Description

Specially designed for players in single wall alloy leagues, RIP-IT guarantees that the Reaper is the best alloy ASA bat on the market today! The Reaper employs RIP-IT's popular Beyond Composite Technology (BCT) that feels and sounds like composite, but is guaranteed to outperform composite bats by 3%! The BCT system uses Advanced Tempered Ballistic Alloy in a bonded-layer system where layers are chemically fused together to create unparalleled strength and durability. BCT does not require players to break in their bat so you can be sure that the Reaper will be smokin' hot right out of the wrapper! The Reaper features a one-piece design with a slight endload to give the hitter a little extra behind every swing, resulting in increased power and performance. With a vibration dampening memory foam grip, swinging the Reaper feels as good as it performs. The end result is an ASA bat with more POP and longer life than any composite bat on the market. When performance matters, just RIP-IT! The Reaper REAP8 is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, ISA, NSA, and Single Wall Alloy Leagues. The Reaper comes with a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty and a 30 Day "Love It or Return It" Performance Guarantee through RIP-IT. Free Shipping!

how does this bat stand to a steel? MC

Is this bat considered aluminum or composite? oneils
The 2012 RIP-IT Reaper Single Wall Alloy: REAP8 Slow Pitch bat is considered to be a single wall alloy design. You will often hear alloy and aluminum referred to as one in the same. Alloy simply refers to 2 or more mixtures of metal and will have the same performance and durability as aluminum.

I have not being playing softball very long. What's the difference between a single wall bat and double wall bat? wolly
The double wall has multi layers of alloy, making it more durable. A single wall alloy is one layer of alloy and normally provides more of a trampoline effect.
