A mantra is meant to sharpen your focus and elevate your mindset. That's the approach we took when designing the 2023 Rawlings Mantra+ fastpitch softball bat. The Mantra+ boasts brand new features to improve both comfort and power at the plate. For starters, the Mantra+ features a refined version of the Mantra's three-step barrel design. We engineered the inner barrel with hyper-precision molding for more consistent performance on every swing. In addition, the outer barrel layers feature an impact-toughened resin that creates lower compression and optimized wall thickness evenly throughout the barrel. As a result, you'll get more power, more consistency, and maintain a smooth feel with every swing. To improve your power and feel on mishits, the Mantra+ even features a new PowerSync connection joint that further reduces vibration while transferring all that energy from your swing directly into the barrel. And you can let this bat rip in practice, too — our advanced molding technique prevents telescoping and improves durability.
