In 2008 the Amateur Softball Association (ASA) changed how composite bats are tested and as a result severely limited the performance of composite bats used in ASA play. To create a better bat under the new guidelines, RIP-IT created Beyond Composite Technology (BCT). BCT allows RIP-IT to create bats that perform and sound like composites, but are not forced to comply with the stricter composite testing procedures. These means BCT is hotter out of the wrapper and is a good on hit 1000 as hit 1. New for 2011! Introducing the new Rip-It Elite Light Fastpitch Softball Bat that's Made in the USA! This one-piece bat features Rip-It's Beyond Composite Technology (BCT). BCT is an alloy material scientifically designed to sound and perform like a composite bat, without having to adhere to strict ASA guidelines for composites. The result is that you get a bat that is HOT right out of the wrapper and is still as good on swing 1000 as it was on swing 1! The Elite Light features a lightweight design and a balanced feel for maxium control and bat speed! The Vibration Dampening Grip on the Elite Light is a grooved spiral grip specially designed for control, while providing maximum comfort for your hands by dampening vibration.
