2026 Louisville Slugger Genesis Matt Brady 12" Maxload USSSA Slowpitch Softball Bat

The Louisville Slugger 2026 Genesis Matt Brady 2PC 12” Maxload USSSA Bat is built for hitters who thrive under pressure and live for big swings. With a compact 12” barrel and a .75 oz Maxload, this Genesis is made for players who want to feel the barrel work—turning clean contact into game-changing results with a tight, aggressive hitting profile.

Built with SSP-PowerXcoil Composite, this two-piece construction is designed to break in fast while maintaining long-term durability and reliable compression, keeping the barrel hot and responsive through long seasons and tournament grinds. The Double-Wall Barrel System and patented XPND End Cap reinforce the barrel for explosive response and durability where it matters most, while the QWK 2.0 Connection System helps minimize vibration for a smoother, more controlled feel when you swing with full intent.

FAQ

Who is Louisville Slugger Matt Brady best for?
Power hitters who want a heavy-loaded swing with a compact 12” barrel—ideal for players who like a more concentrated hitting zone and want the barrel to finish hard through contact.

What does a .75 oz Maxload feel like?
It adds noticeable barrel weight for more momentum and carry. If you like feeling the barrel work and driving the ball with authority, Maxload is your lane.

Why choose a 12” barrel instead of a 13”?
A 12” barrel gives a tighter, more precise sweet spot and a “whip-and-punish” feel. Many experienced hitters prefer it for control and explosive damage when they square it.

Is this bat legal for my league/tournament?
It’s approved for USSSA, and also listed for ISA and NSA. (Always double-check any event-specific bat rules.)

Does it come with a warranty?
Yes, this model includes a 1-year manufacturer warranty.
