Rawlings Icon vs Supra: Which Fits Your Kid

The APX Composite barrel compresses and flexes on impact to drive the ball deeper, and the XPND Performance End Cap boosts performance toward the end of the barrel. The VCX3 Vibration Control Connection System filters sting, and a Pro Design Knob Taper adds comfort and leverage. Available in -10, -8 and -5 drops, lengths 27-32 in, in Teal, Pink and Yellow. USSSA 1.15 BPF certified with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty.
