The Mantra Plus is a well-rounded performer for fastpitch hitters. It offers a good balance of power and comfort, with a large sweet spot, a pop that can help you clear fences, and technology that reduces vibration on contact. The Mantra Plus comes in various lengths and drop weights to cater to different player preferences and swing styles. Younger players or those who prioritize a lighter swing might opt for a shorter length or a higher drop weight version.
