New for 2010! The Mattingly V-Grip Ripped Aluminum bat combines V-Grip technology with the exclusive MB55Sc Scandium Alloy. This is Mattingly Baseball`s high-end Alloy which provides the best performance and durability among aluminum bats. The MB55Sc Scandium Alloy contains the optimum blend of Scandium and other elements to create the hottest alloy in the game! Mattingly Baseball is the one and only bat company to offer the Patented V-Grip handle system. The V-Grip technology is the concept and design of Yankee Great, Don Mattingly and is specifically designed to keep the knocking knuckles aligned and shift the bat away from the palm and into the fingers—forcing your grip to be in perfect alignment every time. Additionally, the V-Grip keeps the bat from turning in the hands during the swing. Mattingly Ripped maximizes the energy return to the ball with its Direct Power Transfer. Combined with the MB55Sc Scandium Alloy, performance and durability is unmatched. The Ripped bat also features the state of the art Locked-N-Loaded II End Plug which contributes to maximum trampoline effect. The bat is finished with an Akzo Nobel Sikkens high-quality paint and shot peened/anodized finish for lasting and superior quality finish
