What is the quick review?
We took the 2021 BBCOR and USA Rawlings Quatro Pro for a spin. After four hitting sessions and three different hitters over 500 hits, we put this 2021 Rawlings Quatro Pro review together.
What models and sizes are available?
Our hitters like the flexible handle--although not as flexible as last year---huge barrel, and light swing of the 2021 Rawlings Quatro Pro. That holds true for both the USA and BBCOR versions of the bat. The Lizard Skin grip is a nice touch and the non flared handle was preferred by 2 of the 4 hitters.
How is it built?
The Rawlings Quatro Pro is a two-piece composite bat with a light swing, big barrel, and mildly stiff connection. In terms of bullet points, here's what we got:
- F2 Collar (This is the new connection that helps stiffen it up from 2020).
- Very Light End Cap
- "Suspended Inner Barrel." Basically, they've inserted the barrel with some foam type material that keeps the inner barrel off the outside barrel. I'm sure the Rawlings engineers cringe at our description there. So, for what its worth.
- Lizard Skin Grip
How does it compare?
The major change in the 2021 Quatro Pro is an updated connection piece. Rawlings calls this the F2 and it is a bit stiffer than previous year's versions of the bats. Although to be sure, it still feels flexible. But it isn't META or The Goods stiff.
Other wise, still the same "suspended" inner barrel, lizard skin grip, big barrel and sizing options as the 2020 Quatro Pro.
