A dream to swing. A nightmare to pitch. The Rise 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDream higher.
