2026 Marucci Asura Rise Fastpitch (-11)

2026 Marucci ASURA Rise -11 Fastpitch Softball Bat (MFPASR11)

The 2026 Marucci ASURA Rise -11 Fastpitch Softball Bat (MFPASR11) is a premium two-piece composite fastpitch bat designed for competitive travel ball, high school, and advanced players who want a combination of bat speed, barrel responsiveness, forgiveness, and power. Featuring Marucci's EVolve Composite Technology, Gap Sync Barrel Technology, PFX Composite Handle, and True Flex (TFX) Endcap, the ASURA Rise delivers a responsive hitting surface with a smooth two-piece feel.

With a 2 1/4-inch barrel, -11 length-to-weight ratio, and slightly end-loaded swing feel, the ASURA Rise gives hitters more barrel presence than a traditionally balanced -11 while maintaining the speed and control competitive fastpitch players expect.

Finished in a distinctive Light Blue colorway, the MFPASR10 is stamped for USSSA, USA Softball (ASA), NSA, ISA, and WBSC/ISF.

EVolve Composite Barrel Technology

Marucci's EVolve Composite Technology uses progressively angled carbon-fiber layers engineered to optimize barrel responsiveness while maintaining the durability required for competitive fastpitch softball.

The advanced composite construction allows the barrel to flex efficiently at impact, creating a responsive feel and consistent performance across the hitting surface.

Gap Sync Barrel Technology – Larger, More Responsive Hitting Zone

The Gap Sync Barrel Technology utilizes an advanced internal gap architecture designed to optimize movement between the barrel walls at impact.

This construction helps create a larger effective sweet spot and responsive trampoline effect, providing additional forgiveness when contact occurs away from the center of the barrel.

For hitters facing faster pitching, that expanded performance zone can provide greater confidence when timing or contact isn't perfect.

Slightly End-Loaded Swing Feel

The Marucci ASURA Rise -10 features a slightly end-loaded swing profile, placing additional mass toward the barrel compared with a traditionally balanced fastpitch bat.

This configuration is designed for hitters who want additional barrel momentum and driving power while retaining the manageable swing speed of a drop-10 bat.

It is particularly well suited for strong contact hitters, gap-to-gap hitters, and developing power hitters who prefer feeling the barrel throughout the swing.

PFX Composite Handle – Weight-Specific Flex

Marucci's PFX Composite Handle is engineered with flex characteristics specifically calibrated to the bat's weight drop.

For the -10 ASURA Rise, the handle is tuned to optimize swing quickness, leverage, barrel control, power transfer, and overall feel.

Combined with the two-piece construction, the PFX handle also helps reduce unwanted vibration before it reaches the hitter's hands.

True Flex (TFX) Endcap

The True Flex (TFX) Endcap is engineered to allow the composite barrel walls to flex more freely near the end of the hitting surface.

By reducing unnecessary restriction at the barrel end, the TFX design complements the Gap Sync construction and helps improve responsiveness and forgiveness across more of the barrel.

Enhanced Soft-Touch Grip & Updated Knob

A premium 1.75mm Enhanced Soft-Touch Grip uses a debossed surface pattern to provide additional traction, cushioning, and control.

Marucci also redesigned the knob for improved ergonomics and hand comfort, helping hitters maintain a secure grip during aggressive swings, extended practices, and tournament play.
