The JC24 is arguably the most well balanced and most durable bat we produce, constructed similarly to the C271, but thicker in areas essential to keeping a wood bat in one piece. The slightly flared knob provides a comfortable resting spot for your bottom hand. If you're making the transition from metal bats to wood bats, the JC24 is for you- even better for contact hitters who consistently drive the ball deep in the gaps. Victus Grit Matte bats are made for grinders. Featuring the same quality wood as our Pro Reserve line, the textured matte finish gives these bats a unique look and feel and has been rumored to grip the ball and create more backspin. Grit Matte models are not covered by 45-day warranty Knob: Slight flare Handle: Medium Barrel: Medium Feel: Balanced Wood: Maple Big League-grade ink dot certified
