2021 Rawlings Mantra Fastpitch Bat | Hot Fastpitch Bats
Rawlings bought Easton. The Mantra is a collaboration between the two companies, Easton's GA tech and Rawlings Qpro tech. The result was the Mantra. Everything I hear is it has as much pop as the GA with the durability of the Qpro. I'll let you all know after I get my hands on one.
I've heard that the Mantra was designed and being built before the Easton merger. And that Easton didn't have much to do with it. The timing of that does make sense, as bats aren't produced over-night. But of course I have no idea what the true story is.
