Description

Anderson has raised the bar once again when it comes to alloy bats with the release of their exclusive KX Series. The future of alloy bats starts with Anderson, and it starts with the K Series RockeTech FP Fastpitch Softball Bat. Anderson has always been an industry leader in innovation and technology and the new KX Series takes that trend to the next level. Our patented Power-Arch Multi-wall Construction allows for maximum barrel elasticity to harness the energy present at contact, provide unrivaled performance, and deliver a solid feel throughout its life. The new KXTM Series Alloy is one of a kind and required a redesign of the bat shape to optimize Moment of Inertia (MOI). Optimizing the MOI makes it possible to swing the bat faster with less effort. The alloy has a greater yield value and added strength that allows a more responsive and larger Effective Hitting Area (EHA). The Ultra Thin Whip Handle and the SG-1 Sport Grip combine for added comfort with every swing. The Ergonomic Weldless Knob and Taper Flex Vibration System help to reduce sting after contact. The energy transfer efficiency equals better performance and provides the edge every player needs to compete effectively at the highest levels. Faster bat speed plus heavier overall weight equals surefire higher performance, every time. Anderson has always been a believer in "Game Improvement by Design", and that is definitely true with this bat. This bat is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty from Anderson. Free Shipping!

Pros: My daughter loved it! We got the bat a day before a big tournament and didn't have any time to break it in. Hit her first homerun right out of the box. Will never go back to Easton or Louisville again.

Cons: None

Pros: This bat is amazing! The ball comes off the bat hard no matter where on the bat I hit it. The sweet spot has fantastic power. No need to break it in like a composite bat, hits well right out of the box. Highly recommended.

Pros: My DD is on her 2nd RT. She prefers it over both the NanoTek and TechZilla. This bat has great pop out of the box. It won't break like the composites and hits just as far without a break-in period. There is no 'ping' when you hit with it, like most single wall aluminum bats have. Also, the customer service is like no other at Anderson. Great company, great people and a great product

Cons: This is a -9 end loaded bat. If you don't have a good swing, this bat will expose it.

Crazy bout the rocket tech

Pros: Amazing bat with a great sweet spot.. Better than my old 08' and 09' rocket techs...

Cons: Breaks too easily, not heavy enough outside aluminum. Dad ordered it the week before it came out and I recently have already broken two of them. I never used it but for games. It broke them on home run hits though..

Softball Phenom Mom

Pros: My daughter was an excellent hitter with the Anderson Pyrotech but she is now a PHENOMENAL hitter with the RockeTech (3rd in line-up) Serious POP!

Cons: Don't leave it lying around, people that know good bats will surely steal it. My daughter's was stolen.

OCL

Pros: Reasonable price, great pop, and swings fairly easily for an end-loaded bat.

Cons: Bat dented after a couple of weeks. Even though it's supposed to be a power hitter's bat, I would not recommend it for players that hit the ball really hard. My daughter now describes the Rocketech as "fragile".

Ricky

Pros: The Rocket is a great bat, not the first one I have owned. Lots of pop and I do like it better than the composite I have used. Handle feels a little thicker than the last one I owned, but I really like that.

Cons: Playing college ball means I play in some cold weather games in Michigan. Doesn't seem to perform so well in the colder weather.. I was surprised at the sting. I am sure it will be better if we ever truely get to spring time weather and 50 degrees

Pros: My 16 year old DD loved the right out of the package performance. If your the power hitter this one adds distance to your hits.

Cons: My daughter severely dented the bat in a game within three weeks of getting it. Love the bat but does not last like the old RockeTech did. Very surprising what one hit did to this bat.

Pros: Love the feel of this bat, which I actually use in slowpitch to hit 12" clinchers (I'm a girl). When I started taking BP all the guys were commenting how it had way more pop than the composites I'd been using. Might need a tiny break-in. Decent sized sweet spot (have felt bigger ones, but I'm not complaining).

Cons:

Pros: Great bat! Last year bought two TPS "composite" bats that were real duds. For the cost of those two bats I could have bought the Anderson and had a REAL bat. My daughters (16 and 13 years old) both play and this bat has really helped their hitting. Just about all they could get with the TPS bats were infield dribblers. Now they are hitting to the outfield. Absolutely worth the money!

Cons: None.

Anderson Fan

Pros: After purchasing all Anderson Bats from Pyro to Rocket (includes Nano), the Rocket is by far the best bat Anderson has to offer. Daughter hit over .700 w/slugging percentage over 1000 at Cat Ostermann. First weekend of use. Now her teammates want to use the bat.

Cons: None.

Pros: I recommended the bat to one of my slow pitch teammates for his daughter who plays FP travel ball. She had been struggling at the plate and couldn't find a bat that she was comfortable with. He bought her the 2011 FP RT and she immediately fell in love with it. Her confidence improved and she has become one of the best hitters on the team. There are several players on the team now swinging Anderson Rocketechs. It takes about 100 swings for this bat to break in, but when it does you will be very happy. It swings with a slight endload. I also purchased a 2011 Rocketech for my adult coed slowpitch team. The girls have fell in love with this bat. They have put down the composites and swing this bat now. It did take about 100 bp swings for it to open up but the time spent was well worth it. I highly recommend the 2011 FP Rocketech!

Cons: None!

Pros: endload helps swing through the zone faster, great performance! Sleek looks too!

Cons: It's not a NanoTek. I had bought this for my cousin, and she loves it. When I got her a NanoTek instead, she never went back to the RockeTech.

Pros: This is a very hot bat, much better than most Worth's, or Easton's. The only bat that comes close is the Xeno.

Cons: As some people have said it will dent.

What's the difference between the 2010 RockeTech and the 2011 RockeTech? Pete

The 2011 RockeTech introduces the Anderson's new KXTM Series Alloy. This allow allows for maximum barrel elasticity to harness the energy present at contact. This will give the bat solid performance and an excellent feel throughout its life.

Who handles the 30 Day "Proof at the Plate" returns? Teddy

All returns and exchanges within 30 days of purchase can be sent back to us or to Anderson Bat Co. This process usually works quicker to go directly through us.

Jeff

Can the Rocketech be used in cold weather. We often play in and around freezing temps in early spring and fall. We can't use our composites at these temps. Mark

Alloy bats can be used in cold weather. Composite bats should be used in tempertures above 45 degrees.

About the Brand

A High-Tech Engineer, a Sales Manager for a chemical company, and a Professional Yacht Racer with a background in mechanical engineering are not likely to have much in common. But they did, and still do. You guessed it…SOFTBALL.

Our passion for “Diamond” sports goes back many years, but it was about 10 years ago that we started manufacturing and private labeling our bats for other companies. In 1999, Steven Anderson designed a new multi-wall high-performance bat that featured our patented “Power Arch” technology. After thorough testing, it was ready for the company that we designed it for, but they were going through a transition period and were not ready to move on it.

Here was the bummer, our team was counting on using these bats in a big tournament that was just a month away and we could not put their graphics on the bats until the deal between the two of us was inked.

Steven offered a solution … they are already certified by the governing bodies so why don’t we put our own graphics on them and use them in the tourney. What a great idea and that is exactly what we did.

I was driving to the plant the next morning wearing my championship “T” shirt and had no idea that when I arrived at 6:30 am that the message machine would be filled and the phones would be ringing. The messages and the calls were all basically the same … “How do I get my hands on one of those new Anderson Techwraps”?

That is how it started, and since then we have released the FlexTech, FastTech, RocketTech, TechZilla, Pyrotech, and we are not done.

Let me tell you a little secret……THE BEST IS YET TO COME…GO DEEP, GO VERY VERY DEEP
