2026 Marucci Gridlock 13" Endload 2PC USSSA Slowpitch Softball Bat: MSPGLCB2LU

The Marucci Gridlock USSSA Slowpitch Bat – Cobalt Blue 13” 2PC Loaded is built for hitters who want a firm barrel response, efficient energy transfer, and a slightly endloaded swing. Its two-piece composite construction combines a stiff, responsive barrel with a high-flex handle to deliver power without sacrificing comfort or control.

X2A Barrel Technology uses a high-response composite layup and optimized stiff-wall architecture to create a direct, explosive feel at contact. The 13” barrel offers an expanded sweet spot, while the unified composite matrix promotes consistent energy return throughout the hitting surface.

Modulated Stiffness Technology fine-tunes the relationship between barrel stiffness and handle flex for improved control, feel, and energy transfer. The two-piece design also isolates vibration on mishits, making this Gridlock a strong choice for committed hitters who want a loaded profile and lasting performance.
