Pros: This bat is by far the best BBCOR bat on the market! I will admit when the BESR certification was in state I was never a big composite fan. I usually prefered one piece alloys like the Easton Rival. However, when my highschool team was given an opportunity to sample the power brigade bats (Speed Series only), this one by far out preformed the rest. I have tried the 5150, Voodoo (11 and 12 model), Both Rip its, Omaha, Surge, and obviously the S2 and S3. I truly believe composite is the way to go. This bat is slightly end heavy but more balanced than other BBCOR bats. Lets face it there aren't any BBCOR bats as well balanced as the old BESR models because of the ways the bat companys have to deaden them. I told my dad this bat is the best by far and I am currently in the process of buying it. This bat is definately worth the extra $100.00 that you would spend. I hope this review was helpful I tried to cover all the main concerns that I know I take into account when I am purchasing a bat.
Cons: The cost is obviously a factor. However, if you can afford it I would reccomend it. Obviously the biggest con is its BBCOR and like all BBCOR you just miss your BESR bats. Still by far the best BBCOR I have tried and probably the best on the market.
Review Summary
based on 41 ratings. 41 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 BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

by basehits - Dec 17, 2011
Pros: This bat out hit any other BBCOR on the market. I strongly reccomend this bat over the CF5 and Marruci Black.
Cons: Requires a little break in time ( 100 swings or so). EXPENSIVE
by john - Feb 29, 2012
Pros: im 6'3 220 i would say i am some what or a "power hitter" the XL1 is way too top heavy and your can feel the deference in the S1. the S1 has perfect balance and is still slightly end loaded. I swing a 34inch i would suggest the S1 for both power and contact hitters.
Cons: the cost but almost every quality bat out this your going to get scammed by the price haha there's NO way that cost them any more then $50 to make
by jacob - Jan 23, 2012
Pros: This is one of the best BBCOR bats that easton as out right now. This has a ton of pop for a BBCOR! I suggest this bat to every high school and college player
Cons: Nothing at all
by Carson - Feb 14, 2012
Pros: One of the best bbcor bats out there. I've had this bat for about 2 months now for batting practice. Season doesn't start for about 2 months. Bat has great pop. great balance. Not at all top heavy. It's perfect.
Cons: The yellow part gets black quick. But that doesn't matter. It's a bat!
by ORIOLES - Feb 22, 2012
Pros: Extreme Pop!!!!!!! Perfect bat for your contact hitters!!!!!!
Cons: Like it has any
by ceorider - Mar 12, 2012
Pros: Best swing weight of all bats, very good pop.
Cons: Every bat cracks and breaks within three weeks. There are at least four of these bats broken on our team. The most recent looked like the inside exploded. Warranty department cannot replace the bat for 30 days, but i can go spend another $400 in any store that sells Easton and get another one. How can every store and rep in California have these bats in stock but warranty departmetn cannot get me a replacement. Very disappointed in Easton.
by FLanny - Mar 18, 2012
Pros: The first SWING with this bat was a 350 foot home run over a 30 foot fence. This bat has a lot of pop almost as much as the old BESR
Cons: None...Awesome Bat!!
by RJ - Mar 20, 2012
Pros: This bat is amazing! I've had it for a while now, and it's lasted and gone the distance. It has tremendous pop and is very well balanced. It reminds me a lot of the BESR bats, and is without a doubt the best BBCOR bat on the market. $400 can be pretty pricy, but I feel like it's worth every cent. And everyone saying it snaps easily, it won't snap if you hit it where you should...
Cons: High priced @ $400
by Kob24 - Jan 12, 2012

Cons: little bit pricey but its worth it
by hitter - Apr 06, 2012
Pros: This bat has alot of pop when you first get it get alot of swings and they are durable and only break if you get jammed on the actual handle with a hard throwing pitcher otherwise the bat has amazing pop.

by CC#8 - Apr 15, 2012
Pros: this bat has a great swing weight. the pop is great.

by jake - Apr 22, 2012
Pros: amazing bat best one ive ever had
Cons: none
by Birdman - Apr 27, 2012
Pros: Evenly balanced, similar to wood pro stock lite. Great pop and sounds like wood bat. Love the bat!
Cons: Bought first one 2/3/12 cracked and died 4/12/12. Replaced it 4/16/12. That bat cracked at about same spot4/23/12.did not use in cold weather at all.Preformance great but their is a major design flaw. Easton has lost a lot of credibility and probably a customer!
by Lynn,Mass - Apr 28, 2012
Pros: Good grip with balance and weight
Cons: This bat at $424.95 is very costly,this bat broke after 9 days? had to send back to warranty dept with no help from them except to tell me after a 3 to 5 day inspection of the bat and if they have one in stock??? they will send me one,Ten days and counting no bat and played 5 games in H/S Baseball while waiting! you make the call on a $424.95 bat.
by KT - Apr 30, 2012
Pros: Gives you the results you want. It would be a five star rating if they would last long enough.
Cons: Second bat in unders 3 months. Last bat lasted only 2 days.The bat breaks in half. Easton customer service is horrible. They are in no hurry to replace broken bats. They leave you hanging for the season.
by GW - May 05, 2012
Pros: Great bat! Good pop, balanced, good sweet spot and it sounds great (like a wood bat) My high school team has been using 2 of these and are going to the Championships!
Cons: none
by Freshman Son - May 07, 2012
Pros: Great Contact Bat.
Cons: After 5 months the bat cracked in tight circle around the circumfrance of the bat near the sweet spot. It looks like it cracked around the band which is now noticeable. This is from half a season of use by a 115 lb freshman in high school. We will see how Easton warranties the bat. I believe it is a design flaw from the band they used to deaden the bat given where the crack is and how pronounced the band apears throught the bat wall. If Easton correct the issue (design) this would be an excellent bat.
by Jmezz899 - May 14, 2012

Ask QuestionI am 12 years old and want this bat or the XL1. I'm not sure which one to get considering I am about 5 ft. 4".
Asked by Sparky44 on May 16, 2012
The Easton XL 1 BBCOR is better suited for a power hitter since the bat is end loaded. For a younger player, a balanced two-piece bat like the Easton S1 BBCOR would be a better choice.
· May 16, 2012
What is the difference between the S1, S2 and S3 bats, besides the cost?
Asked by steve on May 09, 2012
The Easton S1 BBCOR is a two-piece all composite bat. The Easton S2 BBCOR is a two-piece bat with an alloy barrel and a composite handle. The Easton S3 BBCOR is a one piece all alloy bat.
· May 09, 2012
This bat doesn't have that nice "ping" as the S2, or S3, Why is that? It feels wrong.
Asked by EASTONFAN on May 08, 2012
The Easton S1 has a composite barrel and will not make the same "ping" sounds as aluminum barrel bats. It will make more of a "thud" or "crack" type of sound. Only aluminum barrel bats will make that traditional "ping" sound.
· May 08, 2012
my son is 13 years old playing in juniors, i want to get him this bat but its expensive, i wanted to know how long it will last him? i was hoping he could also use it in highschool.
Asked by andy on May 05, 2012
This is a great bat that if taken care of properly should last several years for him.
· May 05, 2012
I am 5'8 170 and hitting 5th on my team. I can hit the ball far and for contact. I am batting over .620 on my team. Which bat is better for me to get XL1 or S1?
Asked by Zack on May 01, 2012
Both the XL1 and the S1 would be great bats to consider. The main difference between these two bats is the XL1 has an end loaded feel to it, while the S1 is a very balanced bat. If you are not used to an end loaded bat, then I would probably go with the S1.
· May 01, 2012
Hello. My question is I am wondering if the S1 is better then the 2013 Voodoo or better than the Rawlings Velvo 5150?
Asked by k-mac21 on May 01, 2012
All three are great bats, but each are designed differently. The Easton S1 BBCOR will provide the most flex. The 2013 Voodoo BBCOR will have an end loaded feel. The Rawlings Velo will be the stiffest, better for a power hitter.
· May 01, 2012
What bat is better for hitting off of high speed pitchers the S1 or the XL1?
Asked by that guy on Apr 28, 2012
Both bats are great options. The BB11S1 is going to be more of a balanced bat to give the player a quicker swing. The XL1 is going to be more of an end loaded bat to give the player a little more pop off of the bat.
· Apr 29, 2012
my son is 5ft-4in would this bat be good foor him.
Asked by slugger on Apr 28, 2012
Yes the Easton S1 BBCOR is a good bat for your son. The S1 is very balanced in feel to increase bat speed for players.
· Apr 28, 2012
Which bat has the quickest, most balanced, and lightest swing out of the Easton S1 BBCOR, the Easton XL1 BBCOR, or the 2013 DeMarini CF5 BBCOR?
Asked by Tiger Fan on Apr 27, 2012
The Easton S1 BBCOR: BB11S1 Adult will provide the lightest swing weight.
· Apr 28, 2012
hey i am 5'11 and weigh 170 and ive been a power hitter my whole life is the S series still a good fit for me? and should i get 33 inch or 32 inch
Asked by Jake on Apr 27, 2012
Based on your height and weight, the common bat length used in your size range is going to be a 33" bat
· Apr 28, 2012
My son is 5'3" 100lbs and leads off for his team since he is more of a contact hitter. Currently he uses the Baum 32/29 bat, but I want him to also have a composite bat. S1?
Asked by Jacob's Dad on Apr 25, 2012
The Easton S1 is definitely a great bat. This bat is very well balanced and is a two-piece design like most contact hitters prefer. It would be a great bat to get your son!
· Apr 25, 2012
Is this bat fully composite, or is it half and half?
Asked by rc on Apr 24, 2012
The Easton S1 BBCOR is a two piece all composite bat.
· Apr 24, 2012
I am a contact hitter, would you recommend this bat or the s3?
Asked by jake on Apr 13, 2012
The Easton S1 and the S3 will have very similar swing weights both suitable for contact hitters. Either bat would be a great pick!
· Apr 13, 2012
Will the price ever go down?
Asked by andy on Apr 12, 2012
The Easton S1 BBCOR price is set by the manufacture. Normally, new bats will not go down in price until a new model is released.
· Apr 12, 2012
What is the difference between the XL1 and the S1?
Asked by andy on Apr 12, 2012
The Easton S1 BBCOR is a balanced bat. The Easton XL1 BBCOR is end loaded.
· Apr 12, 2012
Is it better to order a size up ? Ive heard the bat feels lighter. And is it worth the money?
Asked by Daniel on Apr 09, 2012
I recommend ordering the S1 in the same size you normally use. It is designed with a little lighter swing weight to help players who are looking to increase their swing speed. If you get a heavier size than normal, it may negate the benefits of the light swing weight design. In my opinion, the S1 is a great bat and definitely worth the money.
· Apr 09, 2012
Which bat has the most balanced and quickest swing out of The BB11S1, The BB11X1, or The DXCFC?
Asked by Cabby Fan 24 on Mar 30, 2012
The BB11S1 will be the most evenly balanced and will help to provide the lightest swing speed. The DXCFC would be just behind, followed by the BB11X1 which will have a slightly end-loaded feel.
· Mar 30, 2012
My son wants one would it work for him hes in juniors?
Asked by Bobby on Mar 22, 2012
This bat would definitely work for your son. The rules for the Junior League Division state, "Composite-barreled baseball bats in this division, regardless of barrel size, must meet BBCOR standards, and must be so labeled". This bat meets those standards and is labeled as such.
· Mar 22, 2012
Will it come in different colors next year?
Asked by John on Mar 22, 2012
As of 3/21/2012, we have not received any information from Easton about next year's line of bats.
· Mar 21, 2012
I am a decent hitter, weigh 110 lbs. and 5 feet tall and 5 inches. What is the best size I should buy, meaning the S1?

· Mar 19, 2012
what kind of hitter is the s1 best for
Asked by brenden on Mar 11, 2012
The S1 is tailored more for the base or line drive hitter. The technology put into this bat is specifically designed to transition swing speed into power for more distance on your hits. Here is the link to view more information on the S1. http://www.justbats.com/product/easton-s1-bbcor--bb11s1-adult/14439/
· Mar 11, 2012
Is this bat really worth $200 more instead of the S3?
Asked by Big Down Low on Mar 07, 2012
The Easton S1 is a two piece composite bat, whereas the S3 is a one piece alloy bat. Composite bats tend to have more pop due to the trampoline effect the material creates, but are more expensive and require a longer process to make, thus making the price higher. With the S3 being an alloy bat, it is still very durable and has great pop, but alloy bats go through an easier process in order to be made and the alloy materials are more affordable.
· Mar 07, 2012
Does this bat come in an all black color? I saw one over the weekend with incredible pop. Ball was jumping off the bat from a little guy. I really thought the bat was loaded. It was the S1.
Asked by coach on Mar 05, 2012
The BB11S1 comes as pictured with a black barrel, yellow and black lettering, black handle (with a section of yellow grip near the knob).
· Mar 05, 2012
When watching college games, I notice that 99% of Eastons teams including some of the power hitters are using the S series, does this series out perform the XL?
Asked by Nick on Mar 05, 2012
The S series is designed for a lighter swing weight giving the player more bat speed for added power. The XL series bats have a extended barrel, more end loaded feel generating more power. Choosing between the two will be based on what feels comfortable to you. One series does not out preform the other.
· Mar 05, 2012
MY SON IS 5'7" AND 135 LB (14YRS); WE PLANNING PURCHASE THE NEW (2012 EASTON BRIGADE S1)WHICH SIZE WILL BE BETTER 31"28 OZ OR 32"29OZ. THX IN ADVANCE.
Asked by KID on Feb 29, 2012
Based on his height and weight, I would suggest going with a 31" 28oz bat. If you need any further assistance in selecting the right size for your son, feel free to use our bat coach feature located at the top of the webpage or give us a call at 1-866-321-2287.
· Feb 29, 2012
I understand there is a difference in the barrell material used in the S1 and S2 (S1 is composite and S2 alloy) but how does that translate into the performance of the bat. What difference can I expect to see. I'm 16yrs, 5'-8", 125 lbs playing jv baseball.
Asked by Kyle on Feb 23, 2012
The main difference in the materials, is the amount of "pop" off of each bat. The composite material creates a trampoline effect when hitting the ball that can cause it to pop a little more than the alloy bats. The composite material will also require a break in and will perform the best over time, while the alloy bat will be hot out of the wrapper and not require a break in.
· Feb 23, 2012
I'm a power hitter 6'4, 250 and I'm playing in high school. The price is not a issue. Is this a good fit for me?
Asked by Ian on Feb 20, 2012
Many power hitters prefer the XL1 over the S1 as it is a little more endloaded and ofter benefits stronger hitters. The S1 will still work for you though.
· Feb 21, 2012
I am a contact hitter 6'1 150lbs. and I am playing adult league. I have medium bat speed, would the S1 or the S2 be better for me, or is there a bat that is more suited for this style?
Asked by Matt on Feb 20, 2012
Both the Easton S1 and S2 are great choices for a contact hitter since they are both two piece bats. The main difference between the two is the barrel material. The S1 has a composite barrel and the S2 has an alloy barrel. It basically comes down to what kind of barrel you prefer.
· Feb 20, 2012
What is the difference between the Easton Omen and the S1?
Asked by Gillky on Feb 16, 2012
The Easton S1 is the model that replaced the Omen. Both bats are going to be very similar and perform just about the same. The S1 is a newer bat that is going to be a little more durable and a little more balanced, but other than that everything is very similar.
· Feb 16, 2012
Can you tell me more about how the handle is connected to the barrel with the S1 and XL1? Is this technology new? Reliable? I feel a little play in the connection when I hold/move the bat. Thanks!
Asked by Hyb's on Feb 14, 2012
Easton S1 BBCOR two-piece has the patented two-piece technology for optimized feel at impact while maximizing energy transfer.If you do feel that the Easton S1 is separating you do have a twelve month manufacturer warranty were Easton will send you another bat.
· Feb 14, 2012
What is the difference between the Easton Power Brigade S1 and the S2? I'm playing high school ball at a Jv level. I'm 5'10", 135 lbs. Ive used it before and I was just wondering if there's a better bat for me.
Asked by Conner on Feb 09, 2012
The S1 is a two piece all composite bat. The S2 is a two piece bat with an alloy barrel and composite handle.
· Feb 09, 2012
If I am 5'3", 120 lbs and a medium power hitter which one of these Easton bats would be good for me?
Asked by Cam on Feb 07, 2012
One piece bats like the S3 are best suited for a power hitter.
· Feb 08, 2012
would the XL1 or the S1 be most identical to the performance and feel of the old easton stealth and sv12?
Asked by JoeyPap on Feb 06, 2012
The XL1 is going to feel the most like the old Easton Stealth Speed.
· Feb 07, 2012
It says the xl1 is for more power hitters does that mean it is just heavier or have more pop than the s1?
Asked by Jake on Feb 02, 2012
They are manufactured the same material and the same general design, but the barrel will be extended with the weight more distributed towards the end. So if a hitter can still generate good bat speed with the Xl, theoretically it will put more velocity on balls batted.
· Feb 02, 2012
Which bat is overall better the s1 or the xl1
Asked by Breda on Feb 01, 2012
They have the same composition design, but differ is swing weight. The XL will swing heavier, the speed series will is more balanced for better control.
· Feb 01, 2012
Do the S1 and XL1 feel the same when you make contact with the ball?
Asked by bigmike on Feb 01, 2012
On contact they will feel similar because they are the same material. But XL1 has more of an end weighted feel, the S1 is more balanced.
· Feb 01, 2012
Does this bat feel really flex and spongey or more stiff like an exogrid?
Asked by Mr. Cool on Jan 26, 2012
This bat will have a little bit more of a flex to it than the EXOGRID will.
· Jan 26, 2012
What is the difference in the S1, XL1, and the Easton Omen?
Asked by BigSlamin on Jan 24, 2012
The Omen is the 2011 model. The S1 is going to be a well balanced version of the Omen with a lighter swing weight. The XL1 is going to be a more endloaded vesion of the Omen which is going to be more designed for power hitters.
· Jan 24, 2012
I heard the more the bat is used the better it is. Is this true?
Asked by Deana on Jan 20, 2012
Yes. This bat has a composite barrel and the more it is used the more pop the bat will have.

Is it OK to hit from a machine to break in or do you recommend soft toss and tee work for the break in period?
Asked by mt-dew on Jan 19, 2012
To break in a composite bat you should use soft toss or a tee. It usually takes about 100-200 swings. Rotate the barrel about 1/4 inch each swing. Make sure not to use a composite bat in a batting cage that uses yellow dimpled balls.
· Jan 19, 2012
I never recommend hitting in a cage unless they use real baseballs. The dimpled or compressed rubber balls are horrible on composite bats. Soft toss or tee would be the easiest on your bat. With the S1 there is very little break in required.
· Jan 19, 2012
Would you recommend this over the Omen? (not going by price.) Does the all composite create a very noticable difference in pop instead of the half and half?
Asked by NIckAir on Jan 18, 2012
The S1 replaced the Omen, so they are going be constructed and perform the same. The S1 is a little lighter and balanced than the Omen. Balls tend to bounce off the composite barrels more than half and half bats because the composite material is similar to a trampoline.

i am 5'4 125lbs with very fast bat speed i have the 33in omen should i get the s1 or xl1
Asked by clemson4life on Jan 15, 2012
It is really a personal preference, if you are looking to get more pop off of the bat I would look at going with the XL1

How big are the sweet spots in the xl1 and the s1? Will the xl1 have more pop than the s1?
Asked by Swb12 on Jan 01, 2012
The sweet spots will be very similar. The difference between these bats is that the XL1 has more of an end loaded feel whereas the S1 is more of a balanced bat.
· Jan 03, 2012
Which easton bat is the best like ya it might be about preference but which has the most pop out of all of the eastons?
Asked by Austin on Jan 01, 2012
The S1 and the XL1 bats will be the better bats within Eastons line of bats. They have composite barrels and will have better pop.
· Jan 03, 2012
would you advise using this bat for batting practice every day between games? Or would you use it just for games after the break in period?
Asked by mark on Dec 22, 2011
Personally, I always recommend a different bat for practice to save the wear on your good bat.
· Dec 22, 2011
What's the difference between this bat and the Easton XL 1?

if my son decides he wants to go back to the 32/29 and send back the 33/30; how do you handle this?
Asked by AP on Dec 13, 2011
If the bat hasn't been used, simply use the return label we provided in the box and add a copy of the receipt telling us what size you want to replace it with.
· Dec 13, 2011
What is the expected power from the S1 vs the S2 vs the S3? My son is a 6'1" 205 lb 16/17 year old who has hit with power using a DeMarini Vendetta as well as his old Easton Hammer after the Vendetta broke in half. Would he be missing on the power front by going with the S2?
Asked by JoeZepUp on Dec 11, 2011
The power on a bat really depends on the player. The S1 is going to have the most pop. The S2 also has quite a bit of pop
· Dec 11, 2011
Is this bat basically like the old Easton Stealth Comp?
Asked by BAll on Dec 10, 2011

It is going to be similar, the S1 has a lower MOI and a slightly shorter barrel

does this bat hit like a one piece like the easton xl1?
Asked by j123 on Nov 26, 2011
This bat is going to have a little more flex than the XL1
· Nov 26, 2011
is this bat as stiff as the easton xl1?
Asked by j123 on Nov 25, 2011
Yes these two bats are definitely comparable in stiffness.
· Nov 26, 2011
marucci black, cf5, rip it (red one) and this bat, which one would you recommend. i used eastons all through little league and loved them but then i switched to demarini and loved them. i had the voodoo and best bat ive ever had but the new bbcor voodoos look like pop. i really do not like end loaded bats and i keep finding that problem with bbcors. i like prefer the two piece or full composite please help becasue i need a new bat really soon for high school. anything helps. thx again
Asked by t24 on Nov 24, 2011
The new CF5 has a nice balance to them. 2 piece all composite.
· Nov 25, 2011
which bat is better for power. the easton s1, marucci black, or rip it prototype 2?
Asked by j123 on Nov 23, 2011
Power hitters generally prefer 1 piece bats. So that said, I would lean toward the PrototypeII.
· Nov 25, 2011
Does this need to be broken in? if so how long will it take?
Asked by wine3 on Nov 22, 2011
Yes, this bat will have a break in period. We recommend around 150-200 swings either using it while doing soft toss or tee work. After every 10-15 swings rotate the barrel about a 1/4" so you break in all the composite fibers throughout the bat.
· Nov 22, 2011
Yes. A break in of 100-200 hits off a tee or soft toss will get this bat broken in.
· Nov 22, 2011
How big in length is the barrel on this bat?
Asked by Electric31 on Nov 20, 2011
Barrel length isn't a key selling point with baseball bats and the manufacturer's do not obtain this data. I went out to our warehouse and obtained an approximate barrel length of 8 to 8.5 inches.
· Nov 21, 2011
Does this bat have more pop than the omen because the omen wasnt very good in my opinion
Asked by J123 on Nov 20, 2011
The S1 is going to perform similar to the Omen. The biggest difference is the S1 is going to be a little lighter than the Omen.
· Nov 21, 2011
Is there any difference between pop between the s1 and xl1 if you could swing them the same?
Asked by J123 on Nov 20, 2011
The Easton XL series is going to be more for power hitters and the Easton S series is going to be more for contact hitters.
· Nov 20, 2011
How does this bat compare to the rip it prototype 2? Which one is better and what are each bats Pros and Cons?
Asked by J123 on Nov 20, 2011
The S1 is all composite and the Prototype 2 is all alloy. Composite bats tend to have more pop to them than all alloy bats. If you are a power hitter then the prototype would be a better choice because it is stiffer than the S1.
· Nov 21, 2011
How Big does the barrel size of the s1 compare to the barrel size of the easton stealth speed? Ive heard the barrel is tiny on the s1
Asked by J123 on Nov 20, 2011
Both are going to be about the same size barrel.
· Nov 21, 2011
What is the difference between the S1, S2, and S3? Also, why does the value change between each one?
Asked by Torro on Nov 19, 2011
The S1 is a one piece composite bat. The S2 is a half and half bat. The S3 is an aluminum bat.
· Nov 20, 2011
What is the difference between the S1 and the S2 Power Brigade Series?
Asked by YoImArabian on Nov 17, 2011
The S1 is an all composite bat and the S2 is a half and half. The S2 has a composite handle and an alloy barrel.
· Nov 17, 2011
If I am a more of a power hitter than a contact hitter but I like to have a balanced bat, what bat should I choose the xl1 or the s1.
Asked by Swb12 on Nov 17, 2011
If you are looking for a balanced bat the S1 would be the better option. The XL1 will have a slightly larger barrel but will have a slight end loaded feel to it.
· Nov 17, 2011
Can power Hitters swing this bat? Can power hitters hit just as far with the s1 compared to the xl1?
Asked by j123 on Nov 16, 2011
Yes. Power hitters can use this bat. Easton created two different designs to accommodate different types of hitters. The XL series was designed for power hitters who like more of an end-loaded feel, while the Speed series is created for your contact hitters who want faster swing speeds. It's up to the player on which bat is good for them.
· Nov 16, 2011
Is this a regular flex handle? I want this bat but I prefer a stiff flex handle
Asked by j123 on Nov 16, 2011
This has a stiff flex and is similar to the Omen.
· Nov 16, 2011
Between this bat Marruci black, and the Easton omen which bat is better as far as weight balance
