlled feel when you swing with full intent.
