Easton S1: YB11S1 Youth

by Jon - Nov 02, 2011

Pros: Beautiful bat. Arrived in perfect condition (not always the case when you order online). I was a little concerned as Easton - unlike in years past when it gave us the specific MOI of its bats - does not tell us the specific MOI of this bat. However I can assure you it has a low MOI, lower than the Omen in my opinion, making for great swing speed and pop.

Cons: The round rubber label with the letter "E" on the end-cap (you can see it in the pictures above) popped off the first day my son used it. We are exchanging for a new bat.

Review Summary

Easton S1: YB11S1 Youth
4.396226 based on 53 ratings. 53 user reviews.

New for 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 is approved for play in all major youth associations. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

by Jon - Jan 27, 2012

Pros: This is Jon again. I posted above that the bat is great but the round, black, end-cap label with a yellow "E" came off the bat the first day. Well, I got a replacement bat and the same thing happened to the second bat: the round, black, end-cap label with a yellow "E" came off the bat the first few days. I tried gluing it on, and it came off anyway after a week or so. I can't believe Easton would put such poor design into a $250 bat. $250 and labels come flying off the bat? Wow. Maybe I’ll try made-in-America DeMarini next.

Cons: See above.

Cons: NOTHING.

by Rose4HOF - Apr 09, 2012

Pros: This bat is amazing and worth every penny. I have purchased my share of high end bats and rarely feel this way. The bat is perfectly balanced and great for any size youth large or small. Its loaded with amazing pop and power. The balls leaves the huge sweet spot like a rocket. The bats looks awesome and demands attention. Want to hit rockets that make infielders duck? How about a few shots over the fence? This is the bat!

Cons: Like a couple reviewers noted, the "E" sticker on the end of the barrel came off when hitting a monster home run. Ummmmm....its a tiny little sticker the size of a dime....who cares??

by Ivey - Apr 14, 2012

Pros: Nice bat and it swings light! Does not sting too much. Great for contact hitters! Would make a great bat for younger kids 11 and under. My son had the 31/18.

Cons: With the bat being light it does not have a lot of pop, but it is not designed for power hitters anyway. Ping is very loud when hit on the sweet spot but it's only an issue when taking BP indoors.

by J Tip - May 05, 2012

Pros: Awesome bat! It looks good and sounds solid when my son hits with it. Great pop as well. He just got the bat yesterday. He had his first at bat with it tonight, he hit a two run homerun to right-center field. We ordered this bat since he cracked his 2011 Nike Aero CX2 in the cage on Monday. So far, he says he likes this bat better.

Cons: None so far. As for all of the other people complaining about the E coming off...His is still intact after the break-in process and one game with a shot over the fence.

by Southside - May 09, 2012

Pros: Bought this bat for my boys last weekend. We took some BP to break it in before they used it for this weeks games. I even hit a few balls with it and wished I had this bat when I was a kid. My 8 yr old went 3 for 3 with two doubles and my 10 yr old went 3 for 4 with a double, a triple, and a HR. All three hit were bombs! This bat has extremely good pop. Half the team wanted to use it.

Cons: A little pricy for little league but can't put a price on the results!

Cons: Like others have said the "E" sticker on the top came off with first use so I just stuck it on my helmet (It's stayed on all season)... no biggy.

by notaneastonfan - May 09, 2012

Pros: Not much of an Easton fan, and I keep looking for a reason to not like this bat. However, after watching my son struggle with another bat for the first part of his season, we switched him to this bat. Since then, he has gone 7 for 8 with only one strike out. I'm not overly impressed with it, but he can sure put this bat on the ball. It doesn't go as far as hit other bat, but what good is the extra distance if you can't hit it during a game?

Cons: I could name several, but they would all be in my mind rather than reality.

Cons: Doesn't go very far when you accidentally hit the ball with junction of the bat (the part between the handle and the CXN that connects both parts of the bat), but I guess it's not supposed to.

Pros: GREAT BAT! Well balanced, and the ball jumps off the bat before its even completely broken in...and after its broken in...even better! They say it takes around 150-200 swings to break this bat in, but that wasnt the case for my 9 year old son. Hes only taken around 100 swings with it, and its definately well broken in! I would say its a small step ahead of the Omen, as far as pop.

Cons: It gets scuffed up fairly easy...but what bat doesnt?

Cons: it stings when i miss hit on end of bat. cf4 did not do that. but when you hit it right, it feels good.

Easton S1: YB11S1 Youth

by Thomas M - Oct 17, 2011

Pros: Great pop, easy to swing, very large sweet spot and it is just as good if not better the the omen. It is still good for power hitters because it is stiffer then your typical two piece but it will have some flex for contact hitters. Also it is the same as the omen just different paint job. Overall AWESOME BAT!!!! Please by it you will not regret it.

Cons: I screwed up the break in process so I will have to exchange it. Here is a tip: Do Not use those yellow softer balls they use in the cage it can damage the composite and if you want to break the bat in evenly do 100-150 soft tosses and turn the barrel one fourth every pitch if you want it to break in right.

Cons: the only thing is that this bat has some flex to it when you hit a ball. i was hoping the it was more stiffer like the cf4. i use the cf4 all last year. i like the S1 better even though it has to much flex for me. u12 baseball club player

Ask Question

26243

Can I assume the S2 (-13, aluminum barrel) has a lower MOI than the S1 (-12, composite)?

If you are comparing bats of similar lengths, then yes, the S2 will be lighter and have a lower MOI.

26160

My son is 4 ft 5 in. Tall and uses a Omen 28/18 bat and swings it well. Thinking of getting a 29 in. bat. Is this a good bat or the Easton XL1?

The Easton S1 will have a more balanced swing weight, better for a player who needs some bat speed. The Easton XL1 will have an end loaded feel, better for a power hitter.

25929

I got the Easton S1, and up to this point it has been very successful. It has a lot of pop and is light. However, I now notice that there is a weird rattling sound in the barrel. It is obvious something inside the bat has come loose. Any ideas on what could be wrong? Is it fixable? If its not, will it affect its performance?

Typically the rattle you are hearing is caused by a piece of composite material or glue that has broken lose inside of the bat. This is not something that will affect the life or performance of the bat. However, if you are worried about it, something that like should be covered under your manufacturer's warranty.

25808

My boy is 10yrs old and is the clean up hitter. He's is 4' 11 and is around 115lbs. What lenth and is this the best bat for him?

A 31 inch model would be recommended based on his height and weight. Unfortunately, there are dozens of high end bats on the market nowadays and there is not just one that will be the best for a particular player. The S1 is Easton's top of the line bat and is definitely a high performer.

24848

I am the fourth batter and need a 32/19!!!! What should I get XL or Speed?

If you need a 32" 19 oz. bat, the only option is the Easton S1. The Easton XL1 Youth is not produced in that size.

24815

How many balls must be hit and is it ok to hit them off of a tee in order to properly break this bat in?

We recommend talking between 150-200 hits either off of a tee or soft toss starting at about 40% power and increasing the closer you get to the 200 hit mark. Also, make sure you rotate the barrel between each hit and use the same balls you would normally use in a game.

24736

My son is 9 he weighs 56 lbs and is 54 in tall. He is a good contact hitter but needs more power. Would the s1 be a good bat for him and what size would you recommend?

The Easton S1 is a balanced bat with a very light swing weight. This should help your son improve his swing speed to add a little more power. Based on his height and weight, a 29" or 30" model would be recommended. I wouldn't go too much heavier than whatever bat he is currently swinging.

24525

Can the bat be used in cold weather (less than 50 degrees F)? What happens if it is used?

It is recommended to not use any bat in temperatures lower than around 50 degrees. These colder temperatures tend to affect the balls, making them more dense, which increases the chances of damaging your bat.

24030

I cant find any information on the new stamp rule taking effect next Little League season 2013. Would this bat be legal for 2013. What is this new rule all about? Is this a new composite rule or do alloy bats have to be stamp compliant? I'm also considering the anderson techzilla. would the 2011 techzilla be compliant?

Little League will not be requiring a new stamp for their youth bats. The only upcoming rule change in regards to stamps, comes from USSSA. USSSA will be requiring a new BPF 1.15 stamp on their youth bats, but not until 2014. The YB11S1 will still be legal in Little League in 2013 and beyond. The YB11S1 also features the new USSSA stamp and will be legal in USSSA this year, next year and beyond. The Techzilla is also Little League approved.

23805

About how many hits does it take for the bat to have the maximum amount of pop?

I would say that after about 150-200 hits, the YB11S1 will be good to go.

23167

My son used the Nike Aero CX2 Youth Baseball Bat and loved it but it is now illegal for Little League play. Does this bat compare to it? He used a 30/19 and makes good contact and hits for power.

The Easton S1 is a great choice if he is used to playing with a Nike Aero CX2. The S1 is very similar in design and feel to the CX2, so your son should have no problem using this bat and should be very pleased with it's performance!

23161

How does this bat compare to the Easton Convert? Which do you recommend for an 11yr old who plays travel ball?

Two-piece fully composite bats like the Easton S1 tend to have better pop. The Easton Convert is a two-piece bat with an alloy barrel and a composite handle. The Easton S1 will use top of the line composite material and would be a great choice for a competitive player.

22973

My name is mark and I am 11 years old. I am contemplating between the s1,s2 or s3. I am a contact hitter. I am 5'6" and 110lbs.

The S1, S2 and S3 are all very well balanced bats and designed with light swing weights. And they all are great options for a contact hitter. The S1 is their top of the line bat and is two piece, all composite. The S2 is two piece with an alloy barrel and composite handle. The S3 is one piece all alloy. The S1 has a ton of pop and would be a great option. Based on your size, a 31 inch model would be recommended.

22614

My son is 10 years old and is a lead-off hitter. He always makes contact with the ball. Is this a good bat for him? Or should he use the S2?

The YB11S1 is Easton's top of the line bat. It is two-piece, all composite and is a great choice for a good contact hitter.

21568

My son is 7 yrs old and playing coach pitch. He is around 50 pounds and 46 inches tall. The league allows 2 5/8 inch barrels. My son needs to improve bat speed but has good hand eye coordination. What bat do you recommend? Triton 27 inch 15 OZ? Easton SL11S110 27" 17oz? Aloha and Thanks.

Since your son is so young and he needs to improve his bat speed, I would suggest going with the Triton 27" 15 oz. This bat is lighter than the S1 and will probably be easier for him to get around.

20276

Are two piece composites like the S1 any less durable then one piece composites?

The two piece bats will not be any less durable than one piece composite bats.

19912

WHAT IS THE DIFFERANCE WITH THE S1,S2,S3 OTHER THAN PRICE??

Thanks for the question! The Easton S3 is a two piece full alloy design. The Easton S2 is a two piece hybrid design with a composite handle to decrease vibration and an alloy barrel. The Easton S1 is a two piece full composite design and may require a break in period for maximum performance.

18924

Is the S1 a doublewall bat?

The S1 is a single wall bat

My son is 8 years old. Weighs 72 lbs and is about 48 inches tall. Which size bat in the s1 would he need?

Based on your son's height and weight, I would suggest going with a 28" 16oz bat. If you need any further assistance in helping to find the right size of bat for your son, feel free to use our bat coach feature located at the top of the web page, or give us a call at 1-866-321-2287!

18043

Is this bat a balance bat or end loaded?Thanks for your time.

Thank you for your question. The Easton S1: YB11S1 Youth is going to be a balanced bat. Easton's S Series is their balanced line and the XL Series is the end loaded line.

The YB11S1 is designed with a balanced weight to give the player a faster swing speed and more power.

18024

What's the hitting break in period?

We recommend taking 150-200 hits either off of a tee or soft toss starting out at about 40% power and increasing the closer you get to the 200 hit mark. Also, make sure you rotate the bat about a 1/4 of an inch in between each hit to ensure an even break-in all around the barrel of the bat and use balls similar to the ones that are used in games.

17032

I'm contemplating between the S1 and the S2. My son is 53in. 64 lbs, has a better than average swing speed. Can't decide between the S1 or S2, and a 30in. or 29in bat. He currently uses a 29 drop 13 Easton reflex. Suggestions?

Based on his height and weight we suggest a 30" bat. We suggest the S1 because it is an ounce heavier and if he has good bat speed he should be able to handle the extra ounce.

16642

I have a 6 year old. I need something with more pop, how would i go find what bat he needs?

I'm not 100% sure what bat he's currently using to compare to. However, you can always sort the bats on the website by bestsellers to get an idea of what's most popular. This usually indicates what bats perform the best as well.

16441

I am debating on whether to purchase the Easton Omen or the S1. Is there a reason I should spend the extra money on the S1?

As you have noticed these two bats are identical. The thing is that the Easton Omen will no longer be produced and therefore is cheaper. But, overall these both are very quality bats.

16159

Is it legal for Pony League?

Yes, this bat will be legal for Pony Leagues. This bat does have the new USSSA stamp.

16096

This bat has replaced the Easton Omen: LNC1XL Youth, correct? And it is approximately $40 more. What difference are we getting for that $40? I am trying to directly compare these two bats to make a choice.

You are correct. The Easton S1 is the model that has replaced the Omen. The S1 and the Omen are going to be pretty similar, but the S1 is going to be slightly more balanced and a little more durable.

15969

My name is Will. I am pending on this bat or the XL1. I'm a power hitter, which one is better?

These are both good bats. The XL1 does have a little end loaded feel and will be designed for power hitters like yourself.

15860

I know this is a new 2012 bat and it's approved for Little League 2012 but is it approved for any other years to come?

From all of the rule updates we have seen here at Justbats.com, this bat should be good to use for years to come.

15529

Which bat would you suggest for my 11 year old son who is 5' 3" and 110 lbs. He will be playing in the majors division the S1 or the CF4 ST?

Both the DeMarini CF4 and the Easton S1 are going to good choices. The CF4 is going to be a double wall design that will help with the durability and strength to maximize power. The half and half system this bat features is going to help redistribute weight for optimal balance, which will allow the player to swing faster with less effort. When it comes to the East S1, the bat is going to be pretty balanced as well, which will help keep the bat balanced in the swing zone. It is also going to feature a lower moment of inertia (M.O.I.) which will create a lighter swing weight and generate more power. I don't think you could go wrong with either bat.

15461

My son is currently swinging a 28/15 Rawlings plasma alloy bat. Looking for something comparable with a bit more pop.

The S3 is going to be the most comparable of any of the new Easton series bats. The S3 is an alloy bat with good pop. It is available in a 28/15.

15425

Is the S1 barrel the same as the Omen -12? Also, are there any other differences like balance and swing speed?

Both the S1 and the LNC1Xl have 2 1'4 inch barrels. The swing weights of the two will be very similar.

15294

My 9 year old son is currently using a -13 Easton Surge 29/16. Good contact hitter w/ good bat speed. Looking for more pop off the bat. Would a 29/17 Easton S1 be a good replacement?

If you are looking for a youth bat that is pretty comparable to the Surge, I would suggest checking out the Easton S2 located here: http://www.justbats.com/product/easton-s2--yb11s2-youth/14533/. This is the bat Easton created to replace the Surge. This bat is going to be a good choice for contact hitters and is evenly balanced which will help keep the bat level through the swing zone. This bat also features the lowest Moment of Inertia (M.O.I.) on the market to create light swing weights and help generate more power.

15279

Does this bat need to be broken in?

This bat has a composite barrel and will need a break in period between 100-200 batted balls. Turn the handle a quarter inch between hits to evenly break in the bat.

15273

Is this bat approved for the Cal Ripken League. I want to purchase it, but no one can tell me for sure if its ok for league.

Yes, this bat would be approved for Cal Ripken play in 2012. This bat does not exceed a 2 1/4" barrel and does state on the bat that it meets the BPF 1.15.

15247

Does the Easton 29/17 S1 have the same barrel length as the 29/17 LNC1XL Omen? Thx

Yes, this bat is what replaced the omen. They do have the same barrel length

15028

My son is 7 52" tall and 53 lbs. He used a aluminum Omaha 29" drop 13 last year. We are looking at the S1. Would you recommend giving up the 1" to stay with a weight of 16oz or keep the length of 29" and add 1oz in weight? Swing indicator had him 52-53 with 17oz and 54-55 with 16oz.

If he needs the swing speed then I would stick with the lower weight. Based on his height and weight I would also stick with the 29 inch 16 oz.

15016

Is this Bat Approved for 2012 Play in BabeRuth 13-15 division play?

No. All composite barrel bats must be BBCOR certified.

14915

is this good for line drive hitter to be more powerful,and rite bat for a two hitter with good hand speed

This is a great bat for a line drive hitter and it will give you some added power. This is designed as the speed series and a two hole hitter with good hand speed will love this bat.

14895

my son is 13.he is 5"3 115lb what bat would be good fit?

For his size a 31-32" bat will be a good size. Try using our bat coach which is at the top of the page.

14339

best bat for first time player 10 years old about 75 pounds. Easton S1, Combat 4, or DeMarini CF5

Easton S1 is going to be a great choice for him. This bat has a great balance and will help develop his swing speed

14337

I am going to be 13 soon I'm 5 feet tall about 80lbs I'm contact hitter I've narrowed my choices to Easton s1,xL1 and Demarini CF5 what is the better bat and are all approved for junior little league?

All these are approved for this year. I would go with the Easton S1. It is going to have a very balanced swing weight and help improve your swing speed

14320

is this bat approved for junior little league.

I would check with a coach or league official. From our understanding you are unable to use composite barrel bats in little league juniors.

13777

My, son use a Omen drop 12 (30-18). We, had a demo day, and try the S1 drop 12 (30-18 / 31-19). They were to light for him. Is, there a lot of difference, between. The Omen and the S1.

The S1 is the replacement for the Omen, they have comparable construction, that differ mainly in cosmetics.

13543

Is this bat legal in Pony League, and does it come in a bigger barrel?

This bat is pony approved and it does come in a big barrel

13344

Does this bat come in different barrel sizes?

The S1 does come in a 2 5/8 inch barrel.

13276

Selecting the right Easton bat for my 9yr old son. He is 5ft y'all weighing 85 lbs with a compact powerful swing. Loves his rival big barrel for select but needs a bat for little league. Which Easton model do you recommend. S1, S2, XL?

I would recommend the XL3 if he is a power hitter. It is slightly end loaded but the drop is light enough he shouldn't have any problems with swing speed.

13259

My son is 8 and is one of the smaller players. He has trouble with power but is a good contact hitter That is why I want to buy him an S1. He used a 27/17 easten surge last year. He is 52 inches tall and weighs 54 pounds. My question is what is your opinion about the S1 youth 2 1/4 barrel 28/16 vs the 2 5/8 barrel 27/17. What will give him more bat speed.

the 2 1/4" is going to be 2oz. lighter for him, it will be easier for him to swing, but the 2 5/8 barrel is going to give him more coverage.

13140

Are there temperatures at which you aren't supposed to use the composite bats?

Most manufacturers recommend not to go below 55 degrees.

13050

What is the minimal Temperature this bat can be used at? Used the MV3 and Freak previously and had to baby it in early spring practices.

We advise not using the S1 in anything below 45 degrees

12791

I am debating on between the S1 and the Anderson Neno. Which bat displays more pop if the bat speed of the swing was the same

They are both high performing bats. It will come down to player preference on either two piece or one piece bat and also composite or alloy barrels.

12790

In regards to my first question, our little league in Hawaii does not allow for a bigger barrel or coach pitch bat. All bats have to be in the 2-1/4" variety. He also is currently swinging a 27" -14 combat d2 tee ball bat, and has good control over the length. Are there any other suggestions you could make? I'm looking for something that he can take up to coach pitch. His d2 has seen better days, and I didn't want to buy him another tee ball bat with only a few games left. Also he is 47" tall and weighs about 51 pounds. Thanks

Some of the more popular and better performing 2 1/4 inch youth bats on the market are the DeMarini Voodoo DXVDL, Easton S1 YB11S1, DeMarini CF5 DXCFL, and Combat B4 B4YB1. All of these are offered in a length to weight ratio that your son would be able to handle. Based on his height and weight, a 29 inch bat with a weight between 16 and 18 is recommended.

12770

My son is currently playing tee ball and is moving up to coach pitch in a month. Can he use this bat for both? I know a $200 bat is a little excess for a 6 year old, but he like baseball and swings pretty well. With that side will this bat give him more pop of the tee, and off a coach pitch? I'm willing to spend the money, if hitting the ball farther helps him build more confidence.

I would be looking at coach pitch or junior big barrel bats. A good choice is the Easton XL3: JBB11X3 Junior Big Barrel. I would suggest a 25 inch, 15 oz.

12735

I narrowed my choices down to the Easton S1 and Louisville Slugger Exogrid2...what are your thoughts

It will really depend on what kind of bat you are looking for. The S1 is a two piece all composite bat and will provide more flex than a one piece bat like the Exogrid. If the player doesn't have a lot of strength, I would recommend the S1.

12585

Having a hard time choosing between the S1 and Xl1. My son is 10 and has very quick bat speed with his his Demarini Voodoo 30/17. He has used 30/21 Big Barrell and can swing a Senior 30/20 Combat B3 (with slightly desreased bat speed) He wants more power but doesn't want to sacrifice bat speed.

I would go with the XL1, it will give him more pop, it is going to be more end loaded but it should not slow down his swing too much

12475

My son plays in COYBL. The rules require 1.15 BPF stamped on the bat (not on a sticker). Does this bat meet these reqirements?

Yes, this bat has the imbedded stamp of the USSSA 1.15 BPF marking.

12418

we have narrowed it down to the demarani CF5 and the Easton S1, please help. 11yr old good hitter, needs a bat to help become "power hitter"!!

Personally, I like the S1. Low MOI for bat speed, nice balance, great pop.

12323

My son has the Surge right now, how much will better is the S1. Will he notice the difference.

The S1 will give him more pop and better results as a hitter. The S1 has a composite barrel which over time will be a better choice the an alloy barrel bat.

12138

I just found out my son can swing both 2 5/8" and 2 1/4" barrel bats. Is there a difference between the to sizes that would make a huge difference in pop?

Depending on his age and size, would determine which one would best suit him. Example: If he is 12yrs old and a decent sized kid, most definitely go with the bigger barrel, as that is what is required in high school. If he is like 8 yrs old, and smaller, I'd go with the smaller barrel until he gains a little more strength. The small barrel allows you to go with a lighter weight.

11754

Do they only make this in a -12? I'm looking for a -10.

At the moment that is the only size in the S1. The youth big barrel model, the SL11S110 is a -10, but not the youth small barrel.

11535

Is the power brigade going to be the best bat on the market? Will it give an edge above the other players?

I personally think this is going to be one of the top bats approved for 2012 play.

11408

Is it safe to say that this is the best youth baseball bat on the market? If not, what is?

It would be pretty safe to say it is one of the best out there.

11170

Will more people get this than the omen this year? Will this bat increase my chance of getting big hits?

The S1 replaced the Omen. The S1 is going to be a little lighter. So if you want quicker bat speed the S1 is going to be the better choice.

10913

Is this bat approved for Little League play for 2012?

Yes, this bat is approved for little league in 2012

10903

Do youth bats like this one have the usssa 1.15 stamp?

Yes, this bat is going to have the BPF 1.15 stamp on it

10689

My son plays USSSA and AAU baseball he swings the Easton Omen 30-20 Big Barrel. We are giong to play some park ball this year as well witch requires us to use 2 1/4 barrel. All we use is Easton Bats we have had great success with them.He is 10 years old 4'10" tall and his weight is 115 lbs. and a strong hitter witch of the Power Brigade bats would work best for him?

If he's a strong hitter, the XL1 may be a better choice for him. The XL1 and S1 are most comparable to last year's Omen. The XL1 has a slight end-load feel which is often beneficial for strong, power hitters.

10626

Looking for a new bat for my 11 year old son 5.5" 130lbs. Had good results with easton V12 -13 Last year thinking of going to the S1. Easton fan, should i stay with s1 or go to xl seires?

If he had good luck with the V12 then the XL would be the way to go.

10582

What is better power brigade s1 or demarini cf5

Both are good models, the S1 is going to be more balanced than the CF5

10331

is it usssa aproved

Yes, this bat is going to be USSSA approved.

10139

Which bat gets more power to hit balls further, s1 or xl1

It depends on what type of hitter you are. If you are a strong hitter with above average swing speed, the XL1 will be better for you. If you are a contact hitter looking to increase swing speed, the S1 will be better for you.

10138

is a stiff bat good and if so what is stiffer, b4, s1, xl1, cf5, or nanotec anderson

The Anderson Nanotek will be the stiffest out of all the bats you mentioned. Stiff bats are often preferred by stronger, power hitters.

10137

What is a better bat, s1 or xl1?

It depends on what type of hitter you are. If you're a strong hitter with naturally high swing speed, then the XL1 is better suited for you. If you are a contact hitter or you're looking to increase your swing speed, the S1 would be better suited for you.

10061

Which bat generates more power and is able to hit baseballs further, s1 or xl1

I'd lean toward the XL1.

9941

Is the easton omen better or is this bat better?

This bat replaced the easton omen, it is going to have upgraded material

9897

i am 11 and am 5'2 100 and want to get a composite bat. i have a 31' 20 oz but i want to get this bat but it seems to light. would this be a good bat

These are great bats and is comparable to the omen. But this bat is a -12 and would seem even light than the -11 that you say seems to light. You may want to go with a -10 in the Easton's Brigade line.

9887

What is the difference between the S1 and the S2?

S1 is a 2 piece fully composite model. The S2 is 2 piece hybrid alloy barrel/ composite handle bat.

9886

Is this bat LL (composite) approved?

Yes, this bat meets all of the new rulings and requirements.

9436

I am going into majors for the first time and was wondering if I should get the easton omen or the easton s1?

The S1 replaced the Omen, so they are going to perform about the same. The only difference is the S1 is going to be a little lighter than the Omen.

9074

Between the Easton S1,S2,S3. Which bat would be optimal for a 49 inch 60 lbs, medium swing speed contact hitter. Or is one model bat better for certain swing speeds?

I would suggest the S1 for him. It has the lowest MOI for quicker bat speed.

8926

Son is 12 and 5"1" 110lbs...Is the 32/20 S1 to big for him or why size would you recommend? He currently swings a 30/18 Combat B1

The 32/20 should be a good size for him. General rule is when players turn 12 you should start graduating them into heavier bats to prepare, if they decide to play high school baseball. The required drop weight is a -3 in high school.

8801

Is it little league approve?

Yes. It is approved for Little League for this upcoming year.

8514

We currently have an Omen 29 drop 12 from last summer. Is the S1 stiffer then the 2011 Omen?

The S1 is replacing the Omen. They will be very similar bats. Both at 100% composite and will be a balanced weight.

8489

is this bat as good as the stealth?

Yes, it is! It's of the same 2 piece all composite design as the Steath, with Easton's awesome technology.

8457

(1) Does this bat require "breaking in"? If so, how? (2) Is it OK to clean the balls marks on this bat with Magic Eraser? Or will Magic Eraser damage the finish?

Yes, this bat is all composite and does require some break in. I would just have someone willing to pitch to you and hit, rotating the bat 1/4 turn after each hit for an even break in. As to the Magic Eraser thing, I have never heard of that being used, so I cannot give advice on how it will affect the bat.

8337

Is it going to be allowed in 2012?

Yes, it is approved for 2012.

8297

what is the diffrence in the barrel lenth of the s1 and the xl1. like how much larger is the barrel lenth in the xl1

The XL1 will have a slightly longer barrel (no more than a half inch to one inch) than the S1. The XL1 will also have a more end-loaded feel as well.

8229

Does this bat have a lower MOI than the -12 Omen?

No, it's actually about the same as the Omen. Both swing light for faster bat speeds.

8217

I know that this bat is legal, but is there any slight chance that they woul make this bat illegal next year? It being stamped, and what not?

This is the newest model by Easton and it meets all little league requirements. Now, barring the leagues don't change the rules again, it will be legal.

As of today, the bat is stamped as legal for 2012. I don't know if they will change the rules in 2012.

8082

is it a good bat for an 11 year old

Yes, this bat will be a very good option for a 11yr old. This bat has very good POP and will be very durable.

8080

The description says: "This bat is approved for play in all major youth associations." But, is this bat approved for Cal Ripken/Babe Ruth, Little League, and Pony?

Yes. For 2012 it is approved for all those organizations.

7863

Can you use this bat for fastpitch softball?

Probably not. Most fastpitch leagues are governed by ASA rules. This is a youth baseball bat that is not ASA certified.

We have heard of young girls using youth baseball bats, but to be safe, check with her league to see if they allow it.

7469

My grandson has hit over 250 balls soft-toss with his new S1 baseball bat and practice two times with it. Yesterday i was at practice and when he hit the ball it sounded like it was dead/ no pop. Is it just not broken in yet or what?

After 250 hits, it should be broken in. If you think something may be wrong with your bat you can give us a call at 1-866-321-2287. We'll be happy help out.

7464

Is the s1 approved for use during the 2012 little league season?

Yes, this bat will be approved for Little League.

7387

Will this bat be available in s 2 and 5'8 senior league version? If so when? Thanks

Yes, they are coming out with the 2 5/8" barrel. Should be out sometime in Nov 2011

7222

im a contact hitter and which is the alloy and composite s1 or s2 or are they both

The S1 is a two-piece, all composite bat. The S2 is a two-piece bat with an alloy barrel and composite handle.

7148

what will have better bat speed the omen or the s2 or the s1 and which will have the most pop

The S1 or S2 will have better bat speed. Pop will depend on the type of hitter using them. They are all very good bats.

6888

Should i get this or the omen?

You truly would love either one, they are both 2 piece composite, both have the low MOI for fast bat speed. Easton has really done a great job with both of these bats.

6777

i am 12 and i want a bat that is 32 inches but i dont want 22 oz and my choices are the s1,xl1,and exo what should i get???

With a question specific like this you may want to contact us directly at 1-866-321-2287

6769

This bat the s1 or the marucci cat 5 youth? I'm a contact hitter. Im favoring towards the marucci cat 5

Both bats are great options, the S1 is a two piece full composite design, the Marucci cat5 is going to be a one piece full alloy design, either one could be used for a contact hitter.

6656

I've narrowed my choices down to the S1, COMbat B3 & B4 and having a hard time deciding between these 3. How do these 3 compare to each other? I have 2 boys, 1 who hits grounders and the other hits the balls in the air. Any suggestions? Also, I'm thinking of getting a 30/18 for the boy who hits gounders. He is 53" and weighs about 62lbs. For my other boy, who hits fly balls, is 49" and weighs about 63 lbs, I'm thinking of 29/17 size bat. They both play travelball and little league. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

The S1 is going lightweight and balanced and will give the hitter a faster swing speed than the B3 and B4.

6572

Which bat has more pop? This Easton, the other youth Easton xL1, or the youth Marucci cat5?

The difference between this S1 and the Easton youth XL1, really depends on what type of hitter you are. If you have high swing speed and are looking to add more power, then the XL1 may work better for you. If you are looking to increase your swing speed then the S1 will be a good choice for you. The Marucci Cat5 is an excellent choice. It is a balanced bat that will be on par with the S1 and XL1 in terms of pop.

6359

The Omen has BPF 1.15 on the bat but not the Stamp, does the youth S1 have the BPF 1.15 Stamp on the bat?

Yes, this bat does have the USSSA stamp.

6328

what is better the easton s1 or the combat b4 and what has more pop.?

This Easton S1 is going to be one of the hottest bats on the market right now. It is going to be using all the newest technology. It is going to be using the best composite material on the market.

6287

Does this bat really give you Speed=Power

The Speed Line of bats from Easton will have lower MOIs which can result in higher swing speeds for the hitter. Higher swing speeds equal increased performance or power.

6181

Whats better EASTON S1 or DEMARINI CF5?

It really comes down to personal preference. Both are 2 piece full composites with very good pop.

6163

Does this bat and the omen perform the same?

Yes, they are very similar bats in performance and durability. However, Easton has made some minor upgrades to the bat.

6120

When will the Power Brigade bats be available for shipping?

This is part of the Power Brigade Series and is available to ship now. A lot of the Power Brigade Series is available now, the rest should follow very soon.

6087

How does this bat comare to the Omen?

It is very similar but a slight upgrade. Both are 2 piece full composite designs that have tremendous pop.

6065

how long is the break in period and since every is getting worried about the composite bats is it going to have as much pop as the Omen

This bat will need 100-150 soft tosses to break in the bat. All composite bats will need to be broken in. This is going to be the newest version of the Omen.

5535

Is this a stiff bat?

This is one of the stiffer bats that are a two piece bat that we have on our site. This is going to be one of the newest bats that we have. This bat uses some of the newest technology on the market.

This will be a little stiffer than your typicall two-piece bat, but it will offer some flex as you're swinging through the zone.
