Description

New for RIP-IT builds their bats around the idea that every player should LOVE their equipment. That's why all of their bats come with a 30 day money-back performance guarantee. Love it, or return it... it's that simple. The new Prototype 98 slow pitch softball bat definitely makes it easy to fall in love. Designed and produced in the U.S.A., the Prototype is constructed from RIP-IT's high-performance alloy. Once you take your first swing with the Prototype, you'll notice two things: It is HOT out of the wrapper, and it's grip is more comfortable than anything you've previously put in your hands. This incredible feel comes from RIP-IT's Raised Ridge Vibration Dampening Grip that not only provides outstanding cushion and tack, but also completely eliminates sting from mishits. The 12 inch barrel on the Prototype is slightly endloaded to give players a little extra momentum, while keeping them in control. Expect this to be one of the best alloy bats you've ever swung. And if it's not, send it back. RIP-IT: We Love What We Do! The Prototype 98 is approved for ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF. It is backed by an exclusive 400 Day Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Chris P.

Pros: This bat is great out of the wrapper and outright lethal after a few break-in cuts! After 150 cuts the bat was cutting through balls like butter. They say that there is a slight endload, however to me it swings like a balanced bat. This bat will help you elevate your game to the next level.

Cons: It's a bit pricey, but the product is worth it.
