Hey everyone! In case you haven't heard yet the Marucci Cat 5 bats are back in stock and ready to be shipped from JustBats.com. If you are tired of that awful vibration in your hands when making contact then this bat is the one for you. Marucci has developed some great new technology that drastically reduces the amount of vibration coming from the bat. When doing some tests with bat scientist Dr. Daniel A. Russell they found that this bat has a vibration dampening rate that's five and a half times higher than other competitors. So if you want a nice, smooth swing come check out this amazing bat at JustBats.com!

Hey everyone! To start off, I would like to introduce myself real quick. My name is Joey and I am a Graphic Designer here at JustBats.com. I am from Overland Park, KS and I love design. I am sure you have seen all the great photography, videos, and design work we do and even though I would like to take all the credit, it is all done by the awesome and talented creative team we have here.

As a part of the great culture at JustBats.com, we collectively write, design and print an in-house monthly newsletter that we like to call the RunDown. It includes articles about the workings of each department, games, interviews, pictures, fun facts and so much more. The RunDown has been a great tool used to communicate what is going on within the company since November 2008. Since each month has a different look or theme, it is fun to look back at old RunDowns and see all the great times we have had, what has changed, and how much the company has grown. Hopefully, one day we will have the RunDown ready and available for our customers to check out and enjoy it as much as we do!

JustBats.com would like to wish everyone here a happy and safe Holiday weekend. We hope you find it joyous and relaxing. As the hustle and bustle of the Holidays comes to an end we understand that some of you still have post-Holiday events that you will need last second gifts for. For those of you still trying to figure out what to get please check out JustBats.com and talk to one of our experts if you are unsure what kind of bat or glove that lucky someone will want or need. Thanks again to all of you for another great year, now go eat and be merry!

I’ve always felt that the times when I tend to focus more on work, I usually end up disappointed with the final result of my efforts. Its easy to lose sight of what I actually am working to accomplish when I put my focus on the amount of work that I may be putting into a project. This is extremely problematic, especially in a creative field, because then my creativity suffers and the quality of my work begins to decrease. This is why I choose to focus on the results of my labor instead of work itself. When I have a clear vision of what I am working for, I am more creative, timely, and satisfied with my final product.

Everybody here at JustBats.com would like to take a moment and say thank you to all of our customers that made 2011 an awesome year. We appreciate your business, your loyalty and helping us strive to be a better company. JustBats.com couldn't have had such a great year without the help of you. We are very excited to see what 2012 will bring us, but until then, please have a wonderful and safe Holiday. Again, thanks for being so amazing.

Sincerely,

Your Friends at JustBats.com
