What makes the RT's so good ? Is it the hit ? Does the ball go farther ? Is it just a feel ?
A. It is an end-loaded bat. B. It's weight is distributed differently than other bats - the solid aluminum weighs 1.4 oz and serves as a counter balance of sorts. Anderson identifies the RT as a -9 drop bat, but that is the "swing weight", which is 2-3 oz less than the scale weight. Essentially this means a player can swing a heavier Anderson with the same effort that they can swing a lighter bat. More mass at impact with the same swing velocity translates to greater distance. C. The sweet spot is smaller than most good composites. D. The RT will expose poor swing mechanics. E. If you can hit with a RT you can hit with anything. F. The Rocketflex is Anderson's composite handled version of the Rocketech and is getting good intial reviews - still endloaded, slightly lighter, no hand sting, similar performance. It seems like a winner. G. Everybody else swings a CF5 or Xeno so the DD can find her bat easily! H. American designed, manufactured, and owned.
