2010 Rawlings 5150 Composite & Hybrid Baseball Bats
A new line of baseball bats for the year 2010 is now on the loose. The release of the product was too early to create excitement, and for the most part, the new models are not up to scratch. There’s nothing extra ordinary that came out from most baseball bat brands, except for the significant changes of the 5150 series that the Rawlings introduced.
Rawlings offers interesting features to their product line. Starting with the 5150 Composite bat which is better than the last year’s Comp Lite. It has a multi-wall intermediate balance design. The merging of carbon, fiberglass and aramid fibers creates a superior feel. The price starts with a high cost for the Adult-3 model, which is considerably expensive.
The Rawlings 5150 Hybrid on the other hand is almost similar to the Louisville H2. It substitutes the Rush Gold Lite that had a two piece design like the Demarini’s. The 5150 Hybrid stiff composite handle is bonded to the barrel made of alloy that adds more strength and increased flex. This model is cheaper for the Adult -3model compared to the 5150 Composite.
