The barrel size is remarkable considering the all aluminum design. The bat's knob has a dampener (proprietary) that dampens sting considerably.

Construction

The CAT 8 OTM is a single piece bat built with several unique features that make it feel different than traditional single piece bats. Including technology in the knob that helps dampen sting. And, too, variable thickness in the walls to extend the sweet spot, lower swing weight and increase the barrel size.
