Pros: Looks great and has nice pop once you get it broken in. Between myself and my two boys we hit over 200 balls with it yesterday and it started to loosen up and wow.
Cons: It takes a couple hundred hits before the ball starts to jump.
Review Summary
based on 14 ratings. 14 user reviews.
New for 2013! This bat features the USSSA 1.15 stamp and is legal for use in 2012! Easton truly believes that every player should have the opportunity to hit for power. However, the road to power hitting is different for every player. Some players need extra bat speed to reach their full power potential, while others need more weight and a bigger barrel. That's why Easton is changing the game this season and taking an approach to bats that no other manufacturer has ever tried before. Introducing the POWER Brigade; Two series, one distinct result. Whether you prefer the fast swinging Speed Series or the heavier extended barrel XL Series, POWER will be your outcome. Forget flashy designs and gimmicky names, these bats produce RESULTS. The Speed Series (S1, S2, S3) features the lowest Moment of Inertia (M.O.I.) on the market to create light swing weights and generate more power. On the other side of the spectrum, the XL Series (XL1, XL2, XL3) features extra long barrels designed to give players expanded hitting zones and more mass in the barrel, generating more power in every swing. Easton really does strive to fulfill the preferences of any type of player as both series come in two-piece IMX Composite designs (S1 and XL1), two-piece IMX Composite/THT100 Aluminum hybrid designs (S2 and XL2), and one-piece THT100 Aluminum designs (S3 and XL3). As for the materials, Easton's patented IMX Composite has proven to be one of the highest performing materials in the game year after year, while THT100 Aluminum provides superior dent and crack resistance. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology and you have a new line of bats that is second to none. Easton: We Believe In Power! This bat features the USSSA 1.15 stamp and is approved for play in 2012. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Review This Batby Noah's Dad - Apr 07, 2012
Pros: Looks great and has nice pop once you get it broken in. Between myself and my two boys we hit over 200 balls with it yesterday and it started to loosen up and wow.
Cons: It takes a couple hundred hits before the ball starts to jump.
by Gator Dad - Apr 11, 2012
Pros: Blows my sons prodigy out of the water. He just turned 7 so the drop 12 has really helped his bat speed.
Cons: Have to go hit a bunch in the cage to break in
by Vizslahunter - Apr 18, 2012
Pros: Increased bat speed
Cons: We play 8U coach pitch with real baseballs. 2 kids have used this bat every day over the last week so it's broken in. Sweet spot is very small and hand vibration on anything outside the sweet spot is bad. After the first day in the cage, excess glue inside the bat had broken off as you can hear fragment pieces slide inside the bat when you turn it from end to end. The bat description is like the original white Stealth that started all the bat ban but is no where close to the performance. This bat should be labeled for knee coach pitch or tee ball. Stand up 8 yr olds should avoid this bat.
by Bayou Mike - Apr 19, 2012
Pros: Great design and excellent pop! I bought the 26 in 14oz for my son who plays 7u CP travel ball.
Cons: The bat cracked the first day of practice after about 30 cuts. Hopefully my replacement bat holds up because it really hits good.
by Greg Scales - Apr 22, 2012
Pros: This is a very Hot Bat! The first game my son went two for two hitting to hard shots that ended up in the out field.I recommend this bat not bad for a 5 yr old that weighs 50 lbs.
Cons: Very expensive bat. And the break in time that a composite bat requires. We hit a few hundred balls .
by spaceage81 - Apr 23, 2012
Pros: Good bat. 1st Big Barrell ever ordered. My 6 year old loves it
Cons:
by Hugo - Apr 30, 2012
Pros: Great Bat! Bat has lot of pop once you get it broken in. It takes about 200 hits or so. Light and appears to be very durable.
Cons: At this time, I can't find any.
by Brads Dad - May 06, 2012
Pros: I got The 28" 16oz bat for my 5 year old and he loves it. He hits it in the outfield every time he connects. All the other kids on his team started batting with it. They had the old white easton,a reflex like us and alot of v grips none can hang with this bat.
Cons: None

by Regulator's coach - May 07, 2012
Pros: bought this bat two weeks ago for my travel 8u team. It has a nice pop and is light weight so some of my smaller kids can swing it with some force. I am so pleased with it I am going to buy the next size up for my bigger kids.
Cons: Better start using it as soon as you get it so you can break it in. It is just like any composite bat you have to break it in before you get the full potential.
by Georgia Dad - May 15, 2012
Pros: Looks great. Junior Drop 12 and balanced weighting is easier to swing for my son than the Senior end load weighted S1 counterpart. He swings this 28" faster and more controlled than his 27" Worth Senior Lithium Prodigy.
Cons: It does take a lot of breaking in and does have a small sweet spot. It does have a lot of vibration if not hit in the sweet spot even after regripping it with the Easton VRS tape. The S3 and other metal bats have more generous sweet spots.
by Tx Baseball Mom - Apr 09, 2012
Pros: Love Love Love this bat!! Best bat on the market. We have the Easton XL and this bat hands down is the better of the two. Highly reccomend this bat.
Cons: Have to break it in but that is standard with a composite bat.

Ask QuestionWhat IMX means in a bat? Is this bat composite?
Asked by Cathy on Apr 25, 2012
IMX Composite is a technology that strengthens the composite materials for maximum performance. The composite fibers are angled and layered to maximize the hitting area of the barrel and eliminate vibration.

Looking for a bat for my son in machine pitch. I like the drop on this to go with the big barrel. Will this work ok for machine pitch?
Asked by the jep on Apr 15, 2012
Junior Big Barrel bats really aren't meant to withstand live pitching at speeds greater than 40 mph. If the machines in your machine pitch league are under 40mph, then you should be good with the JBB11S1. If greater, you'll have to look at a Youth Big Barrel bat.

Is the Easton S1 JBB11S1 balanced or end loaded?
Asked by dAVID on Apr 05, 2012
The JBB11S1 is a 100% composite bat with a balanced feel. This bat features a 2 3/4" barrel giving it a huge sweet spot and great pop.
· Apr 05, 2012
If the bat has the USSSA 1.15 stamp, it can be used in kid-pitch USSSA travel tournaments, right? Why does JustBats suggest this bat is for coach pitch only play?
Asked by BatCrazy on Apr 03, 2012
This is a coach pitch bat. This bat is not built or designed to withstand high velocity pitches and hits. The walls are thinner and not as durable as they need to be to withstand kid and/or machine pitch. You could use it for kid pitch, but you will more than likely run into durability issues with the bat since is not designed for that kind of play.
· Apr 03, 2012
Our coach pitch league uses real baseballs will this be ok with this bat. If it is ok will this have more pop than the aluminum big barrel Easton bat?
Asked by tee on Apr 03, 2012
Junior Big Barrel bats are designed for Coach Pitch baseball, and can be used with real baseballs. As long as the coaches aren't hurling the ball in there at speeds greater than 40 mph or so, this will be a great bat. Junior Big Barrel bats should not be used in kid pitch leagues though.
· Apr 03, 2012
Are all the Junior Big Barrels considered "coach pitch" bats? I'm looking for a -12 28" big barrel for my son.
Asked by Kai's dad on Mar 30, 2012
Yes, all Junior Big Barrels are considered "coach pitch" bats. There are two -12 big barrel bats that are suited for machine and kid pitch; 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Triton II: SL12T Senior League and the 2012 Louisville Slugger TPX Z-1000: SL12Z Senior League.
· Mar 30, 2012
Can this bat be used for kid pitch with regular baseballs?
Asked by Chris on Mar 25, 2012
This is designed for Coach Pitch. If you need a bat for a kid pitch league that uses real baseballs, look at the "Youth Big Barrel" section

If composite bats were ruled illegal according to Alabama Dizzy Dean, will this bat be legal for 2012? Is the stamp all thatis required?
Asked by Michael on Mar 25, 2012
As of March 25, 2012 composite bats have not been banned according to the Dizzy Dean website http://dizzydeanbbinc.org/state_contacts.htm. The S1 has the required BPF stamp. As of today, the Easton S1: JBB11S1 is legal.

Is this a one piece composite bat ?
Asked by waw1246 on Mar 24, 2012
Yes. This is a one piece composite bat.
· Mar 24, 2012
Is this bat good for coach pitch?
Asked by bigwil on Mar 22, 2012
This bat would be perfect for coach pitch! Bats labeled as "coach pitch" and "junior big barrel" are essentially the same thing.
· Mar 22, 2012
My son (7 years old)will move up and down between 8u and 9u both kid pitch. He is on the small size and uses his speed to get on base. Would you recomend this bat (28/16) or the S1 in the 2 5/8 (27/17)?
Asked by Thatdude30 on Mar 16, 2012
The JBB11S1 should only be used in coach pitch because of the thinner walls. The Easton S1: SL11S110 Senior League would be a better choice for kid pitch.
