Used for two months in prep for a Marucci only tournament. Son outgrew it.
The Marucci CATX2 is a popular line of high-performance baseball bats, serving as the successor to the CATX, featuring enhanced technology like a larger barrel (bigger sweet spot), improved anti-vibration systems (Liquid-Gel Knob, OLS connection), and upgraded materials (AZR Alloy for one-piece, MDX Composite for two-piece models) for better feel, control, and power across various models (BBCOR, USSSA, USA). It's known for balanced performance, durability, and a premium feel for players of different levels.
Key Features & Technologies:
• Bigger Barrel: A slightly longer barrel with a multi-variable wall design increases the hitting surface and sweet spot.
• Anti-Vibration: Features like the Liquid-Gel Dampening Knob (BBCOR) and Outer-Locking System (OLS) reduce vibration for a smoother, more comfortable feel, especially on mishits.
• Material Options:
• : A premium alloy with a special thermal treatment for a responsive feel and durability.
• : Multi-directional composite for an ultra-responsive barrel and easier break-in.
• Handle & Knob: Professionally inspired, custom-sized handle tapers offer better control, while upgraded knobs absorb feedback.
• Ring-Free Barrel: Eliminates dead spots for more consistent performance across the barrel.
Versions Available:
• : For high school and college players (2 5/8" barrel).
• USSSA: For youth travel ball (often 2 3/4" barrel, various drops).
• USA Baseball: For youth league play (various drops, like -10, -11).
• Connect: A hybrid model (composite barrel, alloy handle) for power hitters.
In essence, the CATX2 builds on the original CATX's success with refined features for enhanced feel, control, and power across all baseball levels.
