2023 Rawlings Mantra + Plus -9 Fastpitch Softball Bat

SHAVED and ROLLED — 2023 Rawlings Mantra + Plus -9 Fastpitch Softball Bat.  Shaved, this bat is very hot but does have iffy durability.  These bats have a very thin outer shell with a bulky inner sleeve.  On the shave, the sleeve is remove completely which does knock down the durability quite a bit.  Performance is insane though.  Suggested shave spec is level 1 full service.  I would not go past this if you want any shot of it holding up.  

A mantra is intended to improve your mindset and focus. That was the strategy Rawlings used when creating the Rawlings Mantra+ fastpitch softball bat for 2023. Your game needs more force, pop, and personality right away. New innovations on the Mantra+ enhance both comfort and power at the plate.  To begin with, the three-step barrel design of the Mantra is improved upon in the Mantra+. To achieve more consistent performance with each swing, we developed the inner barrel with hyper-precision molding. Additionally, the outer barrel layers have an impact-toughened resin that results in less compression and uniformly adjusted wall thickness. You’ll consequently produce more power, have greater consistency, and keep a fluid feel during each swing.  The Mantra+ additionally includes a new PowerSync connection joint that further lowers vibration while transmitting all that energy from your swing directly into the barrel in order to increase your power and feel on mishits.
