The Trinity T7 shares similarities with Old Hickory's aluminum bat, both crafted by wood bat manufacturers, embodying a wood bat's endload and feel. They mimic the stiffness of wood bats, suiting powerful hitters. The T7 also aligns with the Easton Z-Core XL, dubbed the "aluminum log" for its appeal to strong collegiate players. Both bats promise maximum impact when swung effectively, emphasizing the importance of consistent swing speed for optimal performance.
Models Overview
Trinity bat company, known for their wood bats often used in the pros, recently released an aluminum BBCOR bat. We spent time with the bat in the cage and discussed the bat and its metrics at a Trade Show as well as over email with the folks at Trinity. On the whole, the single-piece aluminum BBCOR bat is a great wood replicator in the sense of an end-loaded, big-hitting stick for the serious player. In more detail, the following is our Trinity BBCOR Bat Review.
Construction & Technology
The Trinity BBCOR T7 aluminum bat is a single-piece bat. If this bat world is unfamiliar to you, you should note that many metal and composite bat companies make multi-piece bats. Most common in the high school ranks are two-piece composite bats. Others often use hybrid bats that consist of a composite handle and an aluminum barrel. Others, more recently, are single-piece hybrid bats that use an aluminum bat, but an extended composite end cap. Each of these innovations, at least in part, produces a lighter swinging bat than one that is simply full of aluminum.
