Metal Bats (Louisville Slugger Gen 1 X Technology)
“Louisville Slugger, the world’s leading bat manufacturer, and Alcoa, the number one supplier of aluminum bat tubing, have teamed up to offer GEN1X-the strongest and toughest alloy ever developed for aluminum bats.
In aluminum bat construction, the alloy’s “yield strength” is key to bat design, performance and durability. GEN1X, the strongest alloy on the market, measures over 100 ksi (the measurement of an alloy’s strength). The result is the most technologically advanced line of aluminum bats to ever be developed.
Years in development, Alcoa Research and Development Engineers formulated a breakthrough combination of Aluminum, Xinc, Copper, Zirconium, Magnesium and traces of Titanium to obtain this incredible strength.”
