Pros: well balanced bat. I was surprised with amount of pop out of wrapper. Great sound for a composite bat(Ping). Composite material seems to be stronger than that of other manufacturers. Cant wait to see how it does when it is broken in.
Cons: yes it is pricey, but worth it if it holds up to 10 games a week in select ball.
Review Summary
based on 43 ratings. 43 user reviews.
New for 2012! 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!

Pros: well balanced bat. I was surprised with amount of pop out of wrapper. Great sound for a composite bat(Ping). Composite material seems to be stronger than that of other manufacturers. Cant wait to see how it does when it is broken in.
Cons: yes it is pricey, but worth it if it holds up to 10 games a week in select ball.
by mike - Feb 02, 2012
Pros: This bat is the best new bat on the market. The sound of the ball hitting this bat is sweet. The other bats sound weak. The pop is awesome. Do yourself a favor and stop looking. This is the top bat around. Easton customer service is also top notch. I had a bat break last year and they were awesome. They will give you the service you deserve for buying a $300 bat.
Cons: Every parent is wanting their sons to try my bat.
by Groove 32 - Nov 21, 2011
Pros: More pop out of the wrapper than the Omen, nice finish, holding up well after two tourneys (10 games).
Cons: Rubber sticker on the barrell cap fell off during first session. Yellow grip gets dirty quick, should have been all black.
by Phil R - Feb 08, 2012
Pros: Like many parents, we have been looking for a new bat, since USSSA essentially forced everybody's hand in 2012. Our sense of urgency was compounded when my 11yo player broke his 2011 Catalyst in half during batting practice. He has been thrilled with the S1. Amazing pop, great balance, and a massive sweet spot. Everybody on the team who can hit a 31/21, wants to hit this bat.
Cons: As expected with a composite bat, performance drops with the temperature. We will use a teammate's S3 when temps drop below 60.
by - Feb 13, 2012
Pros: This bat has the most pop I have felt in mt life. IT is very good if you want to get an edge over the pitcher. The bat feels very smooth. The bat is alot of money, but worth it. I use this bat alot and get alot of hits.
Cons:

Pros: If Chuck Norris was a bat, he would be the S1.
Cons: Chuck Norris doesn't have cons.....
by doug - Dec 31, 2011
Pros: Great bat, tremendous pop. Ball flies off the bat.
Cons: None
by Chris - Mar 07, 2012
Pros: This is like a bam, bam bat - the drop 10 is allowed in his 8u travel team but the barrel is to wide for his in-house league - (but cares about in-house). 28/18 2 5/8 for my 8u player is so good it's silly. Hot right out of the store, no break in time required, has a nice loud ping and the ball has nice jump. My son does not want to touch his 28/18 2 1/4 anymore, as he can get this one around just the same.
Cons: Other parents think it's unfair and the monster hit's are due only to the bat.
by Chuz - Mar 19, 2012
Pros: Extremely great pop. Hottest bat on market. looks great too.
Cons: takes a while to break in.
by SouthOC - Mar 26, 2012
Pros: The bat has a nice balanced feel and the best pop off the bat that we have experienced. My son is on the smaller side so I usually look for extra light bats so he can get it through the zone. The lower M.O.I. is allowing my son to swing a bigger bat with better results.
Cons: Price...
by Singles - Apr 07, 2012
Pros: The bat was solid the second I took it out of the wrapper. The longer barrel has a huge sweet spot and lots of pop. I did not hit 5 homer in the first game but I was 5 for 7 with 3 rbi's the first tournament I used it.
Cons: None that I have experienced yet
by Nick Nasty - Apr 13, 2012
Pros: This is one of the best bats I have ever used. I have always used Demarini and Combat bats in the past, but this bat has great pop right out of the wrapper. No break in time. Very pleased with the bat so far. I would definetly reccomend this bat to any serious travel baseball player.

Cons: nothing
by The Big Dog - May 11, 2012
Pros: SUPERB Bat! Amazing pop swing after swing--even out of wrapper. Great balance to weight ratio allows for faster bat speed. Sounds like aluminum vs composite. This bat is for better hitters and likely not well suited for the average to below average hitter. Side note: If you want a "pretty" bat with a nice paint job and graphics rather than a piece of high-end equipment that performs game after game, look elswhere. Reviews of chiped paint and end caps are a joke. A bat that is menat for a serious ball player is designed to hit the baseball as well as possible. Paint chips and color have NOTHING to do with performance. If your youth ball player--or you--are worried more about his image than his performance, find another bat, and possibly sport. Play ball!

Cons:
by BBCOUGS23 - Apr 18, 2012
Pros: ...
Cons: There is a bunch of pop but after 1 tournament i could barely get it out of the infield. I went to bp and used it a little. I then used my friends 5150 and hit WAY better. do not reccemend
by ScottR - Apr 26, 2012
Pros: Looks and feels cool.
Cons: Waste of money Rival XL had more pop. My son had to have this bat when it first came out. He used Rival xl last season and hit tremendously. He needed the usssa stamp and wanted to go to a composite bat so we bought it when it first came out for $300. In practice pre-season he hit great with it. The bat has lost its pop he has trouble getting it out of the infield now 2 months later. Switched back to his rival and the ball comes off the bat so much faster and is hitting deep balls again. Very disappointing nothing but a $300 trophy now.

by PL - Mar 20, 2012
Pros: Descent pop, look good.
Cons: I ordered two bats for my 9U team in different sizes and the paint on both bats started to chip away within the first two practices. I dont expect this on a $300 bat.
by ScottIndiana - Apr 20, 2012
Pros: None!
Cons: This is the worst bat Ive ever had from Easton. My son is a power hitter on a very good traveling team. This bat is over rated. Son can not hit with any distance with this bat. Waste of $300! Bat is not as balanced as the Rival my son used last year. Searched and found a USSA stamped Easton Rival XXL: BG10XL Senior League so he will be using that the rest of the year .. The Rival is a awesome bat.
by CubsWinBeer - Apr 01, 2012
Pros: Cool look and my kid wants to swing it cuz its $300 and should be the bomb.
Cons: Not much pop out of the wrapper. The Worth Prodigy is a better 8U bat if you can find the slp102 with the flat knob. We'll see if it can be broken in...
by Prodigy - Apr 11, 2012

Ask QuestionWhat is the difference between the Omen -10 and the S1 -10?
Asked by Cvan on May 06, 2012
The Easton S1 SL11S110 is the replacement for the Easton Omen. These bats are manufactured with the same materials and have the same great pop. The main differences between these two will be in the graphics.

Is the Easton S1 AABC approved?
Asked by moose on Apr 20, 2012
The Easton SL11S110 is not approved for AABC play.
· Apr 20, 2012
I'm a contact hitter and which bat would be better for this type of batter, S1 or CF5?
Asked by meatitarian on Apr 19, 2012
Either the Easton S1 or the DeMarini CF5 would be a great choice for a contact hitter. Both of these bats have a two-piece design, which will work great for the type of hitter you are. Both bats are very similar and will perform just about the same. You can't go wrong with either!
· Apr 19, 2012
Which is better - 2012 DeMarini Voodoo (skull paint) or the S1. Understand the Voodoo has alloy barrel while S1 is all composite. Which is more balanced, which would you recommend for a contact hitter that also has power (hard line drives to gaps and power up the middle)? Which is better bat for pre-middle school years?
Asked by cyber on Apr 13, 2012
It is difficult to compare the Easton S1 with the Demarini Voodoo. The Voodoo is going to to be a two piece hybrid design that has a -9 drop. The Easton S1 is going to be a two piece full composite bat with a -10 drop. The DeMarini Voodoo will have a little more flex because of the two piece design. The Easton S1 will have a little flex as well but it uses a stiffer composite material that may not as flex as much as the Voodoo. Also, the Easton S1 will require a break in period because it is a composite barrel. We recommend 150-200 swings off the tee or soft toss while making sure you rotate the barrel the bat a quarter of an inch every 15-20 swings to help fully break in the composite fibers.
· Apr 13, 2012
I lost my CF5 and now I'm looking for a bat. I am 13 and in 7th grade. My CF5 was a -10. Should I go with the S1 or the XL1. I don't really care if one is end loaded cause i can use both. Which one will I get more power out of?
Asked by dylan on Apr 11, 2012
The Easton S1 and Easton XL1 are made from the same composite material. The only difference is that the S1 is balanced and the XL1 is end loaded. If your swing speed is above average, you may see more success with the XL1. If your swing speed is average or below average, I recommend the S1.
· Apr 11, 2012
I am considering getting the S1 or S3. I know the S1 is composite and two pieces and the S3 is alloy and 1 piece. When would the S1 be a better fit for a batter, and when would the S3 be the better bat? Is the S1 really worth $100 more?
Asked by ekshaffer on Apr 11, 2012
Since the Easton S1 is a two-piece bat, it is usually better suited for contact hitters, while the Easton S3, being a one-piece bat, is usually better suited for power hitters. Composite bats go through a more labor intensive process than alloy bats do, thus causing the increase in price. Also, composite bats tend to get better the more you use them, while alloy bats are the best they will ever be right out of the wrapper. The composite material may also give you more pop due to the trampoline effect the material gives the bat.
· Apr 10, 2012
Is there a -8 version of this or XL1? I know this is the new Omen and last year there was a -8 and -10 big barrel. If so can you send me the link?
Asked by Sr3 on Apr 09, 2012
The Easton XL1: SL11X18 is available in a -8; http://www.justbats.com/product/easton-xl1--sl11x18-senior-league/14528/.
· Apr 09, 2012
My son who is 4'8" & 88 lbs is currently swinging a 29/19 Omen LNC2XL, but I am considering moving to a big barrel. Is the Easton S1:SL11S110 a good choice? Any other recommendations?
Asked by Patrick on Apr 03, 2012
The Easton S1 would be a great bat to switch to! This is actually the model that has replaced the Omen, so it will have a similar feel and will perform the same as the Omen.
· Apr 03, 2012
Is this bat available in 2 3/4" barrel?
Asked by ron on Apr 02, 2012
The Easton S1 Senior League SL11S110 is not available in a 2 3/4" barrel. However, the Easton S3: SL11S310B Senior League is available in a 2 3/4 inch barrel.

Is this bat a big barrel?
Asked by dave on Mar 28, 2012
The Easton S1 has a barrel diameter of 2 5/8". With that being said, this bat is considered a big barrel bat.
· Mar 28, 2012
I am 5ft 8in and I would like to know if a 32in 22oz or 32in 29oz is a good fit for me. Also, is this bat fully composite? Thanks!
Asked by Cebs on Mar 27, 2012
We would need to know your weight and what size bat you're currently using in order to give a better recommendation. If you're stronger than average, a 32/29 may be a good choice. If you're not as strong, go with a 32/22. The Easton S1 is a two-piece, full composite.
· Mar 27, 2012
Is this a good bat for Babe Ruth 13-15?
Asked by Jordan on Mar 21, 2012
No. The Easton S1 has a composite barrel. If you want to use a bat with a composite hitting surface in the 13-15 year old division in Babe Ruth, it must be an Adult -3 BBCOR bat.
· Mar 21, 2012
Does using a bat warmer make it ok to use a composite bat in colder weather if it's only taken out of the warmer to hit? Or, is it the cold balls that cause the problem?
Asked by Uncle Fester on Mar 16, 2012
It's really the cold weather's effect on the baseballs, not the bat, that can lead to an increased likely hood of dents or cracks to the bat. Bat warmers may help a little, but it won't be a complete life-saver. If you have one though, it doesn't hurt to use it.
· Mar 16, 2012
Do they sell a -5 in the s series bats?

· Mar 15, 2012
Does this bat have a BBCOR sticker on it? Is it acceptable for play in Babe Ruth?
Asked by Mr. Baseball on Mar 11, 2012
The Easton S1 (SL11S110) is not BBCOR certified. BBCOR models will only be available in a -3 drop. Babe Ruth requuires all composite barrel bats that are being used to be BBCOR certified, which this model is not.
· Mar 11, 2012
Is this bat legal for middle school baseball use in Tennessee?
Asked by Shadow on Mar 08, 2012
This depends on what rules your school follows. Some middle schools follow High School rules, and if that is the case with your school you will need to have an adult -3 bat, and this one will not be legal. Since rules change for each school and league, I would suggest checking with your school athletic director or coach to see what rules you should be following.
· Mar 08, 2012
Will this bat be approved for USSSA use in 2013, I know it's good for 2012?
Asked by 643DP on Mar 07, 2012
This bat does feature the new USSSA stamp. Since it has this stamp it will be legal for use in 2012 and beyond.
· Mar 07, 2012
My son is 8 years old, 54-55 inches tall and weighs 75 pounds. Plays USSSA coach pitch and hits the ball well. He is a relatively strong kid. What length and weight do you recommend for a kid this size?
Asked by Bradberry on Mar 06, 2012
Based on your son's height and weight, I would suggest going with a 29 inch bat. If you say he is pretty strong, I would go with either a 17.5 or 19oz bat. Our bats do come with a free return label, so if you do happen to buy it and find that it is too light or too heavy for him, you are more than welcome to send it back and we can exchange it for a different size for you.
· Mar 06, 2012
What is the difference between the Easton S1 and Easton S2?
Asked by werty1 on Feb 29, 2012
The S1 is a two piece full composite bat and the S2 is a two piece alloy barrel, composite handle bat. The difference will be in the barrel materials. A composite barrel bat will have a lighter feel than an alloy barrel bat.
· Feb 29, 2012
Will the Easton S1 -10 based on today's rules - be usssa compliant in 2013? Reading the USSSA rules it appears it has the correct stamp on the handle - is that true?
Asked by MARKPICC on Feb 28, 2012
Yes. The S1 has the new USSSA stamp and will be legal this year, next, and beyond
· Feb 28, 2012
I know the S1 is supposed to have a lower MOI than the Omen, but do they actually weigh less as well? We have a Omen Senior 29/19 that actually weighs 20.8 oz. Can you weigh an S1 Senior 29/19 and tell me what it weighs?
Asked by Zeus4 on Feb 23, 2012
Bats are weighed before the final touches are made (paint, clear coat, etc.). With that being said, each bat will have slight variations in their weight. These small variations make it difficult to get an exact weight on the bat, since each bat can be slightly different. However, the weight will be very close to the 19 oz measurement.
· Feb 23, 2012
Which bat is better the S1 Easton or the Combat 52 Caliber 29/19?
Asked by Banker1991 on Feb 22, 2012
Well, they are two pretty different bats. The S1 is a two piece bat with more flex. The 52 Caliber is a one piece bat that will be stiffer with a bit more of an end loaded feel. A contact hitter may prefer the S1 where a power hitter may prefer the 52 Caliber.
· Feb 22, 2012
My son is 9 yrs old at 5' tall & 115 lbs. We want S2 or S1 but keep hearing about S1 not being good in the cold. We are from Western Mass...what is considered cold weather in these reviews. Older brother had Easton Stealth 2007 which had serious pop. Please advise.
Asked by Clarky on Feb 20, 2012
Cold usually means refers to anything below 55 degrees or so. I haven't heard any major issues with the S1 not holding up in the cold, however, when it is below 55 degrees or so, you want to try to limit the use of any bat.
· Feb 21, 2012
What are the biggest differences between the S1 and the S3?
Asked by bdeli on Feb 20, 2012
The Easton S1 is a two piece composite design, and the S3 is a one piece alloy design. Both bats are going to be very balanced, but the S3 is going to be more stiff. Power hitters tend to prefer a one piece bat because of the stiffness, while contact hitters prefer the flex offered with a two piece.
· Feb 20, 2012
Is this bat legal for Alabama Dizzy Dean?
Asked by chris on Feb 17, 2012
It depends on the age of the player. If the player is under the age of 12, then the bat is legal. Ages 13 and over must have BBCOR bats according to the dizzydean website. http://dizzydeanbbinc.org/rules.htm
· Feb 17, 2012
I'm 14 and I need a new bat this year. I get triple and doubles all the time. Is the S1 the bat I should get?
Asked by Coopdog on Feb 17, 2012
The Easton S1 is a great two piece full composite design. Generally contacts prefer two piece designs because they will have a little more flex. Keep in mind that composite barrel bats require a break in period. We recommend taking 150-200 swings off the tee or soft toss and make sure you rotate the barrel a quarter of an inch every 15-20 swings to fully break in the composite fibers.
· Feb 18, 2012
Please compare the Easton S1 all composite with the DeMarini CF5 - pros and cons. Thanks.
Asked by kyle on Feb 15, 2012
Both bats are two piece composite designs, so they are going to perform pretty similarly. The main difference is going to be the DeMarini CF5 is a little more end loaded, while the S1 is a very balanced bat.
· Feb 15, 2012
Someone told me to put clear nail polish over the USSSA stamp to preserve the stamp from rubbing off. Is this a good idea?
Asked by Issy on Feb 13, 2012
This is a solution more customers are using. We think this would be a great idea and will help prevent the stamp from coming off.
· Feb 13, 2012
Would a 10 year old have a faster bat speed using 2 3/4 versus 2 5/8 inch?
Asked by easton hardin on Feb 02, 2012
This is something that will need to be tested. If the 2 3/4" barrel feels good to him and he is getting around fast there should not be an issue.
· Feb 02, 2012
My son hits with a Demarini Voodoo -9 & hit rather well with it. Not knowing for sure but I think this is an end loaded bat & I'm concerned about switching to the more balanced bat. Any honest input as far as how these 2 bats differ & how he will respond to the difference??
Asked by Chris on Feb 02, 2012
The Easton S1 is a going to be a very well balanced two piece composite barrel bat. The Demarini Voodoo we have heard has more of a slight end loaded feel.
· Feb 02, 2012
When you say the S1 isn't as good in cold weather how cold or warm does it need to be to perform well?
Asked by fresh on Feb 01, 2012
It's really the cold weather's effect on the baseballs, not the bat, that can lead to an increased likely hood of dents or cracks to the bat.
· Feb 02, 2012
My son has a 29/19 Easton Omen and I want to get the s1 for him.(10 yrs. old). The Omen still has pop, what is the difference between the Omen and S1? Should I invest in the S1 now? Is the sweet spot the same? Is the Omen more top heavy? Does it make a difference?
Asked by NY Pride on Feb 01, 2012
The S1 is the replacment bat for the Omen. They are identical is design, except for graphics. The S1 is a balanced bat designed to maximize bat speed.
· Feb 01, 2012
11 year old not real strong which would be better fit Easton S1, XL1, or S2?
Asked by none on Jan 30, 2012
The S1 is going to help you out increase your swing speed and be a very balanced bat as well. The composite barrel will give you the pop you are looking for as well.
· Jan 30, 2012
I read a review at a different site that this bat broke near the handle when the player got jammed. Would the bat be covered by warranty under this situation?
Asked by Steve on Jan 28, 2012
Yes, the Easton S1 has a full (12) Twelve month manufacturer's warranty. The warranty covers cracks, dents, end cap issues, and so forth.
· Jan 28, 2012
Can the Easton S1 be used in Dixie 11-12 ? We can use big barrels just knew there is some bat restrictions.
Asked by Cobb on Jan 26, 2012
I would double check with your league officials first. But, from our knowledge it will require the BPF 1.15 stamp on the bat.

The Easton S1 is only available in a -10 drop. If you were needing a 27" then the weight would be a 17 oz.
· Jan 26, 2012
Which should I buy? Right now I have a Easton Stealth that is six years old and it has a CNT handle and an alloy barrel. I love it, but I'm lookng new technology. I'm a leadoff, contact hitter with a bit of pop, but I want more pop. Here is my question: should I buy the Easton S2, S1 or the TPX Z-1000?
Asked by Eduardo on Jan 25, 2012
The S2 will probably be the closest to your previous bat. The S2 is going to have a two piece design with an alloy barrel and composite handle. The S1 is going to be Easton's top of the line bat because it is a two piece composite design. The Z-1000 is also a great option if you are wanting a lighter bat to increase swing speed. So it will come down to what you are looking for.
· Jan 25, 2012
Since the S1, S2 and S3 are all drop 10, does that mean that the 2 5/8" portion of the barrell is longer on the composite (S1) than on the S2 and S3. In other words, is there more "big barrell" on this bat than on the other 2?
Asked by Wolfpack on Jan 24, 2012
The S1 does have a longer barrel of about an inch. They both have big barrels and will have great pop.
· Jan 25, 2012
Is this bat a balanced bat or end loaded bat?
Asked by SR on Jan 23, 2012
The Easton S1 is a very well balanced two piece composite bat. All of the "Speed" series released by Easton will be well balanced bats.

How has this bat changed from last years Easton Omen?
Asked by Sharshar on Jan 21, 2012
The Easton Omen is going to have a slightly larger barrel but will also have a slight end loaded feel. The Easton S1 is going to be a very well balanced model.

My son hits in the 3 spot of a travel baseball team, he is 48" tall and weighs around 85 lbs. He has been hitting with the 29/19 Easton Omen 2 1/4" barrel, but rule changes are allowing 2 5/8 in the league this year. What are the differences in the S1 and the X1 besides the weight drop? Is the barrel longer on the X1 and if so how much? Do they have the same size sweet spot?
Asked by Baseball dad on Jan 19, 2012
The Easton S1 is going to be a light weight model that is very well balanced. The Easton XL1 is going to be available in heavier drops but will have a slightly larger barrel.

Does this SL11S110 30'/20'drop 10 have two other options? 1. 2-3/4 barrel 2. a one piece composite barrel
Asked by oldbirdfan on Jan 13, 2012
The Easton SL11S110 is only available in a two piece full composite design with 2 5/8" barrel. If you are looking for a 2 3/4" barrel in this speed line take a look at the Easton S3 (SL11S310B).
· Jan 14, 2012
How long or how many hits do you think it takes to break this bat in? And do you recommend using machine balls on it?
Asked by Ryan on Jan 12, 2012
To break in a bat you should take approximately 100-200 swings off a tee or soft toss, rotating the barrel about a 1/4 of an inch. Composite bats should not be used in a batting cage that use yellow dimpled balls because they are going to be more dense than a regular baseball.
· Jan 13, 2012
Is this bat approved for Pony League Baseball? Does this bat provide an advantage versus the Easton S2?
Asked by batters-up on Jan 11, 2012
Yes. It is approved for Pony League baseball. The S1 is all composite so it will have a slight edge over the S2.
· Jan 11, 2012
How does this bat compare to the Combat B3 or the Louisville Slugger Exogrid2 in same size. Which has the best pop?
Asked by hammer on Jan 10, 2012
The S1 and B3 are going to have the best pop because they are full composite barrel bats. The B3 and Exogrid are going to be stiffer than the S1 because they are a one piece design.
· Jan 10, 2012
Sorry, i meant a two piece composite bat for contact hitters. The S1 semms like an excellent choice , just need to know which is recommended 29/19 or 30/20 for an 11yr old 5ft 75lb contact hitter?
Asked by Cee Smooth on Jan 08, 2012
The Easton S1 is a great choice for contact hitters. Our charts are showing that the 30" model would be the size that fits him best.
· Jan 08, 2012
How does the Easton S1 compare to the Easton Omen? And my son is more of a contact hitter than a power hitter, which would be a better choice?
Asked by fazster11 on Jan 07, 2012
The Easton S1 is going to be more of a balanced bat compared to the Easton Omen. The balanced feel of the Easton S1 would be a better choice for a contact hitter.
· Jan 07, 2012
My 11 year old son (4'6". 68 lbs.) played travel ball last year and hit very well with a 30/17 small barrel bat. He is a physically small contact hitter with a rotational, tight, compact swing. He can use a Big Barrel -10 bat this year. Do you recommend the Easton S1, Easton Omen, or DeMarini CF5 or something else? Also, would you recommend a 29/19 or 28/18?
Asked by Scott on Jan 05, 2012
With the fact that he is moving up in size by going to the big barrel, I would lean toward this one, the S1, the low MOI will make it swing lighter. Since he was swinging a 30inch before, I definitely would not go down 2 inches to a 28. I recommend either doing to the 29 inch which will be giving him 2 ounces more to swing. But if you feel he is strong enough, then if he can swing the 30", it will be 3 ounces more, but less likely he will outgrow it soon.
· Jan 05, 2012
Why drop -10 only for S1, S2 & S3? My son is 12.5 yrs old, 60" tall and 80 lbs. I am seeing most other kids going heavier drop -8 (30", 22oz). However, I notice that the S1 SL only comes in drop -10. My logic tells me that if drop -8 or -9 were relevant Easton would have made something other than a drop -10. Is drop -10 still the way to go? If drop -10 is the way to go, should I go with 31/21 or 30/20 given is age, height and weight?
Asked by Crashdad on Jan 04, 2012
The Easton S1 is only available in a -10 drop. Take a look at the Easton XL1 (SL11X18), that is the -8 version of this bat.
· Jan 05, 2012
Which one would you perfer the Easton S1 or the Easton Omen?
Asked by snake on Jan 01, 2012
The Easton S1 is the replacement for the Easton Omen. The Omen has a slight end loaded feel while the S1 is going to be a very well balanced model.
· Jan 03, 2012
What is the difference between this bat(s-1) and your Oman bat?
Asked by John on Dec 30, 2011
This bat is replacing the Omen. This bat is made of the same material as the Omen and will have very good pop just like the Omen did. The feel of this bat is balanced and will not feel endloaded like the XL1 will.
· Dec 30, 2011
Is the Easton S1 or the Combat B3 better?
Asked by snake on Dec 28, 2011
That all depends on the type of hitter. Power hitters will probably benefit from the B3 since it is a one piece bat. Contact hitters should probably lean towards the S1 since it is two piece with more flex.

Need to get my 9 year old son a new bat. Last year he had the 27/17 2 5/8 barrel Rival. He has a great swing and drives the ball in the gaps and is projected to be the lead off hitter for his 9U traveling team. Need to know what bat is best for him the TPX Z-1000, TPX Triton, Easton S1, or the Combat B3. They say drop 10 is better than drop 12 but i know he has improved his swing this off season and will be driving the ball into the gaps for doubles and tripples. What bat would be the best for him as he is lefty with speed?
Asked by Steve on Dec 28, 2011
If your son is already using a drop 10, then I would not go to a lighter bat. This would elimiate the Vertex and the Z-1000. If he is use to the Rival, which is designed for power, I would actually recommend the Easton S3 which replaced the Rival.
· Dec 29, 2011
Replacing a Louisville Slugger TPX 27/17 (last years model) with this Easton S1. Question is why does this bat feel so much heavier than the TPX even though they are both 27/17.
Asked by gobigred on Dec 27, 2011
Manufacturer's weigh the bats before they paint and put the grip tape so none will be a true 17 oz. It will just depend on how the bats are weighted in construction.
· Dec 27, 2011
Is the Easton S3's shape similar to the Easton Rivals?
Asked by BatKing99 on Dec 15, 2011
The Easton S3 is going to replace that Rival. The Easton S3 is going to be constructed almsot identical to the Easton Rival.
· Dec 15, 2011
Easton S1 has great reviews, but my concern is its durability, I had purchased a Easton Rival last year and it dented after my sons 1st use. We received 2 warranty bats and both bats could not hold up, and dented beyond use. Dont want to spend $300 hundred dollars and run into the same promblem. Do you know, or have you heard of any durability promblems with the S1?
Asked by hawaiian on Dec 15, 2011
This is a pretty new bat, but so far, we are getting rave reviews on it. Easton does have a 400 day warranty in case of an issue with it. That said, I always recommend having a backup alloy bat for practice, to save the wear and tear on your game bat.
· Dec 15, 2011
If this bat isn't an ideal bat for cold weather, what is an equivalent bat/technology that will perform well in cold weather?
Asked by dunkindon on Dec 15, 2011
It's not that bat isn't going to perform, it is just that ball is going to get harder because of the colder weather. Which could cause some durability issues for both alloy or composite barrel bats. We would always recommend having a back up bat to use in colder weather below 55 degrees.
· Dec 15, 2011
My son a 9u travel player. he is above average hitter has good contact and drives the ball hard and well. I am stuck between the Easton Omen: BNC10XL Senior League or the Easton S1: SL11SL110. i would be getting either bat in a 29/19 length/wieght. But im not sure which bat is a better fit for him. He likes the Omen just cause he has used it before with good results but that was a small barrel version. Any words of wisdom for me? Also who could i talk to about sponsorship for a youth traveling team? Thanks Concerned Dad/Coach
Asked by Vanillag on Dec 13, 2011
The Easton Omen and the Easton S1 are very similar bats. The both have composite handles and barrels and will have very good pop. You could pick either bat and it will give your son great power. At this time we do not have a sponsorship program in place nor do we know when we will have this type program in place. Thanks for the inquiry and we hope to help you soon.
· Dec 13, 2011
My son swings a 30/20 Easton Speed and I am looking at either the Easton Omen or this new series. Which is going to give him the same MOI feel and pop as the Speed?
Asked by Antonio on Dec 13, 2011
The Easton S1 is going to be the closest to the Easton Speed model in weight and feel. It also would be the closest in peforming to that Speed model.
· Dec 13, 2011
How well does he Easton S1 perform in the cold weather?
Asked by skibo on Dec 11, 2011
We do not recommend using the Easton S1 in weather below 55 degrees because it is more prone to cracking. There shouldn't be an issue with performance, just with durability.
· Dec 11, 2011
Between the Easton S1,S2, and the S3 which would be better for a players particular swing speed?
Asked by Run on Dec 11, 2011
The Easton S1, S2, and the S3 are all going to be well balanced models. It will come down to preferences over composite vs. alloy or one piece vs. two piece designs.

Impossible to say which is best, since each bat aids different types of batters. The play to the batters strengths and weaknesses. So depending on the batting ability of your player, determines the bat best for him.

They are actually made the same, both have the low MOI for the faster bat speed, both are 2 piece composites. Both have awesome pop. So really it's your preference.
