The Short Porch XGirlfriend Cranston Holden Signature USSSA Slowpitch Softball Bat features a 12.5-inch barrel, one-piece construction, and .5 oz endload, giving hitters a compact, direct-feeling swing profile with added barrel presence through the zone.
Built with an aramid composite barrel, the XGirlfriend is designed around a firm one-piece feel through contact. The 12.5" barrel provides a concentrated hitting surface, while the half-ounce endload adds additional mass toward the end of the bat without creating the heavier feel of a full-ounce endload.
The barrel also incorporates Spin Tech, Short Porch’s textured barrel-surface design intended to increase barrel-to-ball interaction and promote additional spin on contact.
This Cranston Holden Signature Edition is approved for USSSA, ISA, and NSA slowpitch play and is available in 25 oz, 26 oz, and 27 oz configurations. Short Porch backs the bat with a 180-day manufacturer warranty, provided it is registered within 30 days of purchase.

QUESTION: Should I order this bat stock/untouched or Heat Rolled with Progressive Pressure?
ANSWER: If you order your new bat Heat Rolled with Progressive Pressure, it will be delivered to you completely and evenly broken in. This process adds 20-40ft of distance to your solid hits, improves consistency, increases durability and adds 2-3 business days of lead time to your order. If you plan to use the bat in an official game or event, please verify the legality of our process with your league or sanctioning body before use. We (LongballBats.com) do not encourage the use of a Heat Rolled bat in any game or event where it is against the rules. Click here for details about our process!
