Perhaps your slowpitch softball team didn't make it to the playoffs this year, or get as far in the last tournament as you had hoped for. You certainly don't want that to happen next year! The good news is, it doesn't have to. Don't let them off the hook. The answer to becoming a great team may be as simple as getting rid of that used slowpitch softball bat and getting a new one. I know, that may sound strange, but if you don't have the latest in slowpitch softball bat technology you're lagging way behind the other teams.Choosing a new softball bat isn't difficult, but it does take a little research. Don't just walk into Wal-Mart and pick up a $20 no-name bat and call it a day. That would be a huge mistake if you're looking to improve your team's play and swing for the fence. Today, softball bat technology has went to a new level. It is incredible at how far technology has come with softball equipment. You must stay on top of this technology if you want to remain competitive.What bats offer the newest in technology? Here's a look at a few of our favorites.Worth Softball BatsWorth slowpitch softball bats offer NANO composite frames that help to increase bat speed and give added power on every swing. The Worth Mayhem softball bat is one of its top models, with a retail price of $299.The latest slowpitch softball bat from Worth is the new Jeff Hall Mayhem M7 model. Brand new for 2007 this bat is an extremely limited edition model with only 2,000 being available for distribution. The bat features an even larger sweet spot than it's regular Mayhem model. You will be hitting HR's like never before if you are lucky enough to get your hands on one of these Worth limited edition bats.Miken Softball BatsMiken is another of the top manufacturers of softball equipment. The slowpitch softball bat that is getting the most attention is their "FREAK" model. Retailing for around $299, the FREAK offers a 13.5" barrel, plus it is designed to hit the ball LONG and over the fence! All top-of-the-line Miken bats include the E-Flex ESD (Extended Sweet Spot) technology. They are also end-loaded, which gives maximum distance. Plus, the FREAK also includes a thinner bat handle for even more control. The knob is coated with their X-Tack coating for additional control. You'll do your team well by selecting one of the Miken model bats.Easton Softball BatsLong regarded as one of the top slowpitch softball bat manufacturers, Easton offers up a full carbon composite bat called CNT, or Carbon Nanotube Technology. Nanotube uses a smaller bead, making it much stronger and even more flexible in the hitting area. This new technology also makes the bat last much longer than normal without breaking. The Stealth line of bats are Easton's top sellers.Demarini Softball BatsDemarini is another top quality slowpitch softball bat company. Demarini uses a method of fusing together carbon composite materials plus high performance aluminum. This combination creates an incredible "pop" when hit. It's similar to a golf club in that the bat flexes when hit and the aluminum delivers the power. And what power that is! Demarini is known as the industry standard when it comes time to review slowpitch softball bat.As you can see, in order to be the best you're going to have to use the latest in sports technology. Put away the used slowpitch softball bat and get the latest in slowpitch softball bat technology, and you can and watch your team start to improve in the standings.
