Composite fast pitch softball bats are constructed of carbon fiber and reinforced with plastic. In order to maximize performance, experts recommend a break-in period for any new composite bat in order to strengthen and compress the fibers. While there are several illegal methods of breaking in a composite softball bat, the method approved by the American Softball Association involves hitting at half speed from a tee and gradually working up to full-speed hits for a total of 200 swings.
