Easton Baseball
Bat Reviews

Quality is everything and when
performing at any level you want your equipment to match your
skill in performance. Easton has produced top-of-the-line
sporting equipment and for years has been one of America’s
first choices, especially when it comes to aluminum baseball
bats. There is no doubt all of Easton baseball bats will get
the job done.
Easton wood baseball bats have just the right
weight proportion enabling a good swing to be an excellent
swing.
Most of their models have a
“heavy-handle” feel almost forcing a batter to throw the hands
first when approaching the ball. Never will you use an Easton
bat that feels “top-heavy”.
They use Northern Ash and Maple wood.
They have cupped tops for shock resistance. Their finishes are
as beautiful as the next and have several combinations.
Easton aluminum bats carry on that same
craftsmanship. Easton has been a pioneer of sorts crossing into
the frontier of two-part connection and multi-wall technology.
They are very popular when it comes to youth baseball bats and
are credited with significantly increasing the popularity of
aluminum bats.
Their Connection(CXN) line is a
segmented bat meeting just below the barrel which they say
maximizes the “sweet spot” and creates a whip through the
hitting zone, supposedly allowing more room for error resulting
in a hard-hit ball that otherwise might not have been. They
have a flex system that I don’t necessarily agree with, but you
do get a choice between intensities.
Years ago Sc600 was the strongest alloy
approved but Easton has shown a thirst for better technology
now using Sc777 and Sc900 alloys. Their “Z-core” is a
combination of graphite and woven titanium with their patented
“tri-shell” technology consisting of a rubber sleeve between
the alloys. The (CXN) technology isolates the handle from the
barrel creating less shock and they too have a cupped-end.
Easton baseball bats are durable and have an incredible
amount of “pop”.
