The Mantra is Rawlings’ highest-performing fastpitch bat ever, but as\u00a0they prove with Mantra Plus, a good thing can always get better. If you\u00a0liked previous Mantras, there’s no need to worry as no wholesale changes have been made. It still includes an ultra-light end cap for lightning fast speed through the zone, and the Blast Motion\u00ae enabled knob keeps it smart. The difference lies mostly in the refined barrel construction and connection piece, providing hitters with more power, more consistency, and more comfort at the plate. Intrigued? So were we. Let’s\u00a0take a closer look\u00a0at the upgrades:<\/p>\n

Made from high-quality carbon composite, the 2023 Rawlings Mantra Plus Fastpitch Softball Bat<\/a><\/strong><\/span> combines a precision-molded inner barrel with a lower flex outer barrel to generate ultimate power at the plate. It also features a new PowerSync connection joint that further reduces vibration while transferring all the energy from your swing directly into the barrel, adding even more pop. The fused handle, collar, and barrel increases the bat’s overall durability.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tgwblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/02\/rawlings-mantra-plus-fastpitch-softball-bat-barrel.jpg” alt=”Rawlings Mantra Plus Fastpitch Softball Bat Barrel” title_text=”rawlings-mantra-plus-fastpitch-softball-bat-barrel” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

Rawlings engineered\u00a0the inner barrel\u00a0with hyper-precision molding\u00a0for more consistent\u00a0performance on every swing while the outer barrel layers feature an impact-toughened resin that creates lower compression and optimized wall thickness evenly throughout the barrel. As a result, you’ll get more power, more consistency, and maintain a smooth feel with every swing.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tgwblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/02\/rawlings-mantra-plus-fastpitch-softball-bat-connection.jpg” alt=”Rawlings Mantra Plus Fastpitch Softball Bat Connection” title_text=”rawlings-mantra-plus-fastpitch-softball-bat-connection” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

To improve power and feel on mis-hits, the Mantra Plus features a PowerSync connection joint that further reduces vibration while transferring all that energy from your swing directly into the barrel.<\/p>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/tgwblog.kinsta.cloud\/blog-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2023\/02\/rawlings-mantra-plus-fastpitch-softball-bat-knob.jpg” alt=”Rawlings Mantra Plus Fastpitch Softball Bat Knob” title_text=”rawlings-mantra-plus-fastpitch-softball-bat-knob” align=”center” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n

This bat also features a Blast Motion\u00ae enabled knob. When the Blast sensor is attached, Blast provides real-time feedback for every swing and automatically sends swing information to a smart phone app (iOS and Android compatible) which allows players to understand and improve their hitting. Capture and analyze exit velo, launch angle, estimated ball flight distance, and so much more.<\/p>\n

The 2023\u00a0Rawlings\u00a0Mantra Plus Fastpitch Softball Bat is designed for any hitter looking for increased power, comfort, and\u00a0improved durability. It’s also a good choice for hitters who want to use technology and data (via the Blast Motion\u00ae sensor) to gain insights about their swing and how to improve it.<\/p>\n

Mantra Plus’ barrel features metallic teal graphics that dazzle the eye as it travels through the zone, with a matching teal end cap. The white cosmetic and grip makes it look as pure as the driven snow. Except it’s not. It’s actually quite lethal.<\/p>\n
