TPX Triton Bat

Louisville has come out with it's first 3 piece composite bat design with the TPX Triton bat. It uses something they call 3X Composite technology. Basically what this means is that the handle, and barrel are both separate pieces, and are connnected by something called the "Transition Bubble." This bonds together the handle and barrel to create a very strong "1 piece" bat.

It also uses computer technology to precisely layer the graphite at just the right angles to produce a very large barrel sweet spot. Of all the TPX baseball bats, this model is the only 3 piece design.

H2 Hybrid Bat

The H2 Hybrid bat takes the composte or "3X" material used in the Triton bat, and uses it only for the handle of this model. The barrel is made up of the ST+20 alloy that was previously used in the 2008 Exogrid model. Their website states that the move to a composite handle/aluminum barrel design makes for an even stronger and stiffer bat, which allows for more barrel flex and more trampoline effect on contact with the ball. This is one of two hybrid models of all of the TPX baseball bats of 2009.

TPX Exogrid Bat

The 2009 TPX Exogrid bat makes up the other hybrid model put out by Louisville. It uses the ST+20 alloy used in the H2 model, but this bat contains a carbon composite sleeve that runs the length of the handle. In addition to the sleeve, carbon is also inserted in a grid pattern at the handle to reinforce its strength. Extreme heat and pressure are used to combine the carbon sleeve, inserts, and the aluminum alloy to make one solid single unit.

TPX Air Exogrid Bat

TPX Air Exogrid Bat The Air Exogrid bat is very similar to the regular Exogrid in that it is a 1-piece hybrid bat. The difference lies in the fact that it contains an air chamber in the barrel. This is to isolate the hitting zone from the rest of the bat, and enhance the sweet spot. Louisville claims that it is the most advanced bat on the market today. It certainly is the most expensive.

Omaha and Omaha Composite

Omaha Composite Bat Omaha Bat The 2009 Omaha aluminum model is just a one piece model that uses the ST+20 alloy throughout the length of the bat. The Omaha Composite is just the same, but only it uses their 7C composite material. This is the second year for the Omaha composite model. The one piece all aluminum Omaha model has been around for a few years.

Summary

Louisville advertises that the TPX baseball bats are the best on the market because they are the stiffest bats around. They make the argument that a stiff handle allows the barrel to flex at just the right time which causes more power at contact.
