Nothing like the MLB All-Star Game to bring out the hidden slugger in all of us. And with this year’s Home Run Derby just done, it turns out bat technology has brought bad-ass hitting within reach for the rest of us.

Here are a couple big sticks I dig for that “big-fly” feel.

Combat Virus Plague: ($300) If you can’t hit a monster slow-pitch home run with this sucker, it’s time to pick up another sport.

With a simply ridiculously large sweet spot, monster head and composite thin-wall construction, the fully balanced 30-ounce Virus Plague will give you that major league, fast bat head feel in a bat any amateur can swing. The graphics are over the top for this sports geek, but still for those looking for some  Sunday afternoon slow-pitch softball power, the Combat is the Virus to get.

DeMarini 2011 CF4: ($325) If you want to try to hit a baseball, this composite uber bat is the one to get.

DeMarini has pushed the boundaries of what a bat is with this sucker. With a mixed construction handle and head, it brings both unparalleled stick stiffness and head flexibility to maximize power and drive through each swing. The key with these bats is to keep it light to get the best bat speed. The models that may feel a little too light will get you the best swings.  For pure baseball power, DeMarini is setting the bar the CF4.
