Pros: Just used it in my batting cages in my backyard with leather covered balls and the ball was flying off the bat it felt really good and my first game with it is tomarrow... HOPE IT GOES WELL
Cons: The weight is slightly strange because although you can get a very fast swing with it... it is more top heavy than a lot of easton BBCOR bats. Still over all probably the best bat ive owned!
Review Summary
based on 21 ratings. 21 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!

Pros: I am a high school coach and bought 2 of these for my guys in 32 and 33 in. They love em. Liked em more than the S1 even. But...
Cons: We had to have them both replaced before we even played a game. Both bats broke at the connection between barrel and handle.
by Password - Feb 08, 2012
Pros: Nice Handle. Good weight distribution.
Cons: little pricey but, worth every bit!
by - Nov 02, 2011
Pros: Nice design, good pop and breaks in quickly. My son loves it. A freshmen in HS he was forced to give up his dimerini c4 that he loved but has not missed a beat with this one. Great bat for line drive hitters.
Cons: none
by jacob - Mar 02, 2012
Pros: has good pop it is better then a lot of bbcor bats out there.

by freddy - May 02, 2012
Pros: good grip,wonderful sweet spot, nice size barrel,not too much flex and i hit a 345 ft bomb i couldn't even hit that far with the exogrid2 and im 14yrs old
Cons: people say it snaps but nothing like that so far
by Mhodges - May 03, 2012
Pros: good pop
Cons: My son is on his third bat in 2 months. They continue to break at the conection point. A 110lbs 13 year old should not be able to break a $300 bat with normal use. Nike here we come.
by John - May 03, 2012
Pros:
Cons: Not worth the money. Didn't make it 3 months and the 2 piece seperated.
by baseball - May 16, 2012
Pros: looks cool
Cons: it doesnt hit good and has no pop sounds like a dead bat when you hit it
by John T. - May 18, 2012
Pros: Easton is very good at customer service, we found that out with this purchase
Cons: The S3 has a major defect issue. My son is on bat #3 and it just broke. Bought #1 in February and it is now May. They break at the connection, bat starts to rattle and loses all pop as it is no longer rigid. Can't play with it broken and they seem to break at the 2 week mark. Easton needs to fix this on the next generation of these bats.

by Gunnar - Mar 15, 2012
Pros: I have been using this bat for a few weeks now and I really like it. I love the weighting and the barrel isn't obnoxiously large. It feels just like a BESR bat and has great pop. (I'm a senior in high school 5'10, 160lbs by the way)
Cons: Ball marks get left on the bat over time. Not a problem though because it kinda looks cool.
by high school freshman - Mar 07, 2012

Pros: Great pop, nice feel, great weight distribution, cool design, legit handle
Cons: No "ping" whatsoever, other than that, it's a great bat
by 20 buck T - Dec 29, 2011
Pros: the easton power brigade S2 is the BBCOR bat to buy. Well balanced and swings thru the hitting zone very quickly.It is made for line drive don't let that stop you from buying it if you think you have power. My son is 14yrs old and hit with power loved it. Hit line drive plus 330+ yards with the S2. It has a very nice barrell not so big that your bat drags thru the hitting zone. I have the S1 and S2 both are really great bats.
Cons: NONE i can't stress it more this is the bat for 2012

Ask QuestionWhat is the real difference between the S2 and the S3?
Asked by Willie on May 16, 2012
The difference between the Easton S2 and the Easton S3 is that the Easton S2 is a two-piece hybrid design, which means it has a composite handle and aluminum barrel. The Easton S3 is a one-piece fully aluminum design. Here is a link to take a closer look. http://www.justbats.com/compare/
· May 16, 2012
Would the S2 or the Marruci Black be better for a mainly contact hitter?
Asked by Reid M on May 16, 2012
The Easton S2 BBCOR and the Marucci Black are two-piece bats, great for contact hitters. Both are excellent, balanced bats with a lot of pop. You really can't go wrong with either one.
· May 16, 2012
Does the BB11S2 have the lowest M.O.I. out of all of the BBCOR bats?
Asked by Batsball on May 11, 2012
Unfortunately, not all bats are tested for MOI and if they are, that information is not always released by the manufacturer. However, the Easton S1, S2 and S3 are 3 bats that would have some of the lowest MOI ratings on the market.
· May 11, 2012
Would you recommend the Easton S2 or the RIP-IT Prototype? I'm a contact hitter but I've been doing pretty well with one piece bats. I've never used a two-piece bat.
Asked by Cow on May 04, 2012
Contact hitters normally use a two piece bat, however there is no rule that says you can't use a one piece. The Easton S2 BBCOR will be more balanced than the RIP-IT Prototype, which has a slightly end loaded feel.
· May 04, 2012
I'm 13, 87 lbs, 5'2", and a contact hitter. Should I get the S2 or S3 and in what length and weight?
Asked by Matthew on May 02, 2012
If you are a contact hitter, I would suggest going with the S2. The two-piece design of this bat will probably better suit your hitting style. Based on your height and weight, I would also suggest going with a 29 inch bat.
· May 02, 2012
I'm 13 years old, weigh 85 lbs, and I'm 5'2". What length and weight should I get?
Asked by Matt on May 02, 2012
Based on your height and weight I would suggest a 29 inch bat. If you need more help in trying to find the right size of bat for you, feel free to use our bat coach feature located on our website.
· May 02, 2012
I am a power hitter that uses bat speed and quick hands to generate most of my pop. Would I be better suited with the S series or the XL?
Asked by Danny on Apr 27, 2012
A good choice for you is any of the XL series bats as these have extended barrels, more end loaded feel and designed more for power hitters.
· Apr 28, 2012
I am a power hitter but have the Easton S2. Will I still be able to hit 300-350 foot homeruns like I did last year?
Asked by wolfie on Apr 20, 2012
Power hitters typically prefer one-piece bats, and the Easton S2 is a two-piece hybrid with a composite handle and alloy barrel. You'll still be able to reach the fences, but the S2 won't be as stiff as a one-piece bat and you'll lose a bit of bat head control.
· Apr 20, 2012
I had an easton speed before and really liked it. I am a gap hitter and bat leadoff. Which bat would be better, this one or the S1?
Asked by Max R on Apr 15, 2012
If you really like the Stealth Speed, I would recommend the S1. Like the Speed, the S1 is a two piece all composite bat.
· Apr 15, 2012
I'm 5'2" and 95 lbs. in high school and a contact hitter. What would be the best bat for me?
Asked by nick on Apr 15, 2012
For your size and hitting style, I recommend a 29" 26oz., two-piece BBCOR bat.
· Apr 15, 2012
I am a contact hitter, usually batting lead off. I want a balanced bat with good pop. What would be the best option between the Exogrid 2, Omaha, Demarini CF5, or this?
Asked by Will on Apr 13, 2012
Two-piece bats like the Easton S2 BBCOR are great for contact hitters. The Easton S2 BBCOR will be the most balanced of all the bats listed above.
· Apr 13, 2012
I am 6'1 about 160, I have fast hands, I can be a contact hitter and I can hit for power. Would this bat or the Xl2 be better?
Asked by Wes on Apr 10, 2012
If you have fast hands with above average swing speed, the XL2 may be a better option for you as it is designed for players with above average bat speed and strength.
· Apr 10, 2012
Is this bat's sweet spot small?
Asked by Wes on Apr 10, 2012
No. The BB11S2 has a good size sweetspot with excellent pop.
· Apr 10, 2012
What are the similarities between this Easton S2 and the Easton Omen?
Asked by mike on Apr 08, 2012
The Easton Omen has a composite handle and barrel, while the S2 has a composite handle and an alloy barrel. Both bats are pretty balanced as well.
· Apr 08, 2012
Which Easton bat that is out on the market would you recommend? Price is not a factor, but it would be nice if it were cheaper. I just want a bat with good pop and even balance throughout.
Asked by Matt on Apr 04, 2012
I would probably recommend any bats from Easton's new Power Brigade series. The S3 and the XL3 are going to be the lowest priced out of that series are very good bats. These bats are some of our top selling bats and are definitely worth the investment.
· Apr 04, 2012
I am 5'5'' 150 lbs and 14. What bat is better for me the S2 or XL2?
Asked by middle school bball on Mar 29, 2012
Well, that depends on whether you want a balanced or an end loaded bat. These bats will perform the same. However, the XL2 has an end loaded feel to it and the S2 is a very balanced bat.
· Mar 29, 2012
Hi, I'm 5'7, 13 years old, and 125 pounds, I'm stronger than most of the kids in my age group (13-14). I was wondering if this bat, the Demarini Vexxum, or the EXOGRID 2 would be the best fit for me? Thanks.
Asked by WalkingonBoulevard on Mar 28, 2012
This depends on what kind of hitter you are. if you are more of a contact hitter, I would suggest going with a two piece bat like the S2 or the Vexxum. These two bats are very similar and will perform just about the same. However, if you are more of a power hitter, I would go with a one piece bat like the EXOGRID 2.
· Mar 28, 2012
How long does this bat take to break in? What is the best way to do this?
Asked by Zack on Mar 18, 2012
This bat has an alloy barrel and does not require a break in. Only composite barrel bats will require a break in. This bat will be hot right out of the wrapper when you receive it!
· Mar 18, 2012
I am 6'1" 145 lbs, I'm a contact hitter. Would i be better off with the S2 or XL2? Also, how much longer and weight does the XL Series have on the barrel for a 33" 30oz.?
Asked by Zack on Mar 16, 2012
If you are a contact hitter, I would lean toward the S2 as it will have a lighter swing weight. I would say the XL will feel about .5 ounces heaver towards the end of the barrel
· Mar 16, 2012
This bat is a half and half with the handle being composite. Is the handle considered the entire first piece of the bat that is not the barrel? How does a composite handle affect performance?
Asked by Jason on Feb 29, 2012
The composite handle is he first piece. The composite handle provides more flex than a one piece alloy bat.
· Feb 29, 2012
I liked the weight of the stealth and at 5 feet 8 inches and 160 lbs I'm thinking the S1 or S2 might be best. I also like the two piece bat better. What do you recommend?
Asked by Marcus on Feb 28, 2012
Both are great bats. If you liked the Stealth, the S1 may be a little more comparable.
· Feb 28, 2012
What is the big difference between the S1 and S2, other than price?
Asked by Steve on Feb 27, 2012
The S1 is a two-piece bat that is all composite. The S2 is a two-piece bat with an alloy barrel and composite handle.
· Feb 27, 2012

Asked by Matt on Jan 30, 2012
I would recommend the S2, it will help you increase swing speed. The S2 is going to be a two-piece bat with a composite handle. The S3 is going to be a one-piece all aluminum alloy.
· Jan 30, 2012
which one you think is better or you recommend betwen s2 and s3?
Asked by rico on Jan 26, 2012
Both these bats are going to have an aluminum alloy barrel. The S2 is going to be a two-piece model, this will give the bat more of a flex to it when it is being swung. The S3 is going to have more of a stiff feel, because it is a one-piece bat
· Jan 26, 2012
not so much for this bat but is this a big barrel and are most bbcor bats big barrels or no?
Asked by tflo14 on Jan 25, 2012
Yes, this is a big barrel. The barrel diameter will be 2 5/8".
· Jan 25, 2012
How would u compare this bat to the easton BNC2 Omen BBCOR?
Asked by Chris on Jan 24, 2012
The Omen is last years top of the line bat made by Easton. It would be a two piece composite. The S2 is going to be the replacement for the Surge, which will feature a composite handle and alloy barrel.
· Jan 24, 2012
The BNC2 is a Two-Piece Full composite bat. The BB11S2 is going to be a Two-Piece bat with a composite handle and aluminum alloy barrel. Composite bats are going to out perform alloy bats the more and more they are used.
· Jan 24, 2012
im a sort of a contact hitter is this one or the s3 better for me?
Asked by chilidog15 on Jan 10, 2012
The S2 is a two-piece bat that will offer more flex than the S3. This means it is probably better suited for contact hitters.
· Jan 10, 2012
What is the main difference between the s2 and s3?
Asked by EHS21 on Jan 08, 2012
The S2 is a two piece bat with a composite handle and alloy barrel. The S3 is a one piece all alloy bat.
· Jan 09, 2012
what is the temperature limits of this bat....how cold can it be without the bat being damaged when hitting?
Asked by cold weather on Jan 03, 2012
Most manufacturer's recommend you limit the bat's use when it is below 55 or 60 degrees out. This doesn't mean that the bat will become damaged if it's 54 degrees, it is just that the likely hood of that happening is higher. I would just be careful when it's that cold and try not to use it as much.

Generally speaking, power hitters usually prefer 1 piece bats. These are all 2 piece bats.

My son is 14 5' 11" and 175 lbs he is a gap hitter. What do you think is best for him?
Asked by GrimeDawg on Dec 26, 2011

Asked by ron on Dec 17, 2011
Yes, the S3 would be a good model to go with, it is not very comparable to the BST10 because it is going to have an alloy barrel and the BST10 is a full composite bat
· Dec 17, 2011
Why does this bat not have a ping sound when made contact with the ball on the sweetspot?
Asked by joe on Dec 17, 2011
Because the barrel is alloy. Alloy makes a more ping sound, where composite has a more dull thump sound.

is this bat a good bat for swinging to the fence with. i have a 2010 surge that i hit the fence with all the time going anywhere from 300 to 330 being 13 years old and all the reviews are great saying for power hitters but i want to be sure before i decide
Asked by b-ron on Nov 13, 2011
The S2 was developed towards the speed type hitters, to help transfer that speed into power. The XL2 series was designed for the power hitters to generate more speed, equaling more distance. So it depends what kind of hitter you are now. If your a power hitter I would look at the XL2, and if your a speed placement hitter I would look at the S2.
· Nov 13, 2011
Which would be better for a person who mostly hits double but tends to have lots of power the S2 or XL2?

Which of the power brigade bats would u recommend for a player who is a line drive hitter and tends to hit into the gaps
Asked by jchapmanMB on Oct 22, 2011
I think the Speed series would be a better fit for a contact/doubles type of hitter.
· Oct 23, 2011
when you get a hit with the s2, or s3, will you feel the contact, or will it be more of a nonexistent hit?
Asked by nater on Oct 19, 2011
Both bats have great balance and feel. I've hit with both and can say that even though I felt it in my hands, making contact felt a lot softer compared to most BBCOR bats. They definitely swing great.
· Oct 20, 2011
What has more "pop," the Easton S2 or the Marucci Cat5 squared?
Asked by Joe on Oct 14, 2011
These are both going to have great pop. It will come down to preference on what type of bat you want. The S2 is a two piece bat and the Cat 5 is all alloy. Both are lightweight and balanced.
· Oct 17, 2011
For someone who is more of a contact hitter than a power hitter, would the S2 or the XL2 be a better choice.
Asked by Jonny on Oct 14, 2011
The S2 is going to having a light swing weight and be a very balanced bat. The XL2 will have a slightly larger sweet spot with a slight endloaded feel to it. I would recommend the S2 for you.
· Oct 17, 2011
S series vs XL series and what would you recommend for power hitters?
Asked by diesel on Oct 13, 2011
The XL series is more endloaded and would be suited best for power hitters.
· Oct 14, 2011
Since both the S2 and Easton Omen are both BBCOR, will the Omen have more Pop, since it is a full composite bat rather than the composite/alloy that the S2 is?
Asked by Grub on Oct 13, 2011
The Omen and S1 are going to have a little more pop to them since they are all composite. Both the S1 and S2 are going to have excellent bat speed.
· Oct 13, 2011
My son is 9th grade. 5'4" 130 pounds contact hitter with great bat speed. Which bat would be the fit.
Asked by Bill f on Oct 12, 2011
The S2 would be the best for a contact hitter.
· Oct 12, 2011
which bat would you reccomend S2, vector, omen, and the xl2. i have been more of a contact hitter but i need a bat with a lot of pop. i have enough strength to hit shots
Asked by smitty on Oct 11, 2011
I will be honest with you, each one of those bats offers something different. But for what you described, the BB112S sounds like a good fit.
· Oct 11, 2011
i'm thinking that the s2 is more like the old easton stealth than the xl2 is, am i correct?
Asked by smitty on Oct 11, 2011
It is more like the Stealth Speed line, yes.
· Oct 11, 2011
Which bat in the new easton series would be most like the tpx H2?
Asked by Rick on Oct 09, 2011
The S2 would be the most similar. Both have a high quality alloy barrel and a stiff flex composite handle.
· Oct 09, 2011
I will occasionally get a home run or an extra base hit but mostly singles what bat should i get the s2, s3, xl3, or the xl2.
Asked by mirage770 on Oct 08, 2011
I would go with the S2 or S3 if you are mostly a line drive hitter.
· Oct 09, 2011
For a 13 yr old would a 32 in s2 or a s3 fit
Asked by King13 on Oct 07, 2011
13 year old's don't normally swig -3 bats. If they are required to have a -3 BBCOR bat then I would get the smallest size in the S2.
· Oct 08, 2011
Is this S2 stiff handle? Or does easton have two like they did for the old stealth series?
Asked by Hardball on Oct 05, 2011
The S2 us a two piece bat so it is going to have more flex than the S3 which is a one piece alloy bat.
· Oct 06, 2011
Generally 2 piece bats, with composite handles and alloy barrels have a little more flex to them. Just as 1 piece bats are usually stiffer.
· Oct 06, 2011
Because this bat has a lighter swing weight, does that mean the barrel is smaller than usual? About how long is the barrel?
Asked by Brooks on Oct 05, 2011
The barrel isn't really shorter, it's where the weight is distributed that makes it swing lighter. The XL line is an extended barrel meaning the weight is down farther on the barrel, which makes it feel a little heavier.
· Oct 06, 2011
I have been on line researching your you new line of bats for my son.he is 5'10 and weihs 155lb. He is not a power hitter so I believe the BB11S2 would be a correct fit for him , correct me if I am wrong. Thanks David.
Asked by Dave on Oct 04, 2011
Yes, the Easton S2 BB11S2 would be a nice fit for your son.
· Oct 04, 2011
Last season my 15 year old son used an Easton Stealth BCN9 bat. Which of the new Easton's would be the most similar?
Asked by Mils on Oct 04, 2011
This one would be pretty similar to the bcn9.
· Oct 04, 2011
I am a hitter that is known for both my deep shots, but i mostly hit balls in the gap. is this or the xl2 a better bat for me?
Asked by Taylor w on Oct 02, 2011
This will really depend on if you want an end loaded bat or a balanced bat. The S2 is lighter and more balanced giving you faster swing speed. The XL2 is going to be end loaded, normally used for power hitters.
· Oct 03, 2011
Does this Easton BBCOR S2 have any "ping" when you hit the ball?
Asked by Joe on Oct 02, 2011
Yes, this bat will still have the ping sound when it is hit with

· Sep 22, 2011
Do you know if select leagues such as USSSA or requiring BBCOR Bats? Also, what about middle schools in Tennessee?
Asked by Rusty on Sep 20, 2011
BBCOR bats are currently only for high school or college. It's always a good idea to check with a coach or league offical for bat rules.
· Sep 20, 2011
Which is correct? One piece is for power hitters and two piece is contact hitters, or the other way around?
Asked by Cody C on Sep 19, 2011
My mistake we have had some confusion. One piece bats are more for power hitters, two piece bats are for contact hitters because they have more flex.
· Sep 20, 2011
If i have a quick and powerful swing is this the bat for me???
Asked by Chris on Sep 19, 2011
Very much so! This bat is designed for this type of swing. Easton's theory with this bat is SPEED = POWER
· Sep 20, 2011
Will the s2 be a good baseball bat for me if i am a power hitter or would it be one of the bats from the xl series?
Asked by Big Al on Sep 19, 2011
Both bats are designed for added power. The XL is designed for more of a power hitter due to the massive barrel.
· Sep 20, 2011
So does Easton have a 2 piece, non-stiff BBCOR bat for contact hitters?
Asked by cody on Sep 18, 2011
Yes the s3 or any of the 1 piece baseball bats
· Sep 19, 2011
if im a power hitter with a quick swing am i looking at the s2 or xl2 ? and whats the difference between the xl2/s2 as opposed to the xl1/s1 ?
Asked by Skim on Sep 17, 2011
XL1 is a youth bat for Little League play, XL2 is an adult bat used in high school and college play. Same with the S1 and S2. The 1 is a 2 1/4" barrel for youth leagues. the 2 is the 2 5/8" barrel for high school and college play. The XL2 has an extra long barrel design for massive sweet spot and expanded hitting zone. The S2 is a speed design which gives the player faster swing speeds for increased power.
· Sep 19, 2011
My son is a 8th grader 5' 90 lbs. he needs a 31" bat,and needs a -3,what do you think would he benefit from.
Asked by jimmy on Sep 16, 2011
At his size, if he is a contact hitter, he maybe best suited in a two piece bat that has some flex to it. This will allow the bat to have some flex as he is coming through the zone and create more power for him.
· Sep 16, 2011
I'm a little confused, Mark, the expert, answered a question about flex. He said the S2 is a stiff flex and should be used by power hitters and a 2 piece bat should be used by contact hitters. The S2 is a 2 piece bat so what kind of hitter should use it????
Asked by rikenist on Sep 16, 2011
I'm sorry about that. I should have mentioned that normally a 2 piece is best for contact hitters because there is some flex to the bat. I was told by our product management team that the S2's handle is very similar to the older Surge's handle, which is a stiff flex handle. Stiff flex handle's perform very similar to one piece bats because there is very little flex. Both one piece bats and two piece bats with stiff handle's are good for power hitters.
· Sep 16, 2011
for a power hitter which is better this or the s3. and what is the difference between the xl2 and s2
Asked by sarge14 on Sep 15, 2011
The S2 is a two piece design which is for power hitters, the S3 is a one piece for contact hitters. The XL2 has a longer barrel and the S2 has a lower M.O.I. which means faster swing speeds.
· Sep 15, 2011
So for the contact hitter what Easton BBCOR bat are you recommending? I have a quick swing, but I'm not very big.
Asked by JM on Sep 15, 2011
For contact hitter the S3 will be a better option. The S3 is a one piece design which is for contact hitters, two piece bats are more for power hitters
· Sep 15, 2011
this bat compared to the cat 5 and Anderson ignnite. which is best?
Asked by sarge14 on Sep 14, 2011
This is going to be one of the hottest bats on the market. This bat is going to be the bat that replaces the BBCOR Omen. The BB11S2 will have some of the best pop out of all the BBCOR bats on the market.
· Sep 15, 2011
i have a short but hard swing not so much speed though, which of the 6 power brigade bats should i get ??
Asked by beast at 3rd on Sep 13, 2011
Personally with a short swing a bat can't correct that, but since you said you have quick bat speed, I would get the S2 Bat
· Sep 15, 2011
Why does this bat come in only 33 and 34 in.?
Asked by Todd on Sep 13, 2011
As of 9/13 we only have those sizes in stock. When we get more in stock there will be options for those.

The S2 is a very high quality bbcor just release by Easton. It uses th THT100 Alloy in its two piece design. We can only ship to locations inside the US.
· Sep 07, 2011
Are these bats regular flex or stiff flex ? If there is a choice what are the major reasons to pick stiff or regular? Thanks, Swing Hard.
Asked by Ross F on Sep 07, 2011
The S2 is a stiff flex handel. If you have a very quick swing speed and are a power hitter you will want to have a bat with a stiffer handel. On the other hand if you have a slower swing speed and are more of contact hitter, a two piece bat with more of a regular flex handel will suite you better.
