The Axe Element is a 2019 model from Axe Bat designed for fastpitch softball players looking to compete at higher levels. While this bat incorporates a number of impressive features, as always with Axe Bat’s, the patented handle design steals the show.
Axe Bat recognized that perfectly cylindrical bat handles were a design born out of manufacturing ease, and not out of concern for the correct ergonomic needs of the hand to maximize players’ performance at the plate. This revolutionary new design provides superior comfort, faster batting speeds, and ultimate control so players can increase their batting averages and feel good doing it.
Aside from its game changing handle design, this bat also incorporates a HyperWhip End Cap to redistribute unnecessary weight from the bat’s tip for a faster swing. The Axe Element also uses a 1-piece alloy construction for optimal stiffness so you can make monster hits. This bat comes with a balanced swing weight, making it easy to control through the zone. Last but not least, the premium MX8 alloy barrel of this bat is manufactured using a special heat treatment process, which gives it a hot out of the wrapper feel, and explosive pop that will last year-after-year of use.
This bat is approved for play in all leagues and associations, including the USSSA, ASA, ISA, NSA, ISF, NCAA, and NFHS.
