Our research on the Axe bat design spans well over 2 years now and includes hours and hours of hitting experience. Add to that our obsession with learning everything about the 2017 Axe Danielle Lawrie Fastpitch Bat, and we have enough data for a review. On the whole, the Axe Lawrie is built as a value purchase in the light swinging fastpitch space.
It should serve well for the newer player looking for enhanced mechanics and a smart buy. Our younger hitters enjoy the predictive impact barrel and the ergonomic handle for a smoother feeling swing.

In terms of a drop 12 value purchase, we know of no other bat as good as the Lawrie fastpitch from Axe. Its ergonomic handle built to improve mechanics is perfect for the younger player looking to get the best hacks. The bat’s light drop 12 swing and entry-level price point fit the newer player well. If those characteristics describe you, then you may have found your bat.
Players looking for a light swinging value purchase in the fast-pitch space should seriously consider the Lawrie fast-pitch bat. The 2016 and 2017 should be interchangeable—unless a serious preference for design needs to be considered. Prices between the two during the time of this writing are rather similar.
Price CheckThe Axe Lawrie Fastpitch bat is a single piece and single-walled aluminum alloy bat. Of course, it comes in the traditional 2 1/4 fastpitch barrel size. What is most unique is the asymmetric handle, which allows for a smoother swing. It also forces a predictive impact on the same side of the barrel always to contact the ball. Knowing this, Axe engineers design that side of the barrel specifically for impact. They often refer to this as one-sided hitting.
In these regards, the 2017 Lawrie is no different than the 2016 version. With the color change’s obvious exception to match the baseball bat design for 2017, the 2017 Axe Lawrie is a reprint of 2016’s model. This is a common approach in the value, drop 12, fastpitch space.
The Axe Lawrie fastpitch bat comes only in a drop 12. However, its lengths are the widest in the market. They come as short as a 28 and as long as a 34. This allows for a huge range of options.

My 13 year old daughter uses Drop 12 Element and absolutely loves it and crushes it. Looking at Avenge and Avenge Lite but her friends and teammates are all about reputation and how much money it costs. Trying to talk her into at least trying Axe composite just for sheer fact that they have 30 day money back guarantee. I’m guessing after 30 days of school and travel ball she’ll realize it’s best bang for the buck
Why do you guys always choose the low end axe bats the axe avenge is the best bat on the market but never gets tested with its counterparts fro 2014 till now no bat on the market can hang with this thing I’ve seen and used every bat on your list and the axe out performs them all to be fare you must review the composite bat not the aluminum
