Best Slowpitch Bats

Our softball bat reviews are designed to help you weigh tradeoffs to find the best fit. We collaborate with players and gear experts to review each bat based on pop (energy transfer to the ball), durability (resistance to breaking), and control (ability to direct the bat's swing). Rankings are updated weekly based on SidelineSwap sales data.

Louisville Slugger Genesis

Pop
Durability
Control
Perfect bat for:
Both beginners who are developing their swing and more experienced players who want a bat that offers power and control.

The Louisville Slugger Genesis Softball Bat offers a balance between swing weight and control. The key to its performance lies in the massive End Cap. This design optimizes barrel compression on contact, creating a larger sweet spot for consistent power across the hitting zone. Additionally, the LS Removable Pyramid Grip Taper provides grip and exceptional comfort, reducing vibration and sting on off-center hits.

Across the Genesis line, you'll find some variation in pop depending on the model. The balanced model prioritizes control, while the end-loaded models prioritize power with features like the LS 2X Composite Barrel or Dual-Disc S1ID composite barrel creating a larger sweet spot. Whether you're a young player prioritizing control or a power hitter looking to crush the ball, the Genesis has a bat for you.

Durability
Control
Perfect bat for:
Players with the strength and swing mechanics to handle a bat designed for generating maximum power.

The Miken Freak Softball Bat features a two-piece composite design for a controlled swing. The key to its performance lies in the Triple Matrix Core + technology for premium sweet spot size, 100 Comp™ construction for exceptional durability, and Flex 2 Power (F2P) technology for optimized handle flex to barrel loading. The Miken Freak has everything you need to take your game to the next level. Overall, the Miken Freak is a great choice for serious slowpitch hitters looking to dominate the game with a combination of power and control.

The Freak series is a good option for hitters who crave power and distance. There are a variety of models to choose from. However, keep in mind the price point and potentially heavier swing weight before you buy. If you can handle it, the Miken Freak can be awesome at the plate. If you prioritize pure power and distance, the end-loaded models are your best bet. For those who want a good balance of power and control, the balanced models are a great choice, and the lighter Freak models will offer an option for contact hitters who still crave some pop.

Perfect bat for:
Slowpitch softball players of various skill levels, from recreational players to serious amateurs.

The Easton Mako Softball Bat features TCT Thermo Composite Technology for a large sweet spot, ensuring consistent hard hits. Its CXN two-piece construction enhances energy transfer for a powerful swing and balanced feel. The Mako bat also features a Zero Strain 1431 Handle to reduce vibration on the hands and to maximize energy transfer. Ideal for both recreational players and rising stars, the Easton Mako is a reliable asset on the field.

Both the fastpitch and slowpitch versions of the Mako prioritize a balanced swing weight. This makes them ideal for young hitters who are still refining their swing mechanics. They can focus on bat control and making consistent contact, rather than struggling with a heavier bat. The fastpitch Mako utilizes TCT for a larger sweet spot and a trampoline effect for more pop on contact and the slowpitch Mako features a durable aluminum construction optimized for slowpitch league regulations.
