High Performance
Nike Slow Pitch Softball Bats

Nike offers a whole range of softball bats, including Nike slow pitch softball bats. Most bats use aluminum and graphite/titanium lined material.

Aluminum bats come in a variety of alloys. They can have single or double layer construction. Double layer bats offer more durability and power.

Graphite and titanium are strong and light materials. They are usually added to thinner aluminum bats. Graphite and titanium also help reduce vibration and the sting of ball shock.

The Nike Aero Launch slow pitch models feature:
1. 7050 aluminum alloy
2. Aero Cap technology, which increases bat speed
3. Cushioned synthetic leather grip
4. 2 1/4" barrel
5. Price range is about $20-80

When choosing a bat consider your age, height and weight. As a general rule:

2. 11-12 year old players should use a 30-31" bat
3. 13-14 year old players should use a 31-32" bat
4. 17 year old or older players should use a 34" bat
