There is a particular sound a senior softball makes when a 12 inch barrel with a full ounce of end load catches it flush, and once you've heard it, you'll know exactly why Anonymous named this bat the Freight Train. This is the most aggressive setup in the Anonymous senior lineup: a compact one-piece composite barrel that whips through the zone like a shorter bat, carrying an Apex Load that hits like a longer one. The short barrel concentrates the mass, the end load puts it exactly where contact happens, and the one-piece build sends every bit of your swing straight into the ball. It is built on the same platform as the Anonymous Immortal, a bat senior hitters already trust, and wrapped in a bold new design that looks like it is about to run something over. Because it is!
The barrel is built on KX KarbonShield, Anonymous' proprietary high-tensile multi-fiber carbon matrix reinforced with a Kevlar hybrid. That reinforcement is what lets a 12 inch senior barrel run this hot and hold together. Senior bats live at the top of the performance scale and get abused by strong hitters every weekend, and durability is usually the price of that performance. KarbonShield is Anonymous' way of buying back some of that durability without giving up the pop, reinforcing the barrel wall so it keeps its structure and its response across a full season. Anonymous tunes the barrel flex for exit velocity, and the layup produces a big, forgiving sweet spot on a barrel this short, so a ball caught a touch off center still comes off with intent. Available in 25, 26, 27, and 28 ounces, it covers everything from the strong contact hitter who wants a little extra carry to the cleanup bat who wants all of it.
A 12 inch Apex Load is a specialist's bat. It is quicker through the zone than a 13 inch Apex and hits with a more concentrated punch, and it is absolutely the right call for some senior hitters and the wrong one for others. That;s why you buy it from LongballBats.com.

QUESTION: What is the difference between the Freight Train and the Anonymous Immortal?
ANSWER: The Freight Train is built on the same platform as the Immortal: 12 inch one-piece composite barrel, KX KarbonShield construction, one ounce Apex Load, the same four weights, and the same SSUSA, USSSA Senior, and ISA approvals. Anonymous describes it as the Immortal's proven performance in a new design. So the two bats should feel and hit the same, and the choice comes down to which graphics you want in your hands. If you already swing an Immortal and love it, the Freight Train is a way to add a second gamer without changing your swing.
QUESTION: Why would I choose a 12 inch Apex bat over a 13 inch Apex like the Insomnia?
ANSWER: Barrel length changes how a bat swings. A 12 inch barrel concentrates the mass into a shorter section, which makes the bat feel quicker through the zone and gives it more whip, while a 13 inch barrel spreads the hitting surface out for a longer sweet spot. With a full ounce of end load on either one, the 12 inch Freight Train is the choice for a hitter who wants the heavy end load but still wants the barrel to feel fast and compact, often a hitter with a shorter, more direct swing. The 13 inch Insomnia suits a hitter with a longer swing who wants more surface to work with. Both hit hard! The right one is the one that matches your swing.
QUESTION: Why does Anonymous say not to use the Freight Train below 60 degrees?
ANSWER: This isn't just an Anonymous thing; most bat manufacturers warn against using their bats in cold weather. Composite bats are built from carbon fiber and resin, and cold temperatures make the resin brittle and the ball harder, which is a bad combination for a barrel engineered to flex at contact. Senior bats are built to run hotter than USA or USSSA bats, so their walls are thinner and more sensitive to cold, and there is no warranty to fall back on if one cracks. Anonymous' 60 degree guideline is about protecting your investment. On a cold morning, warm the bat up in the truck or our bat warmer, and keep a cheaper cold-weather bat in the bag for early spring and late fall games.
