Shelton, Conn. June 1, 2007---Mattingly Sports is excited to announce the 2008 line-up of Mattingly Composite, Aluminum and Wood bats all with the patented V-Grip™ technology. The exclusive Mattingly V-Grip™ instantly forces perfect knocking knuckle alignment to immediately increase bat head speed. As the first and only bat to combine both the latest barrel technology and this performance enhancing grip into one dynamically engineered bat - the Mattingly V-Grip™ bats deliver significant performance advantages over traditional competitive bats.
The showpiece of the line is the new composite bat, the BEAST. The BEAST's XWC Xtreme Weave Carbon Sweetspot Barrel is designed to power-load your energy and deliver the maximum trampoline effect so your ball explodes off the bat on contact. The second generation aluminum bats, following the success of the MVP, PRO and CPT bats, are now the Ripped and V-Force. The "Ripped" is made with Mattingly's advanced MB55Sc Scandium aluminum alloy. These bats feature Direct Power Transfer stiff-handle technology and a Locked-N-Loaded End Plug which delivers unyielding stiffness to both the handle and the taper areas forcing maximum energy to the barrel. Mattingly wood bats come in either pure grade ash or rock-hard maple in both youth and adult sizes. Additionally, Mattingly continues to provide the training favorite of many of today's pros the V-Train Bat. In addition to the bat line, Mattingly has expanded the associated accessories with two outstanding carry-all bat bags, the Beast Wheeled Bag and the Beast Back Pack and matching high-end professional BEAST Cabretta leather bat gloves. An expanded apparel assortment of performance polos, tees and hats is also available.
"What a year it has been! We are now known as one of the hottest selling and fastest growing brands on the market," exclaims Skip Shaw, President, Mattingly. These new exciting 2008 V-Grip™ products are in the hands of thousands of players and these performance enhancing bats do the talking for us now. The V-Grip™ is being recognized as one of the greatest baseball bat innovations since wood to aluminum. Best of all, with such marked hitting improvement it makes you fall in love with the game all over again”, says Shaw.
Company Founder and inventor of the Mattingly V-Grip™, Don Mattingly adds, "I want everyone to enjoy the game as much as I do and I believe if you can hit to your potential then you can't help but love baseball and softball. Until now, gripping a bat properly was one of the most difficult hitting fundamentals to learn, but with the Mattingly V-Griptm it's no longer an obstacle to overcome. What used to take hours or repetition to learn, now just takes an instant with my Mattingly V-grip bat."
