What if one small change could unlock outsized performance?
Major League Baseball is asking that question right now, thanks to a quirky new innovation called the torpedo bat. Adopted earlier this year by the Yankees (who went on to hit 15 home runs in 3 games with it) and now catching on across the league, these bats look a bit off—shorter barrel, mass redistributed, physics-forward design—but the results are undeniable: more home runs, sharper contact, and a surge in offensive firepower.
These bats were designed to do one thing: optimize the point of contact. By shifting the sweet spot closer to where hitters actually make contact, players aren’t changing their mechanics—they’re just getting more out of the swing they already have.
Elite Training Deserves Elite Tools
Every baseball player gets in hundreds of swings every day. They train. They analyze data. They look for marginal gains. But that small equipment tweak—the torpedo bat—has unlocked a new tier of performance by better aligning with how they naturally move.
Financial advisors are no different.
You’ve built your book. Refined your process. You know how to serve clients and grow your business. But what if your current firm is acting like an outdated piece of equipment? One that doesn’t match how you actually operate? One that limits what’s possible?
In that case, you don’t need a complete overhaul—you just need the right bat in your hands.
The Right Tool Can Change Everything
When Yankees hitters picked up torpedo bats, they didn’t change their swing. They just started making better contact.
“That’s what happens when advisors move to the right firm: everything starts to click,” notes Chris Stacey, COO of 3xEquity. Recent data supports this, showing that 80% of advisors grow their AUM after a move.
“Better technology. Faster support. More product flexibility. A higher payout. Less friction. You suddenly find yourself doing the same work you’ve always done—but with more power, more freedom, and more results.”
