WHAT’S NEW? STRATO 2 

NEW WALL-THICKNESS PROFILE 

With Strato 2 we have repositioned and extended the wall thickness profile. You get the highest maximum BBCOR performance profile, and extended longest sweet spot, along with the fastest and lightest swing weight. This is a hitter's dream come true. 

NEW POWER HITTERS SWEET SPOT  

This new wall-thickness profile has allowed us to create a NEW Power Hitters Sweet Spot on the Strato 2. The power hitter's sweet spot extends and optimizes higher performance in the power hitting locations on the barrel towards the end of the bat.  

NEW LIGHTER / FASTER MOI 

In general, the lower the MOI, the faster / lighter the swing weight of the bat. We have lowered the swing weight of the Strato 2 by 200 points, and it is now our lightest alloy BBCOR bat ever. 

NEW LOWEST COMPRESSION 

In general, lower barrel compression can coincide with more trampoline effect, and increased barrel performance. We have lowered compression in the barrel by up to 16% in precise locations, and an average of 11% across the length of the sweet spot. 

NEW HIGHEST PERFORMANCE 

In general, the higher BBCOR performance certification, the higher the bat performance. Strato 2 sees an almost 6-point (5.75) BBCOR increase in performance in the sweet spot location towards the end of the bat, and an almost 4-point (3.70) increase across the entire sweet spot. These increases bring maximum BBCOR performance to the largest location of any BBCOR bat we have put into a hitter's hands. 

WHATS NEW: MATERIALS & TECH 

NEW ARMOR ALLOY ULTRA  

Armor Alloy Ultra undergoes a special heat treatment to increase its strength and allow it to flex without denting or cracking. Armor Ultra technology takes barrel performance to a new level with the thinnest and liveliest sweet spot to date. 

NEW CNC PRECISION BARREL TECHNOLOGY  

Every millimeter of our variable wall alloy barrel is tuned for optimal performance and speed, eliminating unnecessary weight at every point on the barrel. The key feature of CNC Precision Barrel Technology is the grooves. The grooves allow the barrel wall to be as strong as a thick wall but perform and weigh as light as a thin wall. 

NEW COMPOSITE HYPERWHIP 2 CAP  

Sleek design and the carbon materials save weight at the tip of the bat for a faster, more efficient swing and larger barrel. 

NEW AXE HANDLE OPTIONS 

Axe Handle provides an even better connection and fit, so you can swing faster with more control every time up. This construction is available in the following Axe handle types: Pro Standard and Pro Flared Axe Handles.
