Combat Avarice 98 | 2013 ASA Slowpitch Softball Bat. 13.5 inch barrel. The Combat Avarice 98 | 2013 ASA Slowpitch Softball Bat has a Fully Loaded swing weight. 100% Composite. Featuring Combat's classic one-piece composite construction, the Avarice is the hottest new USSSA bat you'll find on the field today! The Avarice draws it power from an array of Combat technologies such as Anisotropic Composite Technology and Blended Fiber Technology. These technologies work together by blending Aramid fibers with carbon and glass fibers in a complex composite weave that enhances key parts of the barrel. This results in the optimized performance and extended durability that top slow pitch players demand from a top of the line bat. The durability of this bat is also greatly enhanced through Combat's Nanocomp Technology that uses carbon nanotubes to effectively fill in gaps between fibers. Also present in the Avarice is Variable Stiffness Technology that lowers the barrel wall stiffness on each side to create a MONSTER sweet spot! With precision molding and maximum performance weighting, the Avarice swings at the pinnacle of power!
