Description

For those players that started with a small barrel COMBAT - you will not be disappointed in the all new Portent youth big barrel bat. For those of you that have never experienced the COMBAT difference, here is what you can expect: a swing weight that is right on point, a sweet spot that's almost not even fair, and zero sting/vibration. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. It all starts with COMBATs Localized Stiffening Technology that allows their engineers to lower barrel wall stiffness on both sides of the normal sweet spot, resulting in an enlarged Double Sweetspot area where absolute maximum performance can be achieved! The 100% composite, one-piece Portent utilizes COMBAT's Blended Fiber Technology that blends several different fibers in varying proportions at carefully controlled angles to create a composite material that results in both resilient durability and increased trampoline effect. Separation Barrier Technology also allows this bat to be HOT out of the wrapper! The Portent draws much of its durability from its Seamless Construction; meaning that there are not cuts or splices - just continuous fiber all the way around. Feel, Durability, and Sweet Spot. That's what makes COMBAT the preferred composite bat. COMBAT: For Players, By Players! The Portent is built to the new ASA standards and will make you forget anything you thought you knew about how HOT an ASA bat can be! The Portent features the new ASA stamp and is approved for play in ASA only. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Is this comparable to the Scott Brown 98? I have a Scott Brown and love it. What would you recommend? coddfish
This 2014 COMBAT Portent ASA: PORSP3 Slow Pitch has a very comparable design to the COMBAT Scott Brown 98 Gear Balanced: GEARSP4-SB. Both bats are balanced one-piece composite designs, but there are a few differences. The Scott Brown 98 was certified for a variety of leagues while this Portent is only approved for ASA. This Portent is also optimized to hit the newer .52 COR softballs that many ASA leagues have switched to. The Portent also offers higher quality composite and a 12 month warranty.

What is the difference between this and the new Derby Boys bat? Is this bat balanced or end loaded? ben
The 2014 COMBAT Portent ASA(PORSP3) and the 2014 COMBAT Derby Boys ASA( DBSP5) are both one-piece composite bats. The main difference is the Portent is balanced and the Derby Boys is end loaded.

How well will this bat perform using .44 core 375 balls? Also what about the .52 300? RutReturns
The 2014 COMBAT Portent ASA (PORSP3) will perform ok with these balls. We recommend using a bat that has both USSSA and ASA stamps on them. These bats well have great performance with these balls.
Kyle
I have read this bat is hot out of the wrapper, but does it have a break in period and if so how many hits? RutReturns
Yes the 2014 COMBAT Portent ASA (PORSP3) is hot out of the wrapper. We still recommend to break it in before you start playing in games. We would recommend hitting 100 to 150 balls of a tee or soft toss to get it broken in more.
