Impressively designed to catch the eye and the ball, the Natural Elite Series is also perfectly suited for the female hand with smaller hand openings, narrowed finger stalls and wider webs to better control an 11" or 12" softball. Each glove in the series comes equipped with BioDri® technology; a fabric used to line the finger stalls that wicks away moisture, keeping your glove dry and light.

The Natural Elite Series also features the VRS palm pad which disperses the impact of the ball.

S1iD Barrel Technology: This TPS exclusive technology (S1iD stands for “Swing 1 inner Disc) allows XENO’s barrel to flex to its maximum allowable performance level from the first swing, making the bat “game ready” from the very first swing. IST Composite Technology: iST (inner Socket Technology) maintains the handle stiffness elite players seek by joining XENO’s barrel and handle together and providing them with a great solid feel and a larger sweet spot. iST technology also features a solid connection between the handle and barrel, giving hitters maximum performance – even on inside hits. LS2X Composite Technology: New thinner, high-strength and lightweight graphite fibers allow use of more layers in XENO’s barrel for added strength, but with an overall wall that is thinner. This creates better performance while maintaining durability. The 2012 version of Louisville Slugger’s TPS Z-1000 is the most technologically advanced bat on the market. It’s the bat of choice for Team TPS of the Long Haul Bombers, a collection of some of the hardest-hitting guys in softball. Team TPS, featuring J.D. Genter, Tim Cocco, and Lee Powers, swung the Z-1000 to win the Manufacturer’s Cup in the 2011 Stadium Power Tour.

Combat's new Avaritia fast-pitch represents the state of the art in modern multi-piece bat design. Our design is centered around our Handle Isolation Technology (HIT) that uses polymeric visco-elastic dampeners to isolate the ultra-light handle from the high performance double-wall barrel. The visco-elastic material stiffens under load so the barrel responds quickly to your swing, but then softens to absorb vibration feedback. High frequency vibrations are effectively eliminated before they reach your hands, giving a soft, damped, feel without compromising performance. The Avaritia swings light, looks stunning and is available in four different drops (-8, -9, -10 and -11), so we have the right size for everyone.
