What is the difference between bat alloys?
Sc888 Alloy - Easton's patent-pending Sc888 "Triple Eight" Advanced Metal Matrix alloy from Kaiser Aluminum is an industry breakthrough! Its unique combination of aluminum/scandium/zinc/copper/magnesium provides an average of 4ksi additional strength (dent resistance) compared to Easton's best-selling Sc777 alloy, previously the strongest in the industry, plus a 10% increase in toughness (crack resistance)!
Sc777 Alloy - Easton's Sc777 "Triple Seven" alloy was developed specifically for baseball and softball and is offered through Easton exclusively from Kaiser Aluminum. Next to Sc888, it is the highest strength alloy in the industry.
C405 Alloy - C405 is a very strong, high performance alloy from Alcoa. It is 13% stronger than 7050 alloy which allows for enhanced bat designs offering greater performance.
7050 Alloy - Easton was the first company to use 7050 alloy to manufacture bats. It offers an excellent combination of strength, durability, and performance at a great value.
7046 Alloy - 7046 is a very durable alloy offering good performance at value price points.
What is Synergy and how does it work?
The Easton Synergy all-composite bat features patent-pending IMX Integrated MatriX technology which optimizes the relationship between materials, design, and manufacturing process to create the highest performing bat in the market combined with durability and a consistency that no other composite bat can match.
What is Tri-Shell and how does it work?
Easton's patent pending Tri-Shell design features a high rebound, thin rubber sleeve sandwiched between a durable inner tube and the thinnest outer shell in softball. The result is unbelievable performance, feel, and durability.
What Is ConneXion Focus Flex Technology?
Easton's patented two-piece ConneXion design uses an elastomer connector to mechanically interlock the handle to the barrel, allowing the two pieces to act independently for the widest sweet spot, no vibration, and a larger sweet spot than any other bat design.
What is Z-Core Super Fiber and how does it work?
Easton's patented high strength graphite inner core provides better feel, greater durability, and outstanding performance.
How do I choose the right bat?
In most cases, bats are measured in inches and weighed in ounces. Typically, a bigger, stronger player will prefer a longer heavier bat, while a smaller player will prefer a shorter lighter bat. Since a player's power is generated through bat speed, it is important that you can swing your bat through the strike zone at maximum speed. Keep in mind that the right bat for you is based on personal preference. Make sure the bat you pick feels good when you swing it.
Can I use my Easton bat in a batting cage?
Easton does not recommend that you use your bat in a batting cage as the rubber balls used in most commercial batting cages are harder and denser than a regular ball and add an increased amount of stress to your bat upon impact. If you do practice in a batting cage, use the bats provided by the cage. Save your bat for use in games and practices where leather covered balls are used. Note: using your Easton bat in a batting cage will void your warranty.
When is it too cold to use my bat?
Easton suggests using your bat in temperatures above 60 degrees. Colder weather makes balls harder which may cause damage to your bat.
