TPS XENO...and her 2013 counterpart the ONE-X. Both are incredibly hot bats.

Didn't you ask about composite bats?

 

The Xeno is probably the hottest bat going right now. The Demarini's are always a good bat. Pretty much if you are willing to pay $250 or $300 for a bat they will be pretty good. As far as a cold night use an old bat, any one you have laying around will work. Shouldn't be playing in a real meaningful game in cold weather.

Thread title had me thinking there was a Halloween theme here.

Carry on.

thought they were two separate questions... as far as the latter is concerned, I keep an old Catalyst in the bag to pull out when its cold.

YEs, I asked about both, because out here in the county, our early season games (all meaningful games:) LOL) the evenings usually dip into the 40s. So for half the season you just use an old bat? Seems strange to me, that's why I'm asking:) Hanna pitched in many JV march/april games last season where we froze, literally. Maybe this spring will be warmer than last, just wanted to get her a cold weather bat...all she has is composite right now:(

I'm like you, hopefully it'll be warmer this season too! Like an earlier poster said, Demarini makes some nice bats as well.

Are you allowed to keep the bats in a blanket to keep them warm in High School?

I don't know, but I can tell you I'LL be wrapped up and in blanket:) LOL Is that the only trick with a composite...just keep it warm somehow? I guess that's what the stupid sleeves are for, huh?:ohbrother:

It is my understanding that composite bats are not effected by temperature change but that the balls are harder when it gets cold. This is where the danger of cracking comes from.
