Quatro Pro Softball Bats
The Rawlings Quatro Pro is a two-piece composite bat favored by serious hitters for its exceptional pop and balanced swing weight. Its performance is driven by Quatro Technology, which features a redesigned inner barrel for a larger sweet spot. The stiff flex collar reduces barrel drag and minimizes vibration, providing a solid feel on contact and enhancing bat control for accurate swings.
Key features include:
| Vibration Dampening Tech | Reduces the sting on contact with the ball. This can improve comfort and control during the swing. |
| Focused Flex | Reconstructed collar assembly for a stiffer, focused flex eliminating barrel drag. |
| Ultimate Flex Hinge | This hinge connects the barrel and handle. It’s designed to allow for more barrel flex during the swing. |
| Composite Barrel | Lighter than traditional bat materials like aluminum, allowing for faster swing speeds. |
| Flex Barrel Handle Connection | Increased flexibility can contribute to generating power and a larger sweet spot, giving you more forgiveness on off-center hits. |
Top Competitors
All three are two-piece composite bats with a large sweet spot. The Rawlings Quatro Pro prioritizes a powerful swing with a solid feel on contact, thanks to its redesigned inner barrel and a stiff flex collar for control. The DeMarini CF Zen offers a potentially softer feel with similar power potential, ideal for players who prefer more control and might be able to handle a softer swing. The Easton Ghost X caters to players who want power-hitting but need a lighter swing weight for control, offering a similar power balance to the Quatro Pro but with a lighter feel.
Progression of the Quatro Pro Softball Bats
First introduced in 2019, the Quatro Pro was released again in 2020. The upgrades feature a redesigned end cap to help bring down the swing weight and a new Lizard Skin grip that comes stock. Both years feature the same suspended inner barrel system with a focused flex connective piece.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| My 9 year old has used this bat for 3 weeks now and loves the pop. The bat weight is so balanced. |
| Bat took a few games to break in. Now, it’s got a great pop. My kids love this bat. |
| This bat has a lot of pop. My son plays travel and little league baseball so we are always struggling to find a good bat. This is definitely the best bat we have purchased. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Hit less than a dozen balls before the handle broke off. |
| The sound inside the disc is not right. When you shake the bat, you can hear the disc moving around. |
| Noticed a rattle right away. After hitting a couple balls into the net there is no doubt something wrong. |
Since the Quatro Pro isn't legal for most organized leagues anymore, it's a niche option with limited practicality for competitive play. However, if you can find a used one in good condition and you play in a league that allows older bats, or are looking for a hot bat for recreational play or batting practice, then the Quatro Pro is totally worth considering. The Quatro Pro was known for its large sweet spot and a balanced swing weight, making it a dream for contact hitters.
