2027 Marucci ASURA Lux Rise (-9) Fastpitch Softball Bat: MFPASLR9

Meet the ASURA Lux Rise — engineered for the next era of fastpitch one-piece power. A dream to swing. A nightmare to pitch. Rise technology brings a longer inner barrel for a wider sweet spot and a more forgiving barrel. The new AV™ Knob is built for a smoother feel in your hands and on contact, and every length and weight drop is individually tuned to deliver consistent performance. The result is a bat that feels smoother, swings faster and delivers more consistent performance across the barrel—so you can step into every at-bat ready to rise. 

Dream higher. Hit farther.

KEY SPECS/TECH

• Rise Sync Barrel Technology: Rise up to a smarter, more forgiving barrel. It features an elongated, fully suspended inner barrel that extends the active hitting zone by up to 10%, widening the sweet spot and increasing barrel responsiveness—without sacrificing balance or feel. 
  
• AV™ Knob (Anti-Vibration Technology): Built to Rise above. The AV™ Knob is designed to reduce vibration and kill sting, not feel. Built as one solid system with a soft, elastomeric outer shell, you’ll get a smoother feel in your hands and connected feedback without harsh vibration. 
  
• One-Piece Composite Construction & Extended Barrel Length: Built for pure energy transfer and ultimate consistency. The seamless one-piece composite design delivers a solid, connected feel with every swing—maximizing control, responsiveness, and power through the zone. The Lux Rise features a longer straight barrel length compared to the 2-Piece Rise, while swinging at an identical swing weight and MOI. 
  
• Sized for All: Half-Length offerings in both 32.5” & 33.5” – allowing players to dial in to their most effective length. 
  
• Tailored Performance: Each bat length and drop is individually tuned with an optimized inner barrel design, maximizing performance across the lineup.
