Overview
Not a two-piece hybrid, the Velo ACP is a one-piece alloy BBCOR bat with Accelerated Carbon Performance in the barrel end and a redesigned profile. It has a longer, flatter barrel, a thinner handle and a lasered groove through the sweet spot.
Thin alloy barrel walls and carbon performance target a light swing weight and a larger sweet spot, with urethane infused fibers to soften contact. The limitation is the missing length, weight and barrel size, and Rawlings notes that drop should not be used to work out actual weight.
Who it's for
Contact hitters in BBCOR leagues who want a lighter swing and a flatter barrel will use the profile. Youth and non-BBCOR players, and buyers who must match exact length and weight, should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- BBCOR certified for NCAA and NFHS
- Vibration reduction fibers
- Thin handle for swing speed
- Lasered sweet spot groove
- Bat length not listed
- Weight not reliable from drop
- Barrel diameter missing
Performance notes
Thin barrel walls in the alloy are meant to raise exit velocity, and the carbon section trims swing weight. The lasered groove changes how the barrel flexes at the sweet spot, while urethane infused fibers damp vibration that would reach the hands. A one-piece frame gives a stiff, direct feel at contact.
