Combat has taken its best performing bat ñ the Virus - and added a new technology that not only improves the performance, but gives it an appearance unlike any other bat in softball.
Gear Technology is a new design that puts grooves in the taper - a cut-away of the GT taper would show a gear-like outline - and makes it "softer," allowing the sweet spot to run down more of the barrel.
In addition to Gear Technology, the Gear Virus has all the features of the original Virus: Precision Molding Technologyís extremely tight tooling tolerances of +/- .0005-inch allow for wall thicknesses that maximize trampoline (hoop) flex; Separation Barrier Technology allows movement between the barrel walls for hot-out-of-the-wrapper performance; Anisotropic Composite Technology allows for ultra soft feel; Variable Stiffness Technology reduces stiffness on both sides of the sweet spot allowing for fewer mis-hits; Nanocomp Technology enhances the carbon fiber/resin combination making it more durable than composites without it; and Swingweights Technology, including Foam Core which uses a solid foam core in so lighter bats, offers the widest selection of weights and loads in the game - 100% composite bat with maximum BPF 1.20 and 100+ mph performance. 11-inch barrel, thin handle with synthetic grip tape.
Available in 34-inch and 26, 27, 28 and 30 ounces.
Across the board are reviewers felt that this Combat Gear Virus is the absolute best bat Combat has ever produced. The unique look and comfortable grip made this bat a favorate. Said one reviewer "This bat is winner, this is one of the most consistent bats I have ever swung this stick is hot out of the wrapper and that is no exaggeration." The Gear Virus was hitting balls well over the fence throughout our hitting session.
The Gear Virus flat out produced crisp line drives and whenever our reviewers hit it squarely the bat launched several balls deep well over 340 feet. Durability was simply not an issue as this bat actually improved its performance after several hundred swings.
Even our warning track hitters were getting an extra 20 to 30 feet in distance with this bat. The feel, the sound, and the weighting all underline the fact that this bat is an absolute winner.
Said another reviewer, "Combat has flat out produced a winner with this bat. This bat is by far superior to any bat they have produced thus far. If I were one of Combats competitors I would be looking over my shoulder at this company."
