Its end-loaded barrel is designed for effortless power. As a comparison to cat9, the 2023 CATX Connect is moved from balance to an end-loaded design for faster swings.

S-40 Composite Handle helps to transfer more power, faster from athlete to baseball to deliver great performance.


They used AZR Aluminum material that provides more responsiveness and makes it durable with excellent performance.

Connect the barrel to the handle from the outside, by using the stiffest connection that is available in the bat. Minimizing all the vibrations on the joint for the strongest, and smoothest swing yet.

CAT10 Connect has a slight end-loaded swing that players expected. It delivers good pop and the sound it delivers is much better than other bats.

Having an end-loaded swing weight helps all hitters to handle it and to deliver a massive sweet spot, a grip helps to deliver great performance in the Power Hitting Hybrid BBCOR Bats lineup.

Reasons to consider

Contains the best Features that help to transfer more energy from player to ball and able to give more performance.

And its handle feels slightly better as compression the voodoo because of the larger taper.

Reasons to avoid

If you like a heavier bat then you should definitely go for the new 2023 Louisville Slugger Select PWR BBCOR.

Though, there are no major durability issues except for paint chipping. That might also be a reason you could consider to avoid this BBCOR bat.

The Price and Performance can't be justified.

Value for money

It would be difficult to say whether it is value for money or not because it depends on your playing style and the performance it delivers you like or not.

But It feels great and in comparison to its competitor bats, it delivers an awesome sound when it connects.
If you don’t like stiffer handles and lighter bats then this is not for you, and if you are a player who loves stiffer handles and lighter bats then this will be worth your money.
