Construction & Technology
Now for logistics. The 2015 Axe Avenge bat has a middle range swing weight comparable to the 2015 Slugger 515 Omaha or Adidas EQT X1. It is a two piece composite bat in the class of the S1, CF7 and 915 among others.
All in all the Axe Avenge makes for a very enjoyable hitting experience. The Axe bat with its ax handle shape is not a hoax or gimmick. It is not just another exercise in baseball bat hypchanics. The handle is a true innovation in the bat space and measurably improves the hitting experience. Those looking in the top shelf bat space should sharpen up their short list by considering the Axe bat.

Don't get me wrong, there are clearly some nuances that are worth noting and purchasing, but it seems that among the good dozen or more of top shelf bats, the differences are more often than not, negligible. Ultimately, we base bat decisions on a function of a bat's swing weight and contact feel. But what if a piece of hypchanics was a solid hit?
