Marucci Echo connect Bat
This two-piece composite bat is designed for both power hitters and control players. Its OLS connection minimizes vibrations and reduces sting on off-center hits, while the Marucci-exclusive Double Wall Technology barrel provides a large sweet spot for consistent power. This design maximizes ball distance with a trampoline effect on well-placed swings.
Key features include:
| Two-Piece Composite Barrel | Combines the power potential of a composite barrel with the feel and control of a two-piece construction. |
| OLS Connection | Provides a stiffer connection compared to traditional two-piece bats, reducing vibration and improving energy transfer. |
| Soft-Touch Grip with Extra Tack | A combination of comfort and control. The perforations help with better breathability and moisture management. |
| Endloaded Swing Weight | Distributes weight slightly towards the end of the bat, providing more power potential for players who can handle a slightly heavier swing weight. |
| Sting-Free Nylon Knob | Absorbs vibrations on contact, reducing the sting in your hands and creating a more comfortable swing. |
| Different Drop Weights | Allows players to choose a bat that best suits their swing speed and strength. |
Top Competitors
All three are two-piece composite bats with a large sweet spot. The Marucci Echo Connect prioritizes a smooth swing with some pop, thanks to its vibration-reducing connection and a large sweet spot with a trampoline effect. The DeMarini CF Zen offers a potentially softer feel and might have a hair more power, while the Easton Ghost X swings lighter for more control with a balanced power potential.
Progression of the i Echo Connect
There is no 2019 Echo. Marucci uses a two-year cycle for their bats and the fastpitch bat before was called the CATFX. The Echo has considerable changes compared to the FX lines.
- A new multi-directional composite shell called MDX.
- The same connection piece found in Marucci’s top-rated CAT 8 Connect.
| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Great pop, no sting. Worth it if your daughter is serious about playing softball and is willing to put in time to develop her swing. |
| The swing weight is similar to my Ghost with just as much pop; but is far more durable. |
| My 15 year old loves to hit with this bat. It’s excellent so far. Highly recommend! |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| Less than two months after purchasing this bat, the cap at the end of the bat is loose. |
| After half of a season the bat is dead. There is no pop or a sweet spot. Very disappointed. |
| There is no pop to this bat all all. Even after hundreds of swings, this bat seems dead. |
The Echo Connect DMND is great for all level of players. It's two-piece design is even better for power hitters. It has a quick break-in period. With its comfortable grip and durable construction, the Echo Connect DMND is a great bat at an affordable price.
