2013 Rawlings 5150 VELO: YBVELO Youth

New for 2013! Velocity. It's what many swings are lacking, and often times it's not the fault of the player. Many bats are manufactured without swing speed in mind. Rawlings set out to solve this problem, and the result is the new line of VELO bats. Rawlings employs what it calls "the science of balance" to create a bat that not only has a remarkably balanced swing weight, but also a much lower M.O.I. (moment of inertia) than its competitors. This is achieved through weight isolation and a new Comp-Lite end cap. This new end cap allows the end of the bat to swing much lighter through the zone and helps players improve the mechanics of their swing. Using Rawlings' proprietary Bi/fusion process, the Comp-Lite end cap is fused to the barrel that is constructed from their premier 5150 Alloy. Regarded as one of the superior alloys on the market, Rawlings' 5150 Alloy has been formulated for higher strength and increased flex to give it the ultimate combination of durability and trampoline effect. 5150 Alloy is a huge part of why Rawlings bats consistently perform at the maximum allowable level by today's standards. Rawlings: The New Standard of Speed! The 5150 VELO is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and features the new USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
