The Slowpitch Bat Bros

This is the single hottest bat in USSSA-240 slowpitch softball. Hands down. The feel/weighting/sweet spot is also incredible. This is 1000% our 'gamer' for USSSA this year.

From what we can tell, all of the 240 Genesis versions have the same exact barrel tech and there's no variation in barrel length or handle material - just slightly different endloads.

The only downside of the Genesis 240s is that they're a tad fragile in colder weather with harder balls: we've seen a few of them develop early top-layer cosmetic cracks/seams, but it hasn't affected performance at all.

After we filmed the Genesis video, we reached out to Louisville to see if they could get a discount code for our viewers since we really enjoyed the bat - and they came through for us - by using the discount code "BATBROS" you'll get $60 off any USSSA-240 Genesis.

Max exit velo: 106.6 mph

Starting compression: ~290 psi

The best Miken/Worth USSSA-240 bat we've swung by a mile. This is one of their first releases since their merger with Easton/Rawlings, and it absolutely delivered. Holds compression, durable, forgiving barrel, great sound, and puts up impressive exit velos. We'd recommend getting 50 to 100 swings on this bat before gaming it.

Hopefully this means that all the 2022 Miken/Worth bats moving forward are gonna be GAS!!!

Max exit velo: 103.6 mph

Starting compression: ~280 psi

The 2nd Miken/Worth 240 bat we've swung since their Easton merger...and sure enough this thing is fantastic.

This is the first Worth bat we've swung with a 12.75" barrel, and it's a great happy medium between their traditional 12" and 14" barrels.

Even though this started at 285 psi on the compression tester, this bat sounded and felt awesome from swing 1. Forgiving barrel, great sound, smooth weighting, high exit velos - this is gonna be a very popular bat. We haven't even swung the long-barrel version of this bat yet, but it's probably very very good.

Max exit velo: 102.0 (we didn't get this bat very broken-in though to be fair)

Starting compression: ~285 psi

The 2022 Nautalais are one of the best 240 bats for holding compression. You'll need a good 200+ swings to get them broken in (they won't feel very good at first), and then they stay in that 270-240 psi compression window for a long time. These have alloy handles, creating a stiff/rigid feel - but man do they hit the ball hard. They also have a super smooth weighting and a near-perfect grip/handle/knob setup. The Nautalai comes in a bunch of different shapes/sizes this year, but we think that the longer barrelled versions are actually the best ones (even though the short-barrels tend to sell the best).

Favorite models: Davis Bilardello 13.5" (The Barney Bat)

Max exit velo: 103.3 mph

Starting compression: 300+ psi

The Easton FF240s we've swung start at a surprisingly low compression (about 255-265) but they stay there for a lot longer than we expected. After 200 swings, these have still been passing for us. They're easy to swing, have really forgiving sweet spots, sound great, and hammer the ball.

Disclaimer: the FF240s, Resmondo 240s, and the Comic Series 240 bats are all the same - just slightly different barrel lengths and endloads. The new 'KaPow' is the only Easton 240 bat so far with different/updated tech.

Favorite models: FF240 1-Piece & 12" barrel 2-Piece

Max exit velo: 103.1 mph

Starting compression: ~260 psi

Bats: Torch/Sinister/Fallout/BlackSheep/Boogster

The undisputed winner of our ASA exit velo showdowns. The Monsta M2 bats are simply built different. However, they are being discontinued - so get them while you can (only available through a few retailers currently).

These bats swing quite heavy, so I'd recommend going down a size (I normally swing 26 oz but I swing a 25 oz M2).

Only hit 52 cor softballs with these bats.

Bats: Flip Money, DNA Legacy, DB44

A slight variation from the Monsta M2 bats: these seem to be a bit more durable and take a bit longer to break-in. For awhile we weren't much of a fan of anything Monsta had put out besides their M2 bats, the the M5 bats are definitely worthy of the hype. A super forgiving barrel, great exit velo, and an awesome loud sound even with a softer ball.

These also have a more typical weighting to them compared to the Monsta M2 bats.

Only hit 52 cor softballs with these bats.

The one ASA bat we've found so far that can kind of hang with the Monsta M2 and M5. These endloaded Worth long-barrels can pop off some impressive exit velocity, but they have a huge forgiving sweet spot to go along with it. While the Monsta bats win in exit velo, the Miken/Worth ASA bats win in sweet spot and performance across the whole barrel.

Traditional/orthodox weighting and a very solid sound.

Only hit 52 cor softballs with these bats.
