The player reaction to the Axe Flared Handle in testing has been extremely positive. Our longtime Axe fans have no reason to switch, but for anyone who has been skeptical of the Axe Handle in the past, getting their hands on this has been an eye-opening experience. We are confident that even these subtle Axe additions have a massive benefit over round knobs and we are eager to share them with anyone who hasn’t found their handle with us yet. This might just be the answer and we’re grateful for the honest critique and collaboration that’s made it possible for us to create it.

After years of industry evolution, through thick and thin, it’s been proven time and again that one-piece alloy BBCOR bats are here to stay.

Offering low swings weights, extremely high barrel performance, and responsiveness that many players prefer, there are many good reasons to stick with a one-piece alloy construction, despite the tangible upgrades in tech offered by two-piece models.

The Avenge Pro Hybrid features the BBCOR debut of Axe Bat’s newest barrel technology: Precision Variable Blastwall.

Utilizing proprietary manufacturing technologies, our aluminum barrels are machined via CNC lathe to meet tolerances not previously possible. All 14-16” of barrel (dependent on bat length) is machined to tolerances as tight as 0.05mm – all to meet the peak performance players are accustomed to when stepping into the box with the industry’s newest hybrid in their hands.

Every size of each Avenge Pro Hybrid model is modeled via computer aided design (CAD) software to not only create product drawings and specifications for manufacturing, but more importantly, to simulate both weight and moment of inertia (“MOI” or “swing weight”) calculations before a bat barrel is ever created.  This allows our engineers to iterate countless times via CAD to ensure products are meeting specifications prior to manufacturing.
