Why a Lizard Skins grip?

The grip that comes on a new bat is usually the cheapest part of it — a thin synthetic wrap picked for cost, not feel. It gets slick when your hands sweat, packs down flat in a few weeks, and does nothing about the sting on a mishit. Swapping it for a Lizard Skins DSP Ultra is the biggest upgrade you can make to a bat for under $25, and it’s why you’ll see them on bats from Little League through the big leagues.

It stays tacky, wet or dry

DSP stands for Durable Soft Polymer. It has a slightly tacky surface, an oval pattern and multi-directional ridges that hold your hands in place through the swing whether it’s a humid July doubleheader or a wet April morning. Because the bat isn’t sliding, hitters stop death-gripping the handle — looser hands, quicker bat.

It takes the sting out

The polymer absorbs vibration on off-barrel contact instead of sending it into your hands. The thicker the grip, the more it dampens: 1.8 mm is the most cushion, 1.1 mm is the all-around favorite and our best seller, and 0.5 mm is the pro choice for wood bats when you want to feel everything.

It lasts

The reformulated DSP holds its texture season after season, and the premium adhesive keeps it locked to the handle instead of creeping or unraveling like a worn stock wrap. Every roll is 990 mm / 39 in with pre-cut ends and a finishing strip, and it fits wood, composite or aluminum.

It looks like your bat

80+ colorways — solids, camo, Outburst, patriotic, MLB team colors. Match your uniform or make your bat impossible to mix up in the dugout.

Five-minute install

On-grip markings show exactly where to start and stop. Peel the old grip, wrap the new one, tape the finish — no tools. Watch the install video.

CheapBats.com was the very first Lizard Skins dealer — our founder met theirs at a trade show, tried the grip, and we’ve carried it ever since. We still think it’s the best grip on the market.

Description

AXE STRATO 2 BBCOR BASEBALL BAT –3

The all-new Strato 2 features a redesigned 1-piece alloy construction, engineered to provide a new Power Hitter’s Sweet Spot that extends maximum performance all the way to the end of the barrel. This bat delivers the longest sweet spot, the highest BBCOR performance, and the lightest, fastest swing weight available. It’s the ultimate barrel for power hitters who want to maximize their swing speed. The Strato 2 is truly a hitter’s dream.

This model is equipped with the Pro Flared Axe Handle.

PRODUCT FEATURES

  • New Stiff 1-Piece Alloy

  • New Wall Thickness Profile: The Strato 2 features an optimized wall thickness that extends the sweet spot, delivering the highest BBCOR performance with the longest sweet spot, and the fastest, lightest swing. This combination creates a hitter’s dream bat.

  • New Power Hitter Sweet Spot: The updated wall-thickness profile allows for an extended sweet spot, designed specifically for power hitters. It optimizes performance at key hitting locations, especially towards the end of the barrel.

  • Fastest & Lightest Swing: The Strato 2 has reduced swing weight by 200 points, making it the lightest alloy BBCOR bat ever. A lower Moment of Inertia (MOI) translates to a faster, more efficient swing.

  • Lowest Compression: The barrel’s compression is reduced by up to 16% in select locations and 11% on average along the sweet spot, which enhances trampoline effect and barrel performance.

  • Highest Performance: The Strato 2 sees a significant increase in BBCOR performance, with a 5.75-point boost towards the end of the bat’s sweet spot, and a 3.70-point increase across the entire sweet spot. This results in the largest, highest-performing sweet spot of any BBCOR bat.

  • CNC Precision Barrel Technology: Every millimeter of the barrel is tuned for maximum performance, using variable wall thicknesses to eliminate unnecessary weight and optimize speed. CNC grooves strengthen the barrel walls, allowing for a lightweight, high-performing design.

  • Armor Alloy Ultra: This special alloy undergoes a unique heat treatment to enhance strength and durability, allowing for better flex without cracking or denting. It provides the thinnest, most responsive sweet spot to date.

  • Axe Handle Options: The Axe Handle improves grip and comfort, enabling faster, more controlled swings. Available in Pro Standard and Pro Flared options.

  • Composite HyperWhip 2 Endcap: The sleek, carbon-infused endcap reduces weight at the tip, enhancing swing speed and expanding the barrel’s performance area.

  • EndoGrid Vibration-Canceling Material: Reduces unwanted vibration, enhancing comfort and performance.

  • Approved for BBCOR

  • 2-5/8” Barrel

  • SKU: L137M-FLR

  • 1-Year Warranty

STRATO 2 BY THE NUMBERS

  • +5.75 BBCOR Points: The Strato 2 increases BBCOR performance by an average of +5.75 points towards the end of the barrel, providing the hottest power hitter location we’ve ever created.

  • +3.70 BBCOR Points: The overall sweet spot performance is improved by 3.70 points, making the Strato 2 our highest performing BBCOR bat.

  • Increased Max BBCOR Performance Area: The maximum performance zone has grown by 1.5 inches, giving players the largest BBCOR performance area ever in a bat.

  • Improved Barrel Trampoline Effect: Compression is lowered by up to 16% in certain areas and 11% on average across the sweet spot, boosting trampoline effect and barrel response.

  • 200-Point Reduction in Swing Weight: With a reduction in Moment of Inertia (MOI), the Strato 2 becomes our lightest and fastest BBCOR bat.

WHY STRATO 2?

  • Increased Power Hitter “End of the Bat” Performance: The Strato 2 delivers a +5.75-point BBCOR boost towards the end of the bat, creating the hottest power hitter location available.

  • Enhanced Overall Sweet Spot Performance: With a 3.70-point increase in overall sweet spot performance, the Strato 2 is the hottest BBCOR bat we’ve ever made.

  • Expanded Max BBCOR Performance Area: The sweet spot area has been extended by 1.5 inches, providing the largest max performance area of any BBCOR bat.

  • Improved Barrel Trampoline Effect: Lowered compression maximizes trampoline effect for a more responsive barrel and increased ball exit speed.
