Built for hitters who stay patient, trust the process, and step up with total confidence when the pitch arrives. This is Combat MFG's CR-1 Outdoor platform in a 2-piece build — explosive power, smooth feel, and the identity of Bradley Jones baked into every swing.\n\nCombat Bradley Jones CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels — 2-Piece Power for USSSA Competition\n\nWith a 12-inch barrel and a 0.5 oz end load, the CSU6JOUTL delivers serious power while maintaining the smooth, controlled feel that hitters demand in big moments. The 2-piece composite construction separates this bat from the 1-piece Bradley Jones models — the connected barrel-to-handle design allows independent flex at contact, reducing sting and producing a whippy, dynamic feel through the zone.\n\nPaired with USSSA certification and engineered specifically for outdoor diamond conditions, this is the bat for power hitters who want maximum carry off the barrel without sacrificing control.

Multiple composite layers work in unison to maximize the trampoline effect, generating elite exit velocities and consistent pop across the 12-inch sweet spot. This is the same CR-1 technology trusted by competitive USSSA slowpitch hitters nationwide.\n\n•\n0.5 oz Loaded End Weight — End-loaded mass concentrates toward the cap, increasing swing momentum through the hitting zone for maximum carry off the barrel. Designed for slowpitch power hitters who rely on distance and explosion at contact to do their damage.\n\n•\n2-Piece Composite Construction — A connected 2-piece build allows the handle to flex independently from the barrel at the moment of contact. The result is a smooth, whippy feel that naturally reduces sting while still delivering the explosive power of a loaded composite bat. Ideal for hitters who want a dynamic feel through the zone without the stiffness of a one-piece design.\n\n•\nStiff Flex Handle — A firmer handle profile engineered for players who prefer more direct energy transfer through contact. The Stiff Flex Handle delivers a stiffer response than a soft-flex alternative, giving hitters a connected feel while still benefiting from the 2-piece construction's built-in sting reduction at the connection point.\n\n•\nCombat MFG Clinch Spec Grip — Ultra-tacky grip material keeps hands locked in with confident control through every swing. No slipping, no readjusting — just total focus and powerful execution from first pitch to final out.\n\n2-Piece vs. 1-Piece — Which Combat Bradley Jones CR-1 Outdoor Is Right for You?\n\nCombat MFG builds the Bradley Jones CR-1 Outdoor lineup in both 1-piece and 2-piece configurations to match different swing preferences and hitting styles.

The 2026 Combat MFG CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels Bradley Jones bat (CSU6JOUTL) is fully USSSA certified and approved for use in USSSA-sanctioned slowpitch softball leagues and tournaments. Always verify your league's current approved bat list before purchasing.\n\nWhat makes the CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels a 2-piece bat — and why does it matter?\n\nThe CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels uses a 2-piece composite build where the barrel and handle are bonded at a connection point rather than formed as a single unit. At contact, the handle flexes slightly independent of the barrel, creating a smooth, whippy feel that naturally reduces sting on off-center hits while still delivering explosive power. Hitters who find stiff 1-piece bats too harsh will immediately appreciate the difference a 2-piece construction makes at the plate.\n\nHow does this 2-piece bat compare to the Combat Bradley Jones 1-piece models?\n\nThe key differences come down to construction feel and barrel size. The 2-piece CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels (CSU6JOUTL) features a 12-inch barrel with a smooth, whippy feel from the 2-piece connection. The 1-piece CR-1 Outdoor Shooters Shoot models feature a larger 12.75-inch barrel with a stiffer, more direct feel. Both carry the same SPEC CR1 composite technology and 0.5 oz end load — the choice is purely about what feel you prefer through the zone. Check out our slowpitch bat buying guide if you need help deciding.\n\nWhat is SPEC CR1 Technology?\n\nSPEC CR1 Technology is Combat MFG's triple-barrel composite construction system — their highest-performance composite platform for slowpitch softball. Multiple composite layers generate a maximum trampoline effect across the full hitting surface, producing consistent high exit velocities, a large sweet spot, and reliable pop from the first swing to the last. It's the same platform trusted across the entire Combat Bradley Jones signature lineup.\n\nWhat is the end load on the CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels bat?\n\nThe CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels carries a 0.5 oz end load, concentrating swing mass toward the end cap to add momentum through the hitting zone. This translates to more carry, more distance, and explosive contact for hitters with the mechanics to consistently leverage an end-loaded swing weight. If you're comparing end-loaded options across brands, browse all USSSA end-loaded slowpitch bats we carry.\n\nWhat is the Stiff Flex Handle — and how does it feel different from other handle profiles?\n\nThe Stiff Flex Handle is a firmer handle profile built for hitters who want more direct energy transfer at contact. It sits between a rigid 1-piece handle and a soft-flex 2-piece handle on the stiffness spectrum — delivering a stiffer, more connected response that transmits power efficiently while still benefiting from the 2-piece construction's natural sting reduction at the connection point. Hitters who want a firm feel without going fully 1-piece will find the Stiff Flex Handle hits that ideal sweet spot.\n\nWhat barrel size does the Combat CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels bat have?\n\nThe CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels bat features a 12-inch barrel — a competition-standard barrel length in USSSA slowpitch softball that delivers a focused, powerful sweet spot optimized for consistent contact and high exit velocities on well-struck balls through the zone.\n\nIs the Combat CR-1 Outdoor built specifically for outdoor slowpitch play?\n\nYes. The Combat Outdoor Series is specifically engineered for outdoor slowpitch conditions — including longer field distances, outdoor-rated softballs, and the higher performance demands of outdoor tournament and league play. The CR-1 Outdoor platform is tuned to maximize barrel performance under these specific conditions. Combat MFG offers separate models designed for indoor or recreational play.\n\nDoes Smash It Sports offer free shipping on the Combat MFG CR-1 Outdoor Big Barrels bat?\n\nYes — Smash It Sports offers free shipping on eligible orders.
