Fastpitch softball is a competitive game and those who build the bats have plenty of competitive spirit too. Each year they produce better bats and then immediately start trying to outdo their previous efforts. The fastpitch bats available for 2011 showcase the tremendous commitment to quality and performance demonstrated by today’s top Fastpitch is My Gamemanufacturers like Worth, DeMarini, Easton, Miken, Mizuno, Louisville Slugger, Rawlings and Anderson.

The design and build of these bats is outstanding. Materials include advanced carbon composites and high-tech aluminum alloys that create harder hitting surfaces and those with more spring board action. New designs from DeMarini and Easton extend the sweet spot further down the barrel while those from Miken and Easton produce more whip-like action in every stroke. These are just a few of the many innovations that will enhance your performance this coming season.

DeMarini makes some of the finest composite bats in the world. They began using Silver Trace in their patented Pitch Black composite bats last year to stiffen the barrel and now their DeMarini CF4 ST series takes it to new levels. More Silver Trace produces their hardest hitting, most durable composite bats to date. The CF4 ST Insane redistributes the mass for an end-weighted feel power hitters love. See a complete rundown of the new DeMarini lineup right here.

Easton knows their way to the plate as well and there’s a lot to like for 2011. The 2011 Easton CV12 sports a lightweight IMX composite inner tube that is surrounded by an ultra-thin, ultra-hard aluminum shell. It’s a hybrid that offers the best characteristics of both and may be the hottest thing in diamond sports this season. Other new sticks include the 2011 Easton Rival XXL made from THT100 aluminum alloy and the one-piece 2011 Easton Synge that will vie for a spot in any team’s starting lineup. This is Easton’s most innovative step forward in a decade and should produce their best showing ever in the batter’s box. See everything in the mix from Easton this season here.
