Review Summary
based on 39 ratings. 39 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!

Cons: chips easy at barrel, but it won't change the pop
by Crash - Sep 24, 2011
Pros: We had bat reps come out to our practice and let us hit with several top bats. I hit the ball farther and harder with this bat than any of the others. I have used it in five games and I am definitely hitting ball harder. Good bat!
Cons: Have not used the bat long enough to find any cons yet.
by GOKNIGHTS - Oct 03, 2011
Pros: Had to get a new bat for high school. I am a smaller player and the balance on this bat is perfect. I feel better with my balance than I did with my Stealth composite bat that I used in Pony. The grip looks cool, but it felt slippery after using it in my first batting practice. I put a black tape grip on it and now everyone on my team wants to get this bat. Love it!
Cons: the original grip but that isn't why I bought the bat.
by j - Jan 18, 2012
Pros: This bat is completely awesome! The graphics are really good.The bat is really light and good for people with a strong swing!I would recommend this bat to anyone. Probably the best BB Core bat.Really good sweet spot. Not top Heavy at all. The grip is really good and does't slide out of your hands.
Cons: NONE AT ALL!!!
by sunshine - Jan 08, 2012
Pros: very good balance. Can't believe how light it felt. For a ninth grader being forced into swing a drop 3 this is the bat you will need to have the best bat speed.
Cons: nothing
by RobbyS - Feb 07, 2012
Pros: Bought this bat for my 12 y/o son who is going to play middle school ball that requires BBCOR certified bats and he loves this bat! He can swing this bat like a beast due to the even weight distribution!! He has tried the Easton XL2 and loves this bat so much better!!! Paint is holding up great too!!! He loves the colors!!
Cons: NONE....

Pros: amazing grip. Great feel. Love the sound you here when you hit it absolutely perfect. Great Pop!!!
Cons: none
by RR 75 - Mar 05, 2012
Pros: Very well balanced bat. Son tried several bats prior to purchasing this bat looking for good balance and a favorable swing weight. Weight distribution on this bat was most favorable to helping him reach his bat speed potential. Good pop but I think this has to do with the fact that his bat speed is maximized with this bat.
Cons: None so far
by hogaboom - Mar 06, 2012

by shr3ddagnar - Apr 28, 2012
Pros: Great bat all together. But i would have spent the extra money to get the S1. S1 has the trampoline effect, that really helped my game. S3 just doesn't have the same pros as the S1. Great bat though.

Cons:
by The Coach - May 09, 2012
Pros: Nice grip and balance.
Cons: At the beginning of the season, my son and several of his teammates were excited to use the new S3. However, after about two weeks they realized that this bat has little or no pop. Nobody uses it anymore, which is tremendously frustrating. I recently purchased another bat (ugh!) from a different manufacturer and my son is now driving the ball all over the field.
by Will - May 15, 2012
Pros: Great grip, looks awesome. Not top heavy what so ever, and crazy balanced. Cheaper than most top of the line bats but performs just as well

Cons: none
by Tampa Slugger - Jan 06, 2012
Pros: I have just tried this bat too. It is an excellent BBCOR bat. Very well balanced. I still like the XL3 better, but this on is great also. Why spend $100 to $200 dollars more for a BBCOR bat when either of these two will do just fine.
Cons: None yet
by defenders8 - Nov 16, 2011

Ask QuestionMy 13 year old son is shopping for a bat for Babe Ruth. He is about 5' tall and weighs about 100 and is a lead off hitter and hits line drives. Is this Easton S3 BBCOR bat right for him and would you recommend a 32/29? Thanks!
Asked by CZboys on May 10, 2012
Based on your son's height and weight, the recommended size for him is about a 29"-30" bat. The Easton S3 is legal for Babe Ruth play and would be a great bat for your son!

I was considerng buying an Easton Surge but the lowest length I could find was 31". I'm 5'4" and about 117 lbs and I was looking at this and it comes in 29". But I have a 31" Rival, what should I do?
Asked by SEAHAWK$WAGG on May 05, 2012

The Easton S3 BBCOR took the place of the discontinued Easton Rival and there is not a big difference design wise.

I'm 15 and I'm 5'1" and 98 pounds and in high school. What is the best weight and length I should use? I was thinking 31ich 28oz or 32inch 29oz. but I'm not even close to done growing yet, so I don't want to spend money and then out grow the bat, so I was going more toward 32" 29oz.
Asked by Rezsty on Mar 13, 2012
Based on your height and weight, the recommended size for you is about 29 inches. If you are worried about outgrowing the bat, I would probably go with a 30 or 31 inch bat. A 32 inch might be too big for you. If you need any further help in trying to select the right size for yourself, 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!
· Mar 13, 2012
Is this bat good for a contact, line drive hitter?
Asked by rezsty on Mar 13, 2012
Yes. The Easton S3 BBCOR bat has a light swing weight making it a good choice for contact hitters, but also provides the stiffness and one-piece construction making it an option for power hitters as well.
· Mar 13, 2012
Will this bat comply with the new regulations for several years or is it expected to change again soon?
Asked by Jake on Mar 09, 2012
The Easton S3 BBCOR bat is BBCOR certified and will be legal this year and to the best of our knowledge for at least a few more years to come. As of date, we haven't heard of any major rule changes at the NCAA and high school level.
· Mar 09, 2012
My sons league requires bats that are all aluminum/alloy barrel and all composite handle only aluminum/alloy barrels. Only composite barrel bats certified and marked BBCOR .50 are allowed. Does this bat meet the requirements? Also, if you can let me know, what others will meet this criteria? Thanks

This bat does meet those requirements. The Easton S3 is an all alloy bat and BBCOR certified. All BBCOR bats will be -3 Adult bats and either be all composite, all alloy or half and half. Please give us a call at 866-321-2287 and we can help show you more options.
· Mar 09, 2012
What is the diffrence between the S1, the S2, and the S3? If I have a more powerful swing should I use this bat or the Easton XL2?
Asked by Big BArrell Boy on Feb 22, 2012
The Easton S1 is two-piece all composite bat. The Easton S2 is a two-piece bat with an alloy barrel and composite handle. The Easton S3 is a one-piece bat that's all alloy. Strong players with good swing speed may benefit from the XL Series as it has a little longer barrel but will have a heavier swing weight than the S Series.
· Feb 22, 2012
Is this bat made for contact hitters?
Asked by Ant on Feb 21, 2012
This is a one-piece bat, which is usually preferred by power hitters. Contact hitters can definitely use it too if they have a quick bat speed. Most contact hitters prefer two-piece bats because they aren't going to be as stiff and the two-piece design offers a little bit of flex, which helps create a whipping action with their swing.
· Feb 21, 2012
The Easton S3 has a lower MOI which equals a lighter swing weight, making it a good choice for contact hitters looking to increase bat speed.
· Feb 21, 2012
How much of a difference in the S3 then the Reflex BX81? Son is 13 and needs a new bat, likes both. 100 dollars more for S3 is it worth it?
Asked by seasonal on Feb 20, 2012
Based on customer feedback and personal experience, I would say the Easton S3 is a better performing bat. However, the Reflex still performs good and has excellent durability. In my opinion, it's worth it but comes down to personal preference on what you want to spend.
· Feb 21, 2012
What is the difference between the S1 abd S3?
Asked by Alec96 on Feb 20, 2012
The S1 is a two-piece bat with a composite barrel and composite handle. The Easton S3 is a one-piece bat that is all alloy. Both will have similar balance and feel, but I would give an edge to the S1 in terms of performance if you are a contact hitter. If you are a power hitter, I would say the S3 may be a better fit.
· Feb 20, 2012
Is there any difference in technology between this bat and the Easton Rival? If so, what are the differences?
Asked by cbreazey14 on Feb 20, 2012
The S3 will have a slightly lower MOI than the Rival. A lower MOI means the bat will have a lighter swing speed. Other than that, there aren't a ton of differences besides the most up to date research and development with the newer models.
· Feb 20, 2012
Should I get this or the DeMarini Voodoo BBCOR? Why?
Asked by Ram on Feb 20, 2012
Much of it comes down to your personal preference. The Easton S3 is a one-piece bat that won't offer as much flex as the two-piece Voodoo. If you are looking to increase your bat speed, the S3 may be a better option. The Voodoo will offer a little more whipping action through the zone due to it's two-piece design and may help put a little more pop behind your hits. With that being said, the Voodoo and the S3 are both great bats.
· Feb 20, 2012
Im confused, sometimes you say the Easton S3 is for contact hitters but sometimes you say it is for power hitters? Which one is it? I am a contact hitter so which bat would be best for me out of all bats?
Asked by Quipmejia on Feb 19, 2012
The Easton S3 is a one-piece bat. With that being said, more power hitters prefer a one-piece bat because it is going to be pretty stiff and that stiffness helps generate more power. More contact hitters prefer two-piece bats because they offer more flex than a one-piece, which helps their swing by providing a whipping action. If you are looking for a good bat for a contact hitter in Easton's Speed series, I would suggest checking out the S2 or S1.
· Feb 19, 2012
Is this bat legal for the 2012 high school baseball year?
Asked by lk25 on Feb 18, 2012
The Easton S3 BBCOR is legal for high school play for the 2012 season as it is BBCOR certified.
· Feb 19, 2012
I'm 5' 7" 130 lbs...I am more of a line drive and contact hitter than a power hitter. Would the S3 be a good bat to use?
Asked by Superman on Feb 17, 2012
Contact hitters usually prefer a two-piece bat like the Easton S1 or Easton S2 because they have more flex. The Easton S3 is a great bat and can be used by a contact hitter, however, it is a one-piece design, which is typically preferred more by power hitters. The Easton S3 still has a well balanced swing weight, which is beneficial to many contact hitters.
· Feb 17, 2012
Is this USSSA certified?
Asked by fondo on Feb 16, 2012
The Easton S3 BBCOR: BB11S3 Adult bat is not USSSA certified. Instead, it is BBCOR certified, which makes it legal for high school and collegiate play. The BBCOR certification is the strongest certification there is and because of this, BBCOR bats are legal for play in USSSA sanctioned events. The models that are specifically USSSA certified are the YB11S3, SL11S310, or SL11S310B models by Easton.
· Feb 16, 2012
What is the difference between this bat and the XL3? Which one would feel lighter and more balanced?
Asked by Sam on Feb 11, 2012
The Easton XL3 is going to have a slightly larger barrel but have a more end loaded feel. The Easton S3 is designed more for your contact hitters who prefer the balanced swing weight.
· Feb 11, 2012
My son is 14 years old 5 ft 11" and 135 lbs. Would the Easton S3 be a good bat? He has very fast bat speed and we had a problem with light bats. Is the S3 balanced or end loaded?
Asked by bassmaster on Feb 09, 2012
The Easton S3 is a very balanced bat. If your son already has great bat speed, I would recommend the Easton XL3 BBCOR: BB11X3 Adult, which is end loaded.
· Feb 10, 2012
is there a reason why the S3 is cheaper than the S2? I understand the S2 is half composite therefore it bends more at contact but is that really that big a deal? Should I get the S2 or S3?
Asked by austin on Feb 03, 2012
All alloy bats are the cheapest to manufacture, and therefore cheaper in price, but the Easton S3 is very high performing. If you are a power hitter, I would go with the S3 since it is stiffer. However, if you are a contact hitter, the S2 may be a better option.
· Feb 03, 2012
How does this bat compare to the others in it's series?
Asked by lk25 on Jan 30, 2012
The Easton S3 is a one-piece alloy design. The Easton S2 is a two-piece hybrid design and the Easton S1 is a two-piece fully composite design.
· Jan 30, 2012
Compare the balance and "lightness" of the S3 versus the Marucci Cat 5.
Asked by Dobie on Jan 30, 2012
The Easton S3 and the Marucci Cat 5 are very similar. Both models are designed to have a lighter swing weight and more stiffness as they will not flex as much as a two-piece bat during your swinging motion.
· Jan 30, 2012
Was told that the 29/26 version of this doesn't have the BBCOR stamp on it. Is this true?
Asked by jason on Jan 29, 2012
I have personally checked the 29/26 bat and it has the BBCOR stamp.
· Jan 30, 2012
Does the bat require breaking in?
Asked by ColPat on Jan 27, 2012
No, the Easton S3 is a one-piece alloy bat which will not require any break-in period. Bats that have barrels that are constructed of composite material require a break-in period.
· Jan 27, 2012
How does this bat compare to the S1 and S2?
Asked by Chris on Jan 27, 2012
The Easton S1 is a two-piece fully composite design.The Easton S2 is a two-piece hybrid design with a composite handle and aluminum barrel. The Easton S3 is a one-piece aluminum design.

How does this bat differ from Easton XL3 BBCOR: BB11X3 Adult? Which one would you recommend and which type of hitter is each of the two for?
Asked by logank87 on Jan 24, 2012
The Easton S3 has a more balanced weight to it and the Easton XL3 has a more end-loaded feel and a little longer barrel. The Easton S3 and the Easton XL3 are very comparable bats, it simply comes down to personal preference as to which bat you prefer to swing.

Is this bat a USSSA bat?
Asked by beau on Jan 22, 2012
No, this Easton S3 model is not a USSSA bat. It is certified for adult baseball with a BBCOR certification. This bat is legal for play in some USSSA senior leagues or tourneys that allow big barrel bats to be used. The Easton S3 SL11S310B and the Easton S3 SL11S310 Senior League bats are USSSA bats.

I need a BBCOR bat and I tried out my friends S2 and loved it, but it's out of my price range. What's the difference between the S2 and S3?
Asked by chase on Jan 22, 2012
The Easton S2 and the Easton S3 have the same barrel composition as they are both aluminum barrels. The Easton S3 is a one-piece aluminum design and the Easton S2 is a two-piece hybrid design.
· Jan 23, 2012
What is the difference between the S1, S2, and S3? Which one has the most pop?
Asked by dave on Jan 19, 2012
The Easton S1 is a two-piece all composite bat. The Easton S2 is a two-piece bat with a composite handle and alloy barrel. The Easton S3 is a one-piece all aluminum bat. They are all high performing bats. If you prefer a one-piece design, the S3 is the way to go. If you prefer a two-piece bat with an alloy barrel, the S2 will be your best option and if you prefer a two-piece design with a composite barrel, the S1 will be your best option.

My 13 year old son used a DeMarini Distance model DSR11 (31 inch -8) last summer with great success. He has a quick swing with strong line drives with occasional power (he batted 1st in lineup). I am looking for a BBCOR bat now for this summer. Looking at Eastons S or XL series or DeMarini Voodoo. Which would be the BBCOR equivalent (feel and build) to what he used to? TIA.
Asked by Don on Jan 15, 2012
The Distance is a one-piece all aluminum bat. The only BBCOR bat from Demarini that we have in stock that is like that is the Versus. However, of the bats that you mention, the S3 or Rival would be most similar to the Distance. The Voodoo is a two-piece bat that has a composite handle, and alumium barrel.
· Jan 16, 2012
Is the S3 like the Easton Surge?
Asked by Rooster on Jan 14, 2012
The Easton S3 is very similar to the Easton Rival. The Easton S3 is a one-piece aluminum bat that is very high performing and durable.
· Jan 15, 2012
What you reccomond this bat even if im a power hitter?
Asked by AA on Jan 10, 2012

How does this compare to the Marucci Cat 5 squared?
Asked by mjbaseball on Jan 06, 2012
The Marucci Cat 5 and the Easton S3 are going to be very good and have a lot of pop. They are both one-piece aluminum/alloy designs that have a balanced swing weight.
· Jan 07, 2012
If you could pick out of the Easton S3, the Marucci Cat 5, and the Rawlings 5150 BBCOR bat, which would you choose?
Asked by Justin on Jan 05, 2012
WOW. All three of those bats are great BBCOR bats. I'd put all three in a hat and draw one out. They are very solid bats and have great pop off the barrel. If you go with the Easton S3, the Marucci Cat 5, or the Rawlings 5150, you won't be disappointed with whatever bat you choose.
· Jan 05, 2012
I'm a freshmen in high school. I have some upper body strength and I was wondering which bat would be better the Easton S3, the Easton Surge, or the Easton XL3?
Asked by Sheep on Dec 28, 2011
The Easton S3 and the Easton XL3 are going to be newer models and have more up to date technology in the design of the bats. The S3 and the XL3 are both one-piece designs, which are typically preferred by many power hitters. The Easton Surge is a two-piece bat which are preferred by a lot of contact hitters.
· Dec 28, 2011
What's the difference between the S3, S2, or S1?
Asked by Josh on Dec 25, 2011
The Easton S1 is a two-piece bat with a composite barrel and composite handle. The Easton S2 is a two-piece bat with an alloy barrel and composite handle. The S3 is a one-piece bat that is all aluminum. All of the bats from the Easton S-Series are great high performing bats.
· Dec 27, 2011
Am getting kinda confused. People are saying different things. Which is for contact hitters one-piece or two-piece?
Asked by Jr on Dec 24, 2011
Two-piece bats are better suited for contact hitters. They create more flex through the zone and should give contact hitters or hitters with below average swing speed more pop. One-piece bats are typically better suited for power hitters as they provide more stiffness and not as much flex when swung.
· Dec 27, 2011
What is the difference between the Easton S3 BBCOR and the Easton XL3 BBCOR bats?
Asked by big bomber5 on Dec 18, 2011
The Easton S3 is part of the Speed series and is going to have a more balanced feel to it. The Easton XL3 is going to have a slightly longer barrel and has a slight end load feel to it. The S3 and the XL3 are both one-piece fully aluminum bats.

· Dec 13, 2011

The Easton S3 is going to be the replacement for the Rival, so it will be a one-piece all alloy.

While the Easton S1 is going to be the replacement for the Omen; it is going to be a two-piece fully composite design.

Did this bat take the place of the Rival?

· Dec 10, 2011
I'm an average hitter with some power and can make contact sometimes. Which its better for me, the S3 or the XL3?
Asked by KTH on Dec 03, 2011
The Easton S3 had a more balanced swing weight to it. The XL3 is going to have a slightly longer barrel, but also feels more end loaded. If you have great bat speed, the XL3 may not be a bad option, but if you have average bat speed, the S3 may be the better fit for you.
· Dec 03, 2011
Is this bat ok to use in 13 youth baseball and is it ok for high school baseball?

· Nov 27, 2011
Which Power Brigade would be best for a speedy leadoff hitter who hits for average?
Asked by hit on Nov 27, 2011
The Easton S-Series is the best option out of the S-Series versus the XL-Series. Most contact hitters prefer to use a two-piece model like the S1 or the S2 and most power hitters prefer to use a one-piece model like the Easton S3. The XL series is going to have a slightly longer barrel, but the bat feels slightly more end heavy.
· Nov 27, 2011
Do one-piece bats or two-piece bats generaly have more pop?
Asked by joe on Nov 24, 2011
The answer to that lies with what type of hitter the player is. Most power hitters prefer and one-piece bat and most contact hitters prefer a two-piece bat. Two-piece bats provide more flex, giving the bat more of a whipping action when the player swings the bat.
· Nov 25, 2011
How does this bat compare to the 2012 TPX Warrior?
Asked by win3 on Nov 22, 2011
The Easton S3 and the Louisville Slugger TPX Warrior are both one-piece alloy designs. The metal used in the Easton S3 is a little more durable than the alloy used in the Warrior. If you are looking for a Louisville Slugger alloy bat that is more comparable to the Easton S3, I would say the TPX Omaha is a closer comparison than the TPX Warrior.
· Nov 22, 2011
What is difference between the S3, XL3 and Rival with the THT 100, the Demarini M2M SC4 alloy and Reflex 7050 alloy. Is there a preference or performance difference with each of these materials?
Asked by MD on Nov 21, 2011
Every manufacturer has their patented alloy. The Easton S3 is designed more like the old Speed bat, with the low MOI for a faster bat speed. The Easton XL line is an extended barrel.
· Nov 21, 2011
What is the difference of the sound of the S3 compared to the S1 when you hit the ball?
Asked by Gene on Nov 19, 2011
The Easton S3 is an aluminum bat, so it is going to have a ping sound. The Easton S1 is a full composite bat, so it will have more of a thud sound coming off of the bat
· Nov 19, 2011
My son is a power hitter and from what I read should be using a 1 piece bat. For 2012, which is best? Easton? Rawlings? etc, and which model?
Asked by jeff on Nov 16, 2011
There are so many excellent one-piece BBCOR bats. This one, the Easton S3 is a good one, as is the Easton XL3. The Rawlings 5150 is another great one-piece alloy design. Louisville Slugger makes the TPX Omaha. There is also the Combat B3, Nike Aero, Marucci Cat 5, and many more. All would be great for a power hitter.
· Nov 16, 2011
I'm a power hitter but I think my bat speed is a part of my game. My past bat has been the Rival. Which bat do you think will best suit me, the S3 or the XL3?
Asked by Jay on Nov 12, 2011
If you are a power hitter, the Easton XL3 is going to be tailored more for you if you already have a great bat speed. If you have an average bat speed, but are a power hitter, I would say the S3 may be a good option. With the new design, these bats have been specifically manufactured for the power, and to integrate the speed with it as well.
· Nov 13, 2011
I have to find a bat for mt first year of high school ball and there are 2 bats that I am looking at. Easton S3 and Easton XL3. What would you suggest for a 5'9'' 210 power hitter?
Asked by bulldog on Nov 12, 2011
The XL3 would be more tailored to the power hitting type framed athlete if you have a quick bat speed. The Easton S3 can also be used by a power hitter with a slower bat speed. The S3 is more balanced than the XL3, but the XL3 has a slightly longer barrel.
· Nov 13, 2011
What is the difference between the S1 and S3 other than the price?
Asked by joey on Nov 11, 2011
If you check the features out you will see that the Easton S3 is a one-piece aluminum design and the Easton S1 is two-piece fully composite design. Composite bats and two-piece bats tend to be a little pricier as they have a high production cost.
· Nov 11, 2011
What's the difference in the Easton S3 and the XL3?
Asked by parker on Nov 09, 2011
The Easton XL3 has more of an end-loaded feel as the barrel is slight longer (better suited for stronger power hitters). The Easton S3 has a more balanced swing weight (better suited for contact hitters or power hitters looking to increase their swing speed).
· Nov 09, 2011
Will this bat perform the way the 2011 Easton Speed did?
Asked by bombdropper23456789 on Nov 07, 2011
The Easton S3 is designed to perform as close to the Speeds of the past as much as the BBCOR certification allows.
· Nov 07, 2011
Which bat out of the Speed Series and XL Series is not end heavy and has the most pop for a mostly contact hitter but can show a little pull power..I've seen where experts have said one-piece is for power hitters and some say one-piece is for contact, so im not sure what to go with. Thanks!
Asked by nick123 on Nov 06, 2011
The Speed Series will be evenly balanced and not end-loaded like the XL Series. The Easton S1 will be the highest performing and Easton's top of the line followed by the S2 and S3. The Easton S3 is a stiffer bat that stronger hitters often prefer.
· Nov 06, 2011
I'm a contact hitter and i'm looking at the S3 BBCOR and the XL3 alloy BBCOR. Which one should I go with?
Asked by baseball123 on Nov 06, 2011
The Easton S3 will be more evenly balanced. The Easton XL3 will be more end-loaded. Stronger power hitters would probably prefer the XL3. A contact hitter or power hitter with a slower bat speed would probably be better suited with the Easton S3.
· Nov 06, 2011
Should a contact hitter go with the S1, S2, or S3 baseball bat?
Asked by MCP on Nov 05, 2011
The Easton S1 or Easton S2 would be the better option for a contact hitter since they are both two-piece bats with more flex. The Easton S1 is a two-piece full composite design and the Easton S2 is a two-piece hybrid design.
· Nov 05, 2011
I am about 5'10", 170 pounds. I have some pull power at times and very fast hands.. Mostly a doubles and triples kinda guy though. Which one of these new Easton bats would fit me best?
Asked by whitey on Nov 05, 2011
I would look at the XL series, the S series is going to help the player increase bat speed where as the xl series is going to help the player generate more pop off of the bat. The Easton S-Series has more of a well-balanced swing weight and the Easton XL-Series has more of an end loaded feel.
· Nov 05, 2011
Is the Easton S3 a better bat than the 2 piece DeMarini Versus for a contact hitter?
Asked by cameron on Oct 30, 2011
The Demarini Versus is more for contact hitters as it is a two-piece design. The Easton S3 is better suited for power hitters. The Easton S2 is also a two-piece bat that would be great for contact hitters.
· Oct 31, 2011
What series would you recomend if you have both power and swing speed?
Asked by Cricket on Oct 25, 2011

What is the difference between the S3 and the S2 Easton BBCOR bats?

Which BBCOR bat on the market would be best for a power hitter?
Asked by Tedwards on Oct 20, 2011
The Easton S3 is perfect for a power hitter unless you want a slightly end loaded bat. In that case, the Easton XL3 is another great option.
· Oct 21, 2011
I am a 5'8" 130lb. junior. I have fast bat speed but am more of a contact hitter. Which Easton bat would be best for me?
Asked by Spence on Oct 11, 2011
The Easton S3 is more for power hitters because it is a one-piece design. The Easton S3 may still be used by contact hitters as it does have a well balanced weight. However, the Easton S1 and the Easton S2 are two-piece designs that may be better suited for contact hitters.
· Oct 12, 2011
Which Power Brigade bat would be best for a four hole hitter who wants to also have a quick swing speed?
Asked by HHH on Oct 06, 2011
The Easton S3 is one of the best options for a clean up hitter who still wants quick bat speed. The Easton S3 is a one-piece bat which is perfect for a power hitter, but the S3 is also very well balanced.
· Oct 07, 2011
I was wondering if the S3 is a better bat than the Cat 5?
Asked by Big B on Oct 05, 2011
The Easton S3 and the Marucci Cat 5 are very comparable bats as they are both balanced and one-piece alloy designs. The S3 and the Cat 5 are both high performing durable bats.
· Oct 05, 2011
I'm a 5-5 120 pound sophomore who's more of a defensive player who hits for contact. None of the pitchers in my league throw gas so should I go for this or the XL?
Asked by Hollister on Oct 03, 2011
The Easton S3 is going to be more of a well balanced bat, so you will probably be able to generate more bat speed with the Easton S3. The Easton XL3 is going to have a slight end loaded feel, but also has a slightly longer barrel. The S3 will probably be a better fit for a contact hitter over the XL3. The XL1 and XL2 may be another option to look into.
· Oct 04, 2011
I'm 6'1" 190lbs, and am currently swinging the Marucci Cat 5. I like it alot, except for the handle. I'm a power hitter and have fast bat speed. Would the easton S3 or XL3 be a bettter choice? or should I wait for the new Marucci to come out?
Asked by bulldog4life on Oct 02, 2011
We do not have much information on the new Marucci bats, but the new Easton S3 and XL3 are very good options. The Easton S3 will help generate a quicker swing similar to the Marucci Cat 5. The Easton XL3 has a slight end loaded feel but has a slightly longer barrel than the Easton S3 and Marucci Cat 5.
· Oct 02, 2011
Does the end cap have occurrences of coming off if hit towards end of the bat? Also is this bat for contact or power hitters?
Asked by LGinds14CHS on Sep 21, 2011
We have not heard of many issues with the end cap coming off. A one-piece bat like the Easton S3 is designed more for power hitters. Two-piece bats like the Easton S1 and Easton S2 are more for contact hitters. If the end cap does happen to come off, it will be covered under twelve month manufacturer's warranty through Easton.
· Sep 22, 2011
How does the S3 compare to the S2?
Asked by tine on Sep 21, 2011
The Easton S3 is a one-piece bat and the Easton S2 is a two-piece bat. The one-piece bat is more for power hitters and the two-piece bat is more for contact hitters. One-piece bats have less flex than two-piece bats.
· Sep 22, 2011
Both bats are excellent bats. The Easton S3 is a one-piece aluminum bat while the Easton S2 is a two-piece bat with composite handle and an aluminum barrel. The S3 is designed for power hitters due to the one-piece design and the S2 is for contact hitters due to the two-piece design. A two-piece bat has more flex than a one-piece bat causing more of a whipping action when swung.
· Sep 22, 2011
Which bat would you reccomend, this one or the Rawlings BBCOR 5150?
Asked by aiden on Sep 17, 2011
I would actually recommend both. The Rawlings 5150 and the Easton S3 are both great BBCOR bats. They are very comparable in the fact that they are both one-piece alloy/aluminum bats.
· Sep 20, 2011
What BBCOR bat comes from the Easton Rival?
Asked by hounddog on Sep 17, 2011
If you're looking for the Easton Rival BBCOR bat, check out model number BG2. The Easton S3 is a replacement for the Easton Rival as they are both one-piece aluminum designs. We have some Easton Rivals left at http://www.justbats.com/product/easton-rival-bbcor--bg2-adult/13061/
· Sep 17, 2011
This is a one-piece bat correct?
Asked by Mitch on Sep 17, 2011
Yes, the Easton S3 is a one-piece aluminum design.
· Sep 20, 2011
Trying to decide between the S2 and the S3. Do both have regular flex handles? My son is mostly a contact hitter but does show some power at times.
Asked by soxers on Sep 17, 2011
The Easton S3 is a one-piece, all aluminum design. The Easton S2 is a two-piece bat with a composite handle and aluminum barrel. The Easton S2 will have a bit more flex to it making it beneficial for contact or gap hitter looking to add more pop. The S3 would be more beneficial for natural power hitters as it does not have a flex handle like most two-piece designs.
· Sep 19, 2011
This is a one-piece bat. Therefore, is this bat for a power hittter? But there is also the XL3, which is advertised for power hitters? So is Speed Series for contact hitters and XL series for power hitters and disregard if it's a two-piece or one-piece bat?
Asked by Easton fan on Sep 14, 2011
The Easton S3 is a one-piece bat, which is typically preferred more by power hitters. Because the S3 is so balanced, many contact hitters may use the S3 as well. The S1 and S2 will be better suited for a contact hitter. The XL series is the same way in the XL3 being more for a power hitter and the XL1 and XL2 being more of a contact hitters bat. However, the XL series has a slightly longer barrel leading to more of an end loaded feel.
· Sep 15, 2011
Should I get this bat or the 5150 BBCOR? I like this bats cool graphics...... I am more of a contact hitter.
Asked by Matt 15 on Sep 11, 2011
The Easton S3 is a one-piece aluminum design that has a very well balanced feel to it. If you like the graphics on the S3, then I would probably go with the S3. If you like the graphics on the Rawlings 5150 better, then I would say go with the 5150. They are very comparable bats.
· Sep 12, 2011

Which Power Brigade bat would be best for a contact hitter with some power? S series or XL series?
Asked by rikeni on Sep 10, 2011
If you are a contact hitter with some power, I would recommend either the S1, S2, or S3 from the Speed series. However, if you want to go with the XL series, I would suggest going with either the XL1 or XL2, but probably stay away from the XL3 as it is geared specifically towards a power hitter.
· Sep 10, 2011
Should contact hitters stick with one piece alloy bats or is a 2 piece bat a good option as well?
Asked by rikeni on Sep 07, 2011
Contact hitters typically prefer two-piece bats over one-piece designs as the two-piece construction provides more flex when swinging the bat. Power hitters typically prefer using one-piece designs.
· Sep 07, 2011
