Combat has been around for some time now but is only recently making waves in the baseball and softball market with bats that seemingly get hotter and hotter every year. The Canadian-run (based out of Ottawa) company was purchased by Bauer in 2013 and the move has brought in even more technological advancements and improvements to the construction of Combat baseball bats.<\/p>\n

Combat was previously already known for using advanced cutting-edge technology in constructing composite bats, but the acquisition by Bauer has infused even more capital into their R&D department. Recent bats coming from Combat have seen considerable improvements and one of the biggest examples of this is the Combat Maxum line of baseball bats, a formidable lineup of sticks that are at the forefront of composite technology and great options for players of all skill levels and abilities.<\/p>\n

Combat\u2019s surge into bats was in 2004 beginning with softball bats and thereafter soon followed with baseball bats. Their claim to fame is that many of the individuals driving Combat\u2019s technology growth and development are players themselves, and this company is truly one that is created by ballplayers for ballplayers.<\/p>\n

The bats are also made for play in Canadian weather, meaning seasons can sometimes begin as early as April and extend into September and sometimes October. Their bats thus have very high durability and are able to withstand cold temperatures better than many manufacturers. Although with any composite stick it would be dangerous to use it when the temperature is very cold, Combat has done quite well ensuring their bats can be used in leagues or tournaments that end quite late in the year.<\/p>\n

What Is So Good About The Combat Maxum?<\/h2>\n

So why has there been so much hype about the Combat Maxum? What is it that makes this line of bats so good? When Maxum first launched, much of the talk was about the huge sweet spot size, which was uncommon to see in bats at the time. The improvement was a 40% uptick over the standard size of a sweet spot found at the time, which was unheard of then as it is now. The greatest thing about the larger sweet spot size was that it had no adverse effect on the swing weight or the feel of the barrel.<\/p>\n

Maxum actually began as an exploratory venture into determining what were the possibilities available in a baseball bat if all restrictions were lifted, a sort of \u2018dream bat\u2019 that addressed all items on a wish list. Combat employed it’s\u2019 now patented seamless, precision-molded construction that all but eliminated any dead spots on a bat\u2019s barrel. Where previously a hit near the endcap may have resulted in a weak dribbler back to the pitching mound, Combat\u2019s Maxum would still ensure a solid shot. The end result is a one-piece carbon bat held together with a fiberglass sleeve that, simply put, will deliver hits all along the barrel. This is all topped off with a liquid resin that, upon insertion, gives the Combat Maxum an incredible toughness and sturdiness.<\/p>\n
