What is the quick review?

The 2023 Victus Nox 2 is a two-piece hybrid bat with a heavy swing weight that comes in a BBCOR and USSSA drop 10, 8, and 5. We are fans and a lot of hitters who want a durable bat but still an excellent feel, as well as can handle a bit of load, really like the Nox. The Nox 2 is a lot like the original Nox, so we expect it to do well and get good reviews across the board. We think the BBCOR version and the drop 8 in USSSA are stars.

What models and sizes are available?

The 2023 Victus NOX 2 is a big-time bat for big hitters. This is not for the faint of heart. Those who want a light swing and a big barrel should look elsewhere. But if you can handle some mass and enjoy some of the highest swing weights for its length, then take a close look at the NOX.

How is it built?

The NOX 2 is a two-piece hybrid bat with a carbon composite handle and military-grade aluminum barrel. It uses the 2SIX connection system to reduce vibrations and increase energy transfer. The barrel is ringless and made with multi-variable wall thicknesses for a flexible sweet spot. It has a pro-tapered handle for better control and a soft-touch grip for improved feel. It is USSSA 1.15 BPF certified and comes with a one-year warranty.

How does it compare?

The major change for the 2021 NOX is the upgrade in the connection piece. It appears to be a stiffer feel with a little more durability. But, time will only tell if as this bat gets in more hitters hands.
