Ultimate BALANCE - Maximum CONTROL : The Louisville Slugger Omaha 516 BBCOR Baseball Bat: BBO5163 is here! With the introduction of their 2016 bat line, players around the nation are finding out why more Top 25 teams in NCAA baseball step into the box with Louisville Slugger. The Omaha line has been one of the most trusted one-piece bats in the game, and the new Omaha 516 delivers that same consistent performance and feel that players demand. Featuring Slugger's new exclusive 7U1 Alloy, the Omaha 516 will provide hitters with the largest sweet spot and lightest swing weight found in any Omaha to-date! This BBCOR certified model features the Flex Band Technology in its barrel. By inserting a 1" composite disc right below the sweet spot, the team in Louisville is able to meet BBCOR standards while keeping the barrel walls as thin as possible. Thinner barrel walls results in a lighter feel, larger sweet spot, and maximum trampoline effect on contact. Doesn't sound too bad, right Louisville Slugger is more than confident that they've created the best bat in baseball and they're backing it up with the 30-Day Performance Promise.
