COMBAT MFG Spec XR-1 Craig Upton Loaded

The XR-1 Craig Upton Loaded is a semi-flex two-piece senior bat with slight end load and a 12.25" barrel — a configuration built around precision and feel rather than maximum power or maximum forgiveness. The 12.25" contact window is tighter than the senior catalog average, which raises the demand on timing and path while delivering a more direct, responsive feel on clean contact. The semi-flex hinge adds snap that helps the slight load accelerate through the zone more efficiently than a stiff frame allows. The slight end load adds real carry on flush contact without crossing into territory that punishes timing mistakes the way a heavier design would. Senior players with consistent mechanics who want a precise, lively bat rather than a wide, forgiving one will find this configuration rewarding. The style rating is high — the Craig Upton colorway is a standout in the senior lineup. Available in 25-27 oz, which is on the lighter end for a senior bat with end load — a deliberate choice that keeps swing speed accessible for the senior game.
