Distance9.5The first time I used this bat was in 2004 in Columbus, OH. Line drives was leaving at 310 ft. I was impressed. The more swings, the hotter it got. Great bat from TPS.

Distance10My buddy bought one for fall ball. Sweet spot is small, but has INSANE pop! With this bat, if you miss, you miss bad, but good hitters will love the distance when you get a hold of on with the sweet spot. Nice alternative to the Freak, which is still number one in my book.

Distance9.5Great feeling bat, does need some breaking in. Smoking line drives and decent distance right out of the wrapper. Unique look will help spare some infielders. Can't wait till it's full awakened, right up there with all the other top composites.

Distance10ive had my catty since mid january and out of the wrapper, in 30-40 degree weather, it was the hottest bat around the park. im not a very big guy, but i have hit some massive, and i do massive bombs with this bat. tournament after tournament, it has gotten hotter, and hotter. ive seen no sign of a lack of durability either, my catty is incredible.

Distance10This very well could be the next great bat since the ultra only with far better durability. I've read where people complain about paint chipping, that can actually be a good thing on composite bats because the fibers or stretching and getting more broken in which translates into more flex and more ball speed.

Distance10i bought my cat 3 months ago after watching this guy on a team we were playing hit some BOMBS with his. he let me take about 20 cuts after the game and i was sold, the pop and distance are incredible. i play 3rd base and take a few steps back anytime the cat is being used.

Distance10Our team just received our package deal, and I have to say I'm a big TPS fan, but this thing is AWESOME!!! We hit the first day we received them and you talk about HOT off the press. Even the little guys were hitting seeds. All I gotta say is WATCH OUT infielders.

Distance10After guilt feelings for not giving props;I now must compliment this bats engineers.I hit at least 50 or more balls daily,without fail.I play in leagues year round,and winter months are included;I have broken every bat due to cold weather,not this one.Its has taken me through homerun derby wins,tourneys,and practice.It has toughness to trampoline and bite the hardest softballs.With tremendous batspeed and technique this bat will wow those stuck on its color.I use the 27 oz,but will rock for more distance via 30 oz.A bat weight is no problem to its durability........Listen for the whispers"Don't hit it to me"...........

Distance10This is the best bat I've ever hit. Great for bombs or base hits. This bat will fire off some of the nastiest nuckle ball you'll ever try to field. Only down fall is the paint chipping mine is getting pretty bad. Also you will get stung if you don't hit the ball right. overall the best

Distance10Last year we got this bat from Louisville one of our sponsers and right out of the wrapper I was hitting bombs with it. I love the freak and synergy 2, but I will have to use this bat. I was hitting 400ft bombs on a soccer field before our game. My whole team is getting one. THIS IS A MUST HAVE!!!

Distance10i swung this bat both right out of the wrapper and after about 500 swings it felt the same both times...playing for tps makes me a little biased but i'll take this over the the freak or freak plus or any other bat hands down. it was great when all the hr's were gone as well. the ball just screamed off the thing with little effort. unbelievable!!!

Distance10it took a while (since the genesis) TPS has a winner, new catalyst is hot out the wrapper. swung it in fresno on labor day wknd, WWSSSA demo (aka bat wars). very balanced, like the ultra II . we were hitting rocks in fresno, 525 comp, do not how it does with a low comp ball. this bat is a keeper, plus the graphics are cool. cant wait to have it in my bag.

Distance10THIS IS THE HOTTEST STICK SINCE THE ULTRAS. i hit my longest homer of my life with this stick today, 385ft. well the field was 285 and i hit it into some cudzoo a good 90-100 ft away. The line drives were solid, homers long and grounders fast. TPS HAS SET THE NEW STANDARD OF SLOW PITCH SOFTBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!

Distance10I had the opportunity to hit with my Catalyst today in a tournament. I am 5' 10" tall and weight about 180 lbs. I had a couple of hits that were 340' plus. The feel is awesome! The pop outstanding. I highly recommend this one! The only durability thing I see right now is the paint chips. Other than that it rocks!
