The Outer-Locking System (OLS) attaches barrel to handle from the outside. Marucci says it creates one of the stiffest connections available, which means less energy lost and more power transferred. Liquid-Gel Dampening Knob holds liquid-gel to absorb vibration and smooth the feel at contact. Mid-balanced swing with a slight end load. Available in -10, -8, and -5.

The Tracer end cap uses lightweight composite materials to optimize bat speed while preserving the barrel's powerful performance, and the balanced swing feel keeps it controllable through the zone. Being a one-piece alloy, you're going to feel more vibration on mishits compared to two-piece or composite designs, but you get that direct energy transfer and durability that alloy bats are known for. DeMarini backs it with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty, and since it's all-alloy construction, you can use it in any weather without worrying about the cracking issues that come with composite bats.
