What is the quick review?
The 2021 Axe Avenge Pro is a USSSA drop 10 and 8 bats with a great sized barrel, balanced swing weight, and top-end performance. We think it the best barrel Axe has ever made on a USSSA bat. Those who want a balanced swing, like the Axe Handle, and want CF type feel on impact will like the 2021 Axe Avenge Pro.
What models and sizes are available?
Our hitters liked the ax-handle, the big barrel, and the light swing of the 2021 Axe Avenge Pro. This bat feels different than previous years' two-piece composites from Axe. It's either a function of the connection piece, the more rounded barrel, or both. In either case, our hitters liked the Axe Avenge Pro more than any previous version of the Axe Avenge in USSSA.
If you are wondering, COVID pushed back several of the releases within Axe's line. It is why there is no Avenge Pro for 2021 in USA. However, we've heard rumblings that later in the season we might see a 2021 BBCOR Axe Avenge Pro.
How is it built?
The 2021 Axe Avenge Pro is a two-piece composite bat built with a balanced swing, a reasonably sized barrel, and a semi-flexible connection piece. It comes in a drop 8 and uses its patented ax-shaped handle on both bats.
How does it compare?
The 2021 vs. the 2020 Axe Avenge went through considerable changes. The 2021 Axe Avenge Pro uses an upgraded composite and connection piece for an almost completely different feel. The 2021 swings balanced and have the ax-shaped handle, like 2020, but that's where the similarities end. We think the Axe Avenge Pro for 2021 is a considerable upgrade and worth the price difference--if there is one by the time you read this.
