The 2024 Victus Vandal Lev3 is a light-swinging, one-piece alloy line built for hitters who want bat speed with a more comfortable knob feel. It’s a fit for players who like the stiff, direct one-piece vibe but want less sting and a more comfortable handle experience. The knob tech is the headline update compared to earlier Vandal versions.
Models Overview
Vandal Lev3 is positioned as the next step in the Vandal line, replacing the Vandal II across USSSA drops and a BBCOR version. The profile is a good-sized barrel with a light swing and a one-piece feel, with the added benefit of a sting-dampening knob concept borrowed from the Marucci family.
Construction & Technology
One-piece alloy built with VXP aluminum alloy and a ringless barrel design with multi-variable wall thickness for a more flexible sweet spot. The construction calls out a carbon composite barrel end to reduce end weight, an ergonomic handle taper, and vibration-reducing knob technology intended to minimize sting and unwanted feedback on off-center hits. In hand, expect a quick, light-swinging one-piece profile with honest feedback.
Performance Comparison
Compared to the 2022 Vandal II, the main change called out for Lev3 is the sting-dampening knob technology. Otherwise it stays in the same Vandal lane: light-swinging, one-piece alloy feel.
Comparable Bats
Comparable light-swinging one-piece alloys include the DeMarini Voodoo One, Easton’s ALX line, and the Marucci CAT X—similar stiff one-piece feels where the differences are barrel shape, balance, and knob/handle comfort.

The Bottom Line
