NEW for COMBAT is dedicated to nothing less that "pushing the envelope" in all-composite bat performance and all weather durability. The new Scott Brown98 is a huge improvement on the original Gear. Found only in the Scott Brown98, this new bat sports multi-wall construction and separation barrier technology which allows completely free movement between barrel walls making this bat hot out of the wrapper. Durability of the Scott Brown98 is enhanced with the addition of COMBAT's proprietary Nanocomp Technology. Nanocomp Technology uses carbon nanotubes to effectively fill in relatively low strength microscopic gaps between fibers to dramatically increase bat strength and durability. COMBAT's Blended Fiber Technology and Variable Stiffness Technology. Variable Stiffness Technology allows for lower barrel wall stiffness on both sides of the normal sweetspot, resulting in an enlarged sweet hitting area. Also found only in the Scott Brown98 is Blended Fiber Technology, where Arimid fibers ( found in bullet proof vests ) is combine with carbon and glass fibers in varying proportions and precise angles to get more trampoline effect and absorb vibrations resulting in more energy transfer to the ball and greater distance. Combine these technologies with COMBAT's patented Gear Technology and you have the largest sweetspot and best trampoline effect in the industry. What this really means is, longer barrel lengths and lighter bats resulting in maximum allowable performance. The balanced version of the Scott Brown98 helps with a more controlled swing for the precision line drive hitter. This bat has the power, performance and feel that you are looking for. Scott Brown98 earns total Respect! "COMBAT, For Players by Players" This is a NO WARRANTY bat that can not be returned and has been price to reflect this no return policy. This bat meets the 1.20 BPF standards and is certified for play in the ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISF and the ISA. Free Shipping.

I want to order the balanced bat. will i still get considerable power out of the balanced bat?? I am a power hitter, but will I hit the same distance with the balance instead of the fully loaded one?
Travis
It's hard to say, because choosing between a balanced and end-loaded bat really comes down to personal preference. Personally, I feel I generate a little more power when using an end-loaded bat than I do with a balanced bat of equal weight. However, this isn't true for everyone. I know plenty of players who feel the opposite in that they generate just as much power, if not more with a balanced bat. I would recommend using an end-loaded and balanced bat in a game or practice to see which you prefer.
