EASTON Beast Speed -10 (2 5/8") USA Youth Baseball Bat | 2019 | 1 Piece Aluminum | ATAC Alloy | Speed End Cap | Lizard Skin Grip

The bat I bought is a 9-inch bat for my 9-year old son, I bought it in May 2019 During the spring, a youngster will be entering her senior year. While I had heard the 2019 version of the USA Baseball bat from Easton would be better, the 2018 version seemed lacking in pop. In terms of visual appeal, the bat is very nice and all of his teammates wanted to take individual photos using it during the As for the performance of this bat, I'd say there is indeed greater pop of this model over last year's. The ball just seems to come off the bat a bit harder than the 2018 model, whether it's a ground ball or a line drive. Was very happy with it throughout the rest of his spring season (12 games, plus four playoffs). Please note that as per the instructions, this bat can only be used to play games. His 2018 Easton model bats (batting practice and cage work were left to the 2018 model that is the same weight and length as his 2017 model). As we fast-forward to the fall, something has definitely moved inside the barrel about six games into the season (early October 2019). This bat does not only sound like it is broken, but the extra pop has now disappeared and it now hits at a much similar rate to This may seem a bit expensive, but I wasn't too happy with We only managed to finish 22 games out of it, which is not even enough to complete a calendar year of spring or fall baseball. It would make sense to consider Rawlings for spring 2020, as I haven't heard of any issues with those bats breaking like I have experienced first hand with the Easton bats (in addition, others have reported similar issues in reviews on this site).

Over the past two weeks, that bat has been hard at work. It does sound like a wood bat to me in the USA. The page has been viewed over 1000 times now. It's amazing how much has changed since the first day. Despite its apparent reticent nature, the bat actually responded very well. In my 7-year-old's second game, he's hit the ball over the fence to the rear. The goal for the season is to hit the home run. The sound from a good bat is not like the sound from the It is a good price, but I will probably switch to the Ghost X in between seasons.

The star rating is 2. From the start, this bat was a dud. It did not survive a season (3 months) at It was only used by my son and one other kid, so no real wear was seen on it. My car got a dent about 2 months in. I have never found my "sweet spot". They marketed crap that was stamped with their logo. As soon as my son would get hit with the bat, it would just sound dead. In terms of equipment, I used Dicks sporting good balls, skillz hit sticks, and wiffle balls, so no crazy items were hit rather than what was expected.

This bat is USA approved
I have a league that has restrictions on bats and will only use USA approved bats
For the price, this bat is a steal! I'd recommend it to a child my age who hit a home run with it in his first game with it - and it's lightweight as well
He previously owned an Easton Ghost 26 bat that was great in terms of weight and length He really likes it when the song is lingering a bit and heavier.

Having read reviews, I wish I had followed the advice provided about dents. A ding has appeared at the top of the barrel after five weeks, which is quite noticeable. Approximately 12 years old and older The year is An old man. Due to the Passed Return Window for Amazon, I had to request return of the product from Easton under warranty. Shipment of returned items is not paid by them. I paid $50 for this! FedEx returns should be shipped via FedEx. We now have to wait up to 20 days for a new bat to arrive. You can only do it if they approve. There is no point in wasting time and effort. We will not buy another bat from Easton.

My son bought the bat for himself using his birthday money. I only cracked it after a single use. A 10-year-old can use the product for five weeks without any problems. Considering that it was a $189 bat, it was shocking that it broke after so Initially, Easton agreed to replace the bat under warranty, but then sent us a bat "of equal value" that was a completely different model with the shortest barrel I've Essentially, now that we have spent $189 and have been stuck with a bat my son won't use, Easton refuses to give us a refund even when we return the bat brand new and still in its original packaging. I am so frustrated by this. It was not helpful to play Just Bats - We were referred to Easton by them.

After using the bat for only one week, a 12-year-old little league player dented the bat. A warranty claim had to be filed and the replacement process will take 15 to 20 days This bat will take 20 business days to arrive. Don't waste your time and money on it. This is a cheap bat from Easton, which I'm disappointed in. In this case, Easton did authorize a return so hopefully the replacement bat is a better one.

The new USA bats are definitely different from the old ones. This bat feels great and pops well. My 9-year-old enjoys it a lot. This is a bat that you can use if you have a younger player.
