The Combat Coastal Bradley Jones 12-Inch Loaded USSSA Slowpitch Bat combines retro beach style with Bradley Jones’ aggressive, power-focused setup. Its compact barrel, loaded weighting, and stiff handle create a bat designed for hitters who want to turn quickly and drive through the ball with authority.\n\nBring the heat to the shoreline with performance technology built for heavy contact. The Coastal is part of the Combat MFG slowpitch bat lineup and shares its SPEC CR1 composite platform with the rest of the Combat MFG catalog, so you're getting a proven, tour-tested barrel in a fresh finish.\n\nSPEC CR1 Technology \u0026amp; Signature Features\n\n•\nSPEC CR1 Technology: Triple-barrel composite construction engineered for responsive performance across the entire hitting surface.\n\n•\nBradley Jones Signature Model: Designed around the specifications preferred by one of slowpitch’s premier power hitters.\n\n•\n12-Inch Barrel: A compact barrel profile built for hitters who value quick rotation and concentrated barrel control.\n\n•\nLoaded Swing Weight: A 0.5-ounce end load adds extra mass behind the barrel through contact.\n\n•\nStiff Flex Handle: Creates a firm connection between the hands and barrel for a direct feel during the swing.\n\n•\nTwo-Piece Construction: Separates the handle and barrel to help manage vibration while maintaining powerful energy transfer.\n\n•\nClinch Spec Grip: An ultra-tacky Combat MFG grip provides the traction and cushion needed to swing with confidence.\n\nQuick Specs\n\n•\nModel: Combat Coastal CR-1 Bradley Jones (CSU6BJCSTL)\n\n•\nCertification: USSSA slowpitch approved\n\n•\nBarrel: 12-inch, SPEC CR1 triple-barrel composite\n\n•\nConstruction: Two-piece composite\n\n•\nSwing Weight: Loaded, 0.5 oz end load\n\n•\nHandle: Stiff flex\n\n•\nGrip: Clinch Spec tacky grip\n\n•\nPlayer Series: Bradley Jones signature\n\nChoose your length and weight from the options above — every configuration keeps the same 12-inch loaded barrel and stiff-flex handle described here.\n\nWhy Power Hitters Choose the Coastal\n\nThe biggest waves demand total commitment. A compact 12-inch barrel means less mass to turn over, so you can catch up to inside pitches without sacrificing the loaded pop Bradley Jones swings by. Pair that with a stiff-flex handle for direct feedback and a two-piece build that tames vibration, and you have a bat built to dig in, let it rip, and send every mistake deep.\n\nLooking for the full lineup?

The Combat Coastal CR-1 Bradley Jones bat is certified for USSSA-sanctioned slowpitch softball leagues and tournaments, so it’s ready for league play out of the wrapper. Browse our full range of certified USSSA slowpitch softball bats if you’re comparing options.\n\nWhat does “loaded” swing weight mean on this bat?\n\nA loaded, or end-loaded, swing weight shifts more mass toward the barrel end of the bat. On the Coastal Bradley Jones, that’s a 0.5-ounce end load that adds extra mass behind the 12-inch barrel through contact, giving power hitters more pop without changing the bat’s overall length.\n\nHow is the Coastal different from other Combat MFG Bradley Jones bats?\n\nThe Coastal shares Bradley Jones’ signature SPEC CR1 construction and stiff-flex handle with the rest of the lineup, but pairs it with a retro beach-inspired finish and a two-piece build tuned for quick barrel turnover. See how it stacks up against the other releases in our Bradley Jones CR-1 model comparison.\n\nDoes the two-piece construction reduce sting on mishits?\n\nYes. Separating the handle and barrel in a two-piece bat helps absorb and manage vibration on off-center contact, while still transferring energy efficiently into the ball on square hits — a good middle ground between a stiffer one-piece feel and softer feedback.\n\nHow long does a composite barrel like SPEC CR1 take to break in?\n\nMost composite slowpitch barrels reach peak performance after roughly 150–200 swings at moderate speed, rotating the barrel a quarter turn between hits to break it in evenly. Avoid hitting in temperatures below 60°F while breaking it in.\n\nWhat weight options are available for the Combat Coastal Bradley Jones bat?\n\nSelect your preferred weight from the options above this description. Every listed weight is built on the same loaded swing-weight platform Bradley Jones uses, carrying the same 0.5-ounce end load and 12-inch barrel profile.","brand":"Sports Performance Park","offers":[{"title":"25oz","offer_id":58562158330230,"sku":"CSU6BJCSTL-25","price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/6640\/0374\/files\/CSU6BJCSTL-WEBFRONT.3268.jpg?v=1787963089","url":"https:\/\/sportsperformancepark.shop\/products\/2026-combat-mfg-coastal-cr-1-bradley-jones-2-piece-usssa-slowpitch-softball-bat-csu6bjcstl","provider":"Sports Performance Park","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
