Ryan Ramirez got the nickname "Rook" in high school, back when he was the kid playing summer ball with the college guys. The college guys don't call him that anymore! The 2026 BoombahPure Ryan Ramirez Signature Rook is the bat that carries the name, and it's built the way a power hitter's signature bat should be: a full 13 inch barrel, a two-piece composite construction, and Pure's Nuke Load, the heaviest end load in the BoombahPure lineup. This is the bat for the hitter who wants maximum momentum through the zone and a ball that finishes its flight on the other side of the fence. Pure is now powered by Boombah, which means Pure's composite engineering with Boombah's reach behind it, and the Rook is the headliner of that partnership's 2026 slowpitch line.
The build is a study in how to make a heavy end load feel controllable. The 13 inch barrel runs on Pure's X25 Barrel Technology, a composite system tuned for a hot, responsive barrel with effortless flex and a sweet spot that runs the length of the hitting surface, so a ball an inch off center still carries. Behind it is Pure's Pro Handle, which stiffens the swing for pure, direct energy transfer, a smart choice on a Nuke Load because a stiff handle keeps the extra mass moving into the ball instead of bleeding off in handle flex. The BTG (Bat Traction Grip) surface adds tack and comfort for a secure hold when you let it eat. And Pure's Incremental Loading system calibrates the end load on every bat so the swing weight matches the stated load, which is why one Rook feels like the next. Sanctioned for USSSA, NSA, and ISA play, and backed by a one year warranty.
A Nuke Load is the real thing, and it isn't the right bat for every USSSA hitter. That's where LongballBats.com earns your business!

QUESTION: What does "Rook" mean, and who is Ryan Ramirez?
ANSWER: Rook is short for rookie, a nickname Ryan Ramirez picked up in high school when he was the youngest guy on a summer ball team full of college players. He kept the name, and when Pure and Boombah built his signature bat, he put it on the barrel. Ryan is one of the power hitters in the BoombahPure stable, and the Rook is designed to his preferences: a 13 inch barrel, a stiff Pro Handle, and the heaviest end load Pure makes. The graphics are Ryan's too, built around the Rook identity rather than a stock Pure colorway.
QUESTION: What's the difference between Nuke, Boom, and Control loads?
ANSWER: Those are Pure's three swing weights. Control is balanced, with no added end weight, for hitters who want bat speed and barrel control. Boom is a moderate end load that adds momentum without a dramatic change in feel, and it's where most power hitters land. Nuke is Pure's maximum end load, built for hitters who already swing end-loaded bats comfortably and want the most mass they can control. The Rook is a Nuke Load. If you're coming from a balanced bat, start with a Boom. If you already swing heavy and want more, the Rook is the one.
QUESTION: Which leagues is the Rook legal in?
ANSWER: The M3B1-6131 is sanctioned for USSSA, NSA, and ISA slowpitch, the three associations that share the same higher-performance bat standard, which covers the vast majority of competitive tournament softball. It's not certified for USA/ASA play, which uses a more restrictive standard, and it's not a senior bat. If you play USA/ASA, you'll need a separate bat with that stamp, and we can help you match the weight and load, just contact us. As always, confirm your league's approved bat list before game day.
