Description

After years of producing the highest performing all-metal bats on the market, Anderson is doing things differently this season. The NanoTek design has been revamped and made into a two-piece alloy/composite hybrid. Don't worry though, many of the same technologies remain and many more have been added to make this NanoTek the best yet! The thing that really sets the NanoTek apart is Anderson's LaunchPad which gives this bat the largest, most explosive, effective hitting area of any bat in the game. LaunchPad is an integral blend of complex nano-metallic and aluminum alloys that are molecularly bonded to create a barrel structure that results in a single metal wall. The patented LaunchPad combination delivers more strength and pop than any solo material or combination ever tried. By elastically strengthening the hitting area, the LaunchPad gives players the most reactive barrel in the game... with no break-in period required. Every feature of the NanoTek is designed to provide the hitter with the ultimate in performance. From the TrueFlex End Cap and TaperFlex Contour that aid in vibration management, to the Ergonomic Weldless knob that provides phenomenal comfort, the NanoTek will exceed your wildest expectations about what an Anderson bat can do for your game. Anderson: Manufactured With Pride in the USA! The NanoTek is approved for play in Little League, Babe Ruth, Dixie, Pony, AABC, and USSSA. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pineview Coachh

Pros: I bought a 30/18 for my son and his team. We had only two homerun's before this bat and then had numerous homerun's after buying this bat. If you have a kid that is within 10 to 15' of hitting homeruns this bat will put them over the fence. We now have 4 of these bats and this is the only bat that we use on our team. We have a Briggade and it stays at home. Awesome bat.

Cons: I wish they made the 17oz in a 30 inch length. I would buy this bat tomorrow if it came out.

Anderson Fan

Pros: Is reasonably well balanced bat (less balanced than a Combat B4, more balanced than a CF5). This is our first Anderson bat, and my 8 year old loves his in 29/17. The ball carries well off this bat, and the line drives are real scorchers. 100% satisfied with my purchase.

Cons: Price. Silver color shows ball marks easily.

Pros: Great bat. The ball comes off the sweet spot really hot. I bought it 2 oz. heavier than my son's other bat. He is adjusting, however, when it hits, the ball is fast off the bat. Great grip.

Cons: So far nothing. I'm Just getting used to the balance and weight difference from the last bat.

John

Pros: I waited until the end of the season to write the review. The bat has more pop for the slower swing speed kids compared to the Easton S1. It is well evenly balanced you can't go wrong buying this bat. My son likes using this bat with slower pitchers and uses the Easton on faster pitchers. He has hit more homeruns with the Anderson than with the Easton.

Cons: None.

Hawks

Pros: This bat is awesome! My 10 year old son hit a 215 ft homer using this bat. I bought the bat wondering if I made the right choice as we were looking at the other big brands and it seems we did. He says the bat feels very light and balanced. He has the 32" 20 oz. moving up from the 31/19 he used last season. Ball jumps off the barrel.

Cons: None.

Good POP John coach

Pros: I have a team that consist of 7-9 years old. Honestly i purchased the bat at a discounted price, the grip was messed up. I re griped the bat and whamo instant gratification. I had never seen an Anderson bat before the team loves it. My son loves it. He does have more pop now in his swing and is consistently hitting hitting home runs and to the fence.

Cons: Everyone likes the bat.

Worth the price! AlohaDad parent

Pros: Bought it for my son, and he's loving it. He said the bat feels good in this hands, he likes the thin handle. He also like the balance on it. I noticed he seams to have more pop with this bat. He also has picked up some bat speed, and swings the bat more fluid. The best thing about the bat is he feels more confident with it in his hands, to me that makes it worth the price. He's only 7 but plays in the 9-10 division, so he need what ever advantage he can get.... Nothing's better then a great stick. He swings a 28" 16oz bat, and my son is about 4' 3" and about 48 pounds. On a side note, I gave the bat a 5 for durability. But with out him using it for a season, it's really hard to give a honest rating on durability.

Cons: The only con that I see is cost, but I think it's worth it.

What's the bpf on this bat? Is it a 1.15? Ricky
Yes, it is 1.15 BPF, it is USSSA certified and their requirement is 1.15.
Linda
how is this bat comparible to the new demarini f5 Just
The Nanotek is a 1 piece all alloy/aluminumn bat, where the F5 is a 2 piece hybrid with a composite handle/alloy barrel. They will hit quite differently. Most power hitters use 1 piece bats.
Linda
Is last years 2011 Nano tech OK to be used now for Little League usage for 2012? Mike
Yes, it has the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp on it.
Linda
Are these two bats legal in little leauge in 2012 Bomber
Yes, this is going to be approved for Little League in 2012.
John
Now that the bat is a hybrid can you still use it in cold weather? Dennis
Here at JustBats.com we always recommend that these bats at temperatures of 55 degrees and above.
Brad
If this bat breaks or is defective who provides the warranty; Just Bats or Anderson? jim
This bat comes with a one year manufacturers warranty. With that being said, if something were to happen to the bat, the warranty would be through Anderson.
Jennifer
What's the difference between the two Anderson NanoTek XP: NANOXP12 Youth bats on this page? One is $50 cheaper and says Launch Pad but models seem to be same. NBLittleLeague
The 2012 NanoTek XP is the 2012 model. The other one that's a bit cheaper is the 2011 model. Not much is different between the two, just that one is a closeout model, the other a bit newer.
Tyler
Will the NanoTek be approved for Little League play in 2013 as well? baseball mom
We are not aware of any changes in the Little League rules. As of today, the 2012 Anderson NanoTek XP is approved for play in Little League in 2012 and 2013.
Kara
Is the Nanotek weighed before decals or after? baseball mom
All bats are measured prior to paint and decals that are added to the bat.
Kara
Is the 2012 NanoTek XP a composite bat, or is any part of it? Why is it called a "Hybrid"? Was the 2011 version of this bat all metal or was it also hybrid? Will there be any difference in the feel of the weight between the 2012 and 2011 models? Anthony
The new 2012 youth Anderson NanoTek actually has a composite handle with an alloy barrel. The 2011 model wall full alloy. It will still have similar balance and feel.
Tyler
How would this bat compare to 2012 Voodoo in the -13 range for a 6 year old with a very very good swing? He hits very well, just needs a new bat and of course a little pop (power) would not hurt. peanut
The 2012 Anderson Nano Tek XP will be more of a balanced bat, better suited for a player with good bat speed. The 2012 Voodoo will have a slight end-loaded feel, better for a power hitter.
Kara
Is this bat a double-wall? Vinny
No, the Anderson Nano Tek XP is a single wall bat.
Noah
What's the difference between the NANOXP12 Youth and the 2013 DeMarini CF5 and the COMbat Pure Gear? Are they all balanced? abrown
The COMBAT Pure Gear is a one-piece composite design and the DeMarini CF5 is a two-piece fully composite design. The Anderson Nano Tek XP is a two-piece hybrid with a composite handle and alloy barrel. The DeMarini CF5 features a very balanced swing weight. Here is a link for further comparison http://www.justbats.com/compare/
Aubrey
Does this bat have the 1.15 BPF stamp on it? I know that it is USSSA approved but our league will not allow it without the stamp. Mike
Yes, the Anderson NanoTek XP: NANOXP12 Youth bat features the new USSSA thumbprint stamp.
Aubrey
If this bat breaks will I get a warranty? jjhomerun
The Anderson NanoTek XP: NANOXP12 Youth will have a full twelve month manufacturer's warranty.
Noah
What size bat should my son be using? He is 8 years old and 62 lb 4'3" tall. I was going to buy this bat, but I am nervous about all the comments about it denting. What do you think? SSam
Based on his height and weight we recommend a 28" Anderson NanoTek XP: NANOXP12 Youth. It is made of Anderson's top of the line alloy and is very durable and high performing.
Kara
In your description of the Nano Tek XP bats, it's stated that the 30" and 31" -12 bats don't have the BPF 1.15 stamp on it. Did they fix the problem so the bats now have the BFP 1.15 stamp on it or is it still missing the stamp? Thanks. d
The 30" and 31" Anderson NanoTek XP: NANOXP12 Youth do not have the new thumbprint.
Kara
my son is 9 yrs old, 4'3, 85 lbs...we swing bats all year long, (cages in the winter)... what size bat should he go with? bronx bombers

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
