The 3x composite technology used in the TPX Triton is once again used in the H2 Hybrid but this time, it is only applied on the handle. The barrel of H2 Hybrid is like the 2008 Exogrid model with ST+20 alloy material. The Louisville Slugger stated that this hybrid bat barrel design of 2009 makes the baseball bat stiffer and thus stronger by having more flexibility and trampoline effect upon contact.
