Closer Review: Marucci Posey28 BBCOR Bat

BBCOR certified Pro Metal BBCOR Bat by Marucci

A notable feature of the Marucci Posey28 bat is the anti-vibration knob they have been patented. In addition, it has a harmonic dampening silicone type piece that fits in the knob and extends partly through the handle of the bat. If a ball is mishit and vibrates through the bat and then the knob absorbs all the vibrations before your hands do.

Technology like this is not just a pseudo-science. Marucci has real data that is not needed to prove and it really does work. -3 Marucci bats by Marucci has years of feedback and thousands of hitters that can guarantee to it working as well.

The Posey 28 BBCOR model also uses variable wall thickness in the barrel. That’s, if you cut the bat in half you would notice that the Aluminum in the barrel is not the same as you go down of the barrel. This thickness level permits the engineers to tune the barrel’s performance at different parts of this 2020 model.

Benefits of the Pro Model Features

Using AZ105 alloy, Marucci manufactured this bat with a multi-variable wall design constructed of thinner barrel walls. It is simply that the thinner the walls, the faster the ball comes off the bat on contact. More, the design also enhances the sweet spot & more forgiving when the players make contact on the remainder of the barrel.

The ring-free manufacturing of bat means that there is no dead spot on the hitting surface, which is most beneficial for those players who focus on making contact. It has a second-generation AV2 anti-vibration knob to keep the sting out of the bat. For complete control in the batter’s box, it has a removable tape on the handle and a soft, comfortable grip.
