The X868 Barrel is Worth's premium composite barrel formula that allows greater barrel flex at the point of contact. This flex response widens the effective hitting zone, meaning more balls leave the bat with maximum energy — even on slightly off-center hits. Combined with the 12.75" barrel diameter, the Highlighter XL gives you one of the largest hitting surfaces available in USSSA-certified slowpitch bats.
The R-FLEX (Regular Flex) Handle is specifically designed for hitters with faster, more aggressive swing mechanics. A regular-flex handle channels more of your rotational energy directly into the barrel at contact. If you generate natural bat speed and hit with a quick, powerful swing, this handle profile complements your mechanics and improves consistency. Compare options with other USSSA slowpitch bats to find your perfect match.
The XL .5 oz end-load shifts the bat's mass toward the barrel end, creating a momentum advantage through the hitting zone. Power hitters who use their legs and hips to generate rotational force will benefit most from this end-load profile. The result: deeper drives, harder-hit balls, and more balls carrying to the warning track and beyond.
