Walk into a senior softball dugout with the Anonymous Outsiders and somebody's going to ask if you're really about to swing wood. Let them wonder! The Outsiders wears a woodgrain-look finish that could pass for an old ash bat from across the diamond, but the moment it meets a ball, the whole park knows better. Underneath that finish is a full 13 inch one-piece composite barrel built on Anonymous' Apex platform, the same setup that senior players have been using to hit balls over fences for the last few seasons. The look is a nod to the way the game used to be played. The performance is thoroughly modern. And the combination is exactly the kind of thing that made Anonymous a cult favorite among senior hitters who want something a little different from the same three brands in every rack.
The Apex Load is the reason this bat exists. A full ounce of end weight puts real mass through the hitting zone, and it is aimed at the senior hitter who has the strength and swing to use it: the guy who drives the ball to the fence and wants the extra carry to get it over. The 13 inch barrel gives that swing a long, forgiving hitting surface, so contact that lands a couple inches off center still comes off with authority. One-piece construction keeps the feel direct and responsive, with no connection joint dulling the feedback, so you know instantly when you have squared one up. Anonymous finishes the barrel with its SRT Tacky Barrel Finish, a factory surface texture that adds grip at contact and gives the Outsiders the same familiar barrel feel as the rest of the Apex lineup. Available in 25, 26, 27, and 28 ounces, it covers everything from the aggressive contact hitter to the true cleanup bat.
A one ounce end load is a serious piece of equipment, and it's not the right bat for every senior hitter. That's where LongballBats.com earns your business! We've been the Bat Performance Experts since 2016, our staff carries more than 100 years of combined baseball and softball experience, and we stock the entire Anonymous senior line, so we can tell you honestly whether the Outsiders' Apex Load fits your swing or whether you would hit better with the half ounce Enhanced Load or a balanced Neutral. Call us, tell us what you swing now and how the ball is coming off it, and we'll give you a straight answer. The right bat is the one that makes you better, not the one that looks the coolest! Although this one does look pretty cool.

QUESTION: Is the Outsiders a wood bat, and is it legal in senior softball?
ANSWER: It is not wood. The Outsiders is a one-piece composite senior bat with a woodgrain-look finish, so it hits like a modern senior composite while looking like something out of a black and white photograph. It is approved for SSUSA, USSSA Senior, and ISA play, which covers the vast majority of senior leagues and tournaments in the country. It is a senior bat, so it is not legal in USA, USSSA open division, or NSA slowpitch. Expect a few umpires to take a closer look at the stamps the first time you bring it to the plate, and then expect them to stop noticing once they see where the ball goes.
QUESTION: Who should swing the Apex Load instead of the Enhanced or Neutral?
ANSWER: The Apex Load is Anonymous' heaviest swing weight, with a full ounce of end weight. It's built for hitters who already generate good bat speed and want more mass behind the ball, typically the power hitters in the middle of a senior lineup. If you are coming from a balanced bat and aren't sure, start with the half ounce Enhanced Load, which adds carry without a big change in feel. If you already swing end-loaded bats and want the most the Anonymous lineup offers, the Apex is your bat. The rule of thumb is simple: if the end load slows your hands down, it's too much, and no amount of mass will make up for lost bat speed.
QUESTION: What does the SRT Tacky Barrel Finish do, and is it allowed?
ANSWER: SRT Tacky is a factory barrel surface applied by Anonymous during manufacturing. It gives the barrel a slightly grippier texture at contact, which many hitters feel as a more secure, solid connection with the ball. Because it's part of the bat's original construction and the bat carries SSUSA, USSSA Senior, and ISA approval as built, it is fully legal in those organizations. It is not an aftermarket coating or an added substance, so it does not fall under the rules against altering a bat. Anonymous uses the same finish across its Apex platform, so if you have swung an Inception or Insomnia, the Outsiders will feel familiar in your hands.
