No Dents, Cracks, or Rattles. No Manufacturer Warranty. Designed with a thermally treated AZR alloy for a more responsive and forgiving feel, the balanced one-piece CAT9 features a massive sweet spot that is ready to do damage right out of the wrapper. One-Piece Alloy Construction: clean, consistent, traditional swing feel Precision Balanced Barrel: produces a lower M.O.I. for precision and control 2nd Generation AV2 Anti-Vibration Knob: an upgraded, finely tuned harmonic dampening system for better feel and less negative vibrational feedback AZR Alloy: a more responsive microstructure for better feel, more forgiveness and more performance while maintaining the same strength as its predecessor Multi-Variable Wall Design: expanded sweet spot and thinner walls for more forgiving off-centered performance Ring-Free Barrel Construction: allows for more barrel flex and increased performance with no "dead" spots Micro-Perforated Soft-Touch Grip: soft and tacky grip for improved feel and control

The Marucci CAT 9 features a single piece of aluminum with multivariable wall thickness, extending the sweet spot and reducing swing weight. The CAT9 features a Ring-free barrel which allows for more flex within the barrel and minimizes dead spots through the bat. This model includes new technologies like the AV2 knob to dampen sting on mishits and is available in BBCOR, USSSA, and USA versions.

They took the same design from the CAT8 and strengthened the CAT9 with a stronger alloy to avoid any denting issues. It's a very good, durable bat. The CAT9 will be a bit heavier than the CAT8; it's a better bat for stronger players. The first generation of the CAT9 came out with a gray, black, and red paint job. The second generation they called the Past Time, which was red, white, and blue. It's the same bat, but a different paint job. The second bat was more popular simply because of how it looked. Everyone likes the American Flag with its Stars and Stripes.
