What is the quick review?

The 2020 Combat B2 ATB (Advanced Technology Barrel) represented Combat's attempt to push composite technology forward before their market exit. This one-piece design promised an enormous sweet spot with their proprietary composite blend.

What models and sizes are available?

The B2 ATB came in limited drops, each featuring Combat's seamless composite construction and optimized swing weight. The Advanced Technology Barrel lived up to its name with impressive trampoline effect once properly broken in.

How is it built?

  • Extremely Balanced Swing Weight

How does it compare?

The Combat B2 is a JustBats sponsored and produced bat under the intellectual property rights they acquired during Combat parent company's bankruptcy. We aren't sure how it all works, but in any event, JustBats has retained the rights to both produce and sell a bat with the Combat name exclusively. The Combat B2 takes the name from a 2014/15 Combat line and puts it on the Combat Maxum from 2018---which this 2020 B2 ATB is an exact replica of.

Bottom line

After years of going undetected, one of the hottest bats of the past is back! JustBats is reintroducing the Combat B2 for the season, looking to no longer go Under the Radar! The COMBAT B2 ATB -11 USSSA Baseball Bat: SL20B211 utilizes ATB Composite construction, which incorporates computer controlled precision providing the most technologically advanced barrel in the game. This one piece, fully composite model will be stiff on contact, offers a well balanced swing weight, and a large sweet spot making it a great option for any type of young hitter!
