Axe L136F Fastpitch Softball Bat

The -12 drop weight indicates the difference between the length of the bat in inches and the weight in ounces. A -12 ratio means this is a very lightweight bat, making it an excellent choice for younger players or those who need faster swing speeds to catch up to pitches.

No, this is a one-piece alloy bat, which means it is ready for game use right out of the wrapper. Unlike composite bats, the LP1 alloy material provides a consistent, stiff performance from your very first swing.

The patented Axe handle is designed to fit naturally in your palm, which helps align your grip and promotes a more efficient swing path. Many players find it offers better control and comfort, especially when trying to stay through the hitting zone longer.

This model is fully certified for ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF play. It is widely accepted across most major fastpitch organizations, but it is always a good idea to double-check your specific league's current equipment rules before the season starts.

One-piece alloy construction creates a stiff, direct feel upon contact, which many hitters prefer for its reliability and durability. It provides a consistent response across the entire barrel, giving you a solid, predictable feel every time you make contact.
