My son is 12, in Little League he has to use a 2 1/4 bat which is pretty light, but needs a BBCOR for travel (13U). Does it make sense to get this bat a bit shorter to try and cut down on the weight difference?
Asked by Pbergman on Feb 27, 2012
Yes this does make sense. BBCOR bats will have a -3 drop making them feel heavier. Many kids are getting BBCOR bats shorter in an effort to get the lightest weight.

Is the Rival better than the Reflex or are they about the same?
Asked by kashlockyer4 on Feb 23, 2012
Both bats will perform just about the same. The main difference is the type of alloy each bat is made out of. This bat is made with 7050 Aircraft alloy, while the Reflex is made out of THT100 Aluminum.
· Feb 23, 2012
which bat would be better for a power hitter the reflex bx81 or the rival bg2?
Asked by nick on Feb 19, 2012
The Easton Reflex BBCOR: BX81 Adult and the Easton Rival BG2 will both be very good options for a power hitter since they are both one-piece all alloy designs. Here is a link to further compare both bats. http://www.justbats.com/compare/

Asked by P.J. on Feb 04, 2012
I would recommend a 33 inch bat for someone that is your size.
· Feb 05, 2012
I am so confused by the new bat requirements. Will this bat be allowed for high school play for the next few years? I want to buy a bat that my 13 year old can use NOW as well as for the next few years. I just spent $300 14 months ago on a bat that is now worthless.
Asked by outtamoney on Jan 30, 2012
I understand your frustrations, as of right now this bat will be approved for 2012. Do not know what the rules are going to be like in 2013

How would this comepare to a 2012 Louisville Slugger Exo Grid 2? Is it just worth it to pay the extra money for the exo grid or will this perform just as good?
Asked by Noah on Jan 17, 2012
The Exo Grid 2 is going to much superior to this bat. The Exo Grid 2 is Louisville Sluggers top of the line bat for this year

I have a 14 year old starting his first year of high school base ball. He is 5 ft and weighs 90 lbs. Which bat would you suggest?
Asked by nik on Dec 09, 2011
The Reflex would be a good choice. It it lightweight and provides smaller sizes for players just starting to use BBCOR bats.
· Dec 09, 2011
Would this be a good bat for a 13 year old? Hes 5'7 and Weighs 120. What size and weight should his bat be?
Asked by Brandon on Dec 03, 2011
Its really a personal preference when looking at size, some good bats are the Cat 5, Marucci Black, the Easton Power Brigade bats and the DeMarini CF5

i have a 13 year old boy, who is short (small) for his age. he needs a -3 bat, but he cannot swing the big 31/32 inch or 33inch bat... too heavy for skinny kid..would this bat make a good option?
Asked by eric on Nov 26, 2011
Yes, the Reflex goes down to as small as a 29inch bat. And is pretty well balanced.
· Nov 27, 2011
which is better then the 3 , rawlings plasma 2012 or easton 2012 refelx or easton reflex bx74?
Asked by hc on Nov 24, 2011
I prefer the 2012 Reflex. Nice pop, nice balance, nice bat!
· Nov 25, 2011
What is the difference between The 2012 Reflex and the 2012 Louisville slugger warrior performance wise?
Asked by win3 on Nov 22, 2011
Both are going to perform similar to each other. Based on the feedback we have received, I would give the edge to the Reflex.
· Nov 22, 2011
Does the blasting cap on the 2011 Reflex really help? Which bat has more pop? Which bat would you recommend for a 13 year old, the 2011 or 2012 Reflex?
Asked by Mike on Oct 29, 2011
It won't have a huge effect on the performance of the bat. There is not going to be much of a difference between the two, the 2012 should have slightly more pop than the 2011
· Oct 29, 2011
Does this bat have more pop the lets say the easton rival?
Asked by orioles#1fan! on Oct 24, 2011
Compared to the Rival, the Reflex will have a little less pop. Compared to other bats in the $100 price range though, the Reflex can't be beat.
· Oct 24, 2011
I would say the Easton Rival has more pop than the Reflex.
· Oct 24, 2011
Is this bat comparable to the vexxum also im about 5 foot 90 pounds and 14 yrs old would you recomend this bat for highschool?
Asked by b345t on Oct 23, 2011
The Reflex is a one piece alloy bat and the Vexxum is a two piece bat witha an alloy barrel and composite handle. The Reflex is going to be a little lighter, but stiffer.
· Oct 24, 2011
So is this new Reflex considerably better than the 2011 model
Asked by batboy32 on Oct 22, 2011
I wouldn't say it's considerably better, but it does have a better feel and balance compared to last year's Reflex. I would give the 2012 model a slight edge in performance, but it's not that big of a difference.
· Oct 24, 2011
My son will be 13. He's 4'9" and weighs 97 pounds. Can he use a 31/28 BBCOR?
Asked by ME on Sep 30, 2011
If his league requires him to use BBCOR, there are some that are a little shorter and lighter. For instance, the Easton Relfex, Typhoon and a few others.
· Sep 30, 2011
My son just turned 9,he is 4foot 8 and 115 pounds would a 29-26oz bat be to much for him.
Asked by Mike on Sep 21, 2011
BBCOR bats are for high school and college players only. That weight would be to much for a 9yr old. Check out our youth bats in a 29". Those will be a better fit.
· Sep 22, 2011
would this bat be good for a 5'8" 195lb 13 year old?
Asked by happy on Sep 16, 2011
Yes. The BX81 uses Easton's high quality 7050 alloy. The bat will have good pop and good durability.
· Sep 16, 2011
Yes. A 32" or 33" bat would be good for someone of that size.
· Sep 16, 2011
would this be a good bat for at 13 year old playing prep babe ruth? he is 5 10 and weighs 138. and what size shouldhe start with?
Asked by bart on Sep 15, 2011
The recommmended size would be a 31"-32" bat.

Is this bat approved for USSSA play in 2012
Asked by Jeff on Sep 15, 2011
Yes. If someone uses a -3 bat in USSSA, it must be BBCOR approved.
· Sep 15, 2011
What is the difference between the 2012 Reflex BBCOr and the 2011 model? Any changes made to the design?
Asked by Dan on Sep 06, 2011
The difference is going to be the aluminum that is used in the bat. The 2012 bat will have a little more pop and more durability. This is based on the technology that is used in the 2012 bat that is going to be newer then the 2011 model.
