Description
TCT Thermo Composite Technology is the key to the MAKO's industry-leading swing speed, massive sweet spot, and pure feel on contact. This innovative material comprises both the barrel and handle which are united by Easton's patented 2-PC ConneXion Technology. By isolating the handle from the barrel with the connection joint, energy transfer is maximized while simultaneously eliminating any unwanted vibration. This model, being a MAKO XL, offers players with even more barrel than the standard MAKO - creating a perfecting end loaded swing weight for maximum power and distance.
The MAKO XL features a 2 5/8" barrel diameter, -8 length to weight ratio, new HYPERSKIN Performance Grip, and the USSSA BPF 1.15 Certification.
