Rated 4 out of 5 by from Hot bat 12 yo player, power hitter. Loves this bat, and other bats, too. This bat does seem to be more for power hitters and girls that can get the bat quickly to the zone, probably doesn't matter much at older ages but definitely something to consider in 12u and 10u. Mine does have the strength and speed and this bat will deliver. First tourney, the 2 times she pulled this one out it was 2 triples. She pulls it out of the bag if she is comfortable hitting at the current pitcher's speed. Building up confidence with it. We will see how it performs in the spring. We also had the original mantra but I think at the time, it was too heavy for her. She handles this one much better.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 14U Achieving Amazing Results We couldn't afford this new Mantra 2.0 but found a used 2021 Mantra and my daughter has increased her distance over a competitor's composite bat by an easy 30 feet. Doesn't makes sense in my mind that there is such a big difference but I'm not complaining by any means. Coach has moved her up to clean up and her RBI's are going through the roof. Was nervous about durability with picking up a used bat but after two months, it is not showing any signs of slowing down. Hoping for a tax refund in a couple months to surprise her with a new Mantra 2.0 or plus if all works out. Well done Rawlings on a quality and high performing bat.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Terrible- don’t waste your money. I bought this bat about a month ago. My daughter used it for her last game of the season. Second time up to the plate she swings and a piece comes flying off the bat. It ended up being the end cap where the blast button can be attached, but not just the little orange “dummy cap” the whole end piece flew right off. Mind you, my daughter is 11 and petite. She’s got a great swing, but she’s not Aaron Judge. We should not be rattling pieces loose. I contact CS and sent in pics they said to just glue it. Ummm, $400+ for a bat that was swung 2 times and I have to glue it back together? I obliged simply because I didn’t want to “waste” a warranty claim on that and have to go the whole year without anything else happening to it. Good thing I did too. Today we had an off-season practice, my daughter got up to bat and got a hit. Instantly, my husband, myself, and another parent all commented at how terrible her bat sounded. My husband checked it out, sure enough, it’s beat. Bat was used literally 3 times within its whole life, and never in adverse conditions, and we have had 2 separate issues. I really wish I wouldn’t have invested in the blast motion sensor specifically because I liked the idea of having it built in. Now I am financially invested and going to have to file a warranty claim on a bat that was clearly defective from the factory. I will not rest easy knowing we have 11 months left in the warranty and already had to file a claim. I’ve never had this issue with Easton or Demarini.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Lightweight My daughter and I both have used this fast pitch softball bat. She likes the light weight and the power/smoothness but the bat is a bit thinner than what she is used to and that has caused a bit of a transition period for her. I find the bat streamlined and smooth to hit with but I don’t get as much power from it as I would like. She actively competes in fast pitch and lifts weights so she might have a bit more upper body strength to put more power behind it. You can also add a sensor to the bar to analyze your swing. My daughter really likes this feature as eventually her swing has improved.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Impressive Bat This is one of the nicest bats I've ever used. First and foremost, the color of the bat is awesome, the electric blue is a nice touch. This bat has a lot of power ,a thin barrel, is lightweight and is high performing! This bat also has sensors in it that allow you to track your swing performance directly on your phone. I recommend not only this bat, but any Rawlings product.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Fastpitch Expert! The Rawlings - 2023 Rawlings Mantra 2.0 Fastpitch Bat is a great option for any fastpitch player looking for a high-performance bat. The bat features a composite construction that provides a perfect balance of power and control. The 2.0 version is an upgrade from the previous model, which is designed to provide a more efficient energy transfer from the handle to the barrel. The bat also features a balanced weight distribution, which allows for maximum speed and control. The grip is comfortable and provide a good grip. Highly recommend it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Bat! This bat is wonderful!! It is light enough to be able to get a powerful swing. The bat is very durable and when it comes in contact with the ball, it really sends the ball flying!! Having this bat has made a huge difference in the distance that I can hit the ball as well as the speed that the ball travels after making contact.
