Our Review

The Mint Militia is a limited-edition colorway in Combat's Spec CR1 slowpitch line — only 250 were made, each individually numbered. Under the flashy mint-and-pink finish it's a serious bat: a one-piece composite built with Combat's Triple Barrel Composite construction and a balanced 12.5-inch barrel, certified for USSSA, NSA and ISA. The triple-barrel design is engineered to be hot out of the wrapper and to hold up to heavy use without losing pop. The balanced swing weight and 12.5-inch barrel make this a control-first bat — quick through the zone and easy to square up, which suits contact and gap hitters more than max-distance bombers. The one-piece construction gives a stiff, connected feel, and Combat's tacky Clinch Spec grip helps with bat control. The 12.5-inch barrel is shorter than a 13-inch model, so the sweet spot is a touch smaller. As a limited run it's as much a collector's bat as a gamer, but for a balanced hitter who lands one, it's a legitimately strong-performing boutique option.
