| The Exogrid is the best Louisville Slugger bat produced to date, period. You want power? You want maximum performance from the hit? You want a bat that will make you the best hitter you can possibly be? Exogrid gives you all this and more. The Exogrid concept is simple: increase handle stiffness and strength without increasing weight. To achieve this, Louisville Slugger started with a one-piece bat. First metal is trimmed from the handle in a grid pattern to reduce overall handle weight. The metal is replaced with carbon inserts that are several times stiffer and lighter than the metal it replaces. For optimum stiffness, they have inserted a carbon sleeve with unidirectional fibers that run the length of the handle. Finally, using a combination of heat and extreme pressure, the inserts, sleeve and metal wall are bonded together to work as a single, solid unit. This results in stiffness and strength never possible with aluminum.
