Louisville Slugger Select 716

The three-piece design separates the barrel and handle with a connection piece, which isolates vibration. This means you feel less sting in your hands on mishits while still getting a solid, responsive feel when you connect with the ball.

Because of its balanced swing weight and -12 drop, this bat is designed for contact hitters who want to prioritize bat speed and control. It helps younger players get the barrel through the zone quickly rather than relying on pure strength.

This bat is certified with the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp. You should check with your specific league or tournament director to confirm their current bat regulations, as some leagues have moved to USA Baseball standards.

The AC21 alloy barrel provides immediate performance right out of the wrapper, meaning it doesn't require a break-in period like composite barrels often do. It is also generally more durable and resistant to denting in cold weather conditions.

The TRU-3 system creates a slight movement between the barrel and handle upon impact. This creates a trampoline effect that helps maximize energy transfer to the ball while significantly reducing the vibration that travels up to your hands.
