Best Slowpitch Softball Bats Video

The best ASA/USA slowpitch bats for 2022 is the Monsta Torch from any year since 2020.

There. We said it.

But Miken has a couple of good sticks too that you might consider if Monsta isn't your cup of tea. As well, the value buyer, average rec player or the single wall player has a few options to check out too.

We have compiled our notes, the big-time players and some big-time vendors to come up with the best ASA  Slowpitch Softball Bat. Although the market for 2019 ASA bats is thick, we whittled them down to a manageable few.

Why We Love the 2023 Monsta Torch

The Torch from Monsta is a legend, the problem is finding it in stock. The bat hasn't changed much since 2022 (the bat pictured here is an exclusive version for 2022). Shipping has been a real problem for Monsta but we'd hope that going into 2023 they've figured out those problems.

Why We Love the 2023 Miken Vicous

the Mike Vicous is a dual stamp USA/USSSA slowpitch bat that is made of an alloy barrel and an alloy handle but fuzed together as if it were a hybrid design. This gives it great out-of-the-wrapper performance and a stiff feel. The bat gets great ratings, especially as a dual stamp bat--meaning you can use it in USA/ASA leagues as well as USSSA leagues. The bat has really good durability and its dual-wall design helps it do well no matter the type of slowpitch ball you are swinging.

The Right Slowpitch Softball Bat Size

Generally, the bigger and better you are then the bigger and heavier you want your bat. However, you'll find a lot of serious players that size down because they like the whip and control they can get. Performance is a function of bat speed and bat weight, so finding the optimal one for you will be a series of trial and error attempts.
