Review Summary
based on 78 ratings. 78 user reviews.
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!

Review This Batby LGinds14CHS - Sep 21, 2011
Pros: Great grip. Simple but cool bat graphic. Not top heavy at all, which makes it better for contact hitters like me. Get this bat, cheaper and gonna be a better bbcor
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 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....
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 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

Cons: none
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.

Pros: Only had this bat for about 2 weeks. I was swinging the 2012 Rip-it , but it is still just a bit heavy/end loaded for me to swing well .This bat is better balanced and has some really good pop for it right out of the wrapper . Cant wait till it has loosened up some . For how long I have had this , I have no complaints and would definitely recommend it .
Cons: None that I can find so far .

by Cajun Lady - Mar 20, 2012
Pros: My son is on a 11 year old traveling team. Out of all bats we have bought, we fine this is the best one for him.Great grip, wonderful hitting off of it
Cons: We have had it 1 month and played 2 tournaments and already has a dent in it. Not happy because they are out of stock on it until end of June. Size 29-19 Very upset
by Hrmachine - May 31, 2012
Pros: Good and simple design. Good pop out of the wrapper. Big sweet spot.
Cons: Grip is much too thick at the bottom, but can easily be regripped. Bat slowly loses pop as you continue to use it. Much more top heavy than I expected especially since Easton claims it is lightweight and for contact hitters.
by swarm - Jul 23, 2012

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

Pros: good pope and nice design
Cons: none
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 JD - Jun 26, 2012
Pros: Balanced
Cons: Very easy to pop fly and hard to line drive solid base hits
by defenders8 - Nov 16, 2011

How would Easton's Power Brigade Speed and XL Series compare to Rawling's line of bats? I'm trying to find the best one-piece bat I can get my hands on.
Asked by Boone on May 16, 2013
The Easton S3 BBCOR: BB11S3 Adult is a one-piece alloy that is very balanced.

The Easton S3 BBCOR: BB11S3 Adult is a one-piece fully alloy bat, as is the S4. The S1 is a two-piece fully composite and the S2 is a two-piece with an alloy barrel and composite handle. The S4 is made from a lower grade alloy than what is used in the S2 and S3.

I'm 15, 5'11", 150 pounds, and get the occasional home run. Would this be a good bat for a hitter like me or should I choose something else? What weight should I get?
Asked by Chase on Mar 09, 2013
The Easton S3 BBCOR: BB11S3 Adult will be great for a contact hitter who occasionally hits home runs. The balanced feel of the bat will feel light, but it also has the stiff one-piece feel that you will be able to hit for power with.
· Mar 09, 2013
My son is 13, 125 lbs and 5'7''. I have always bought him the longest bat he could handle with the biggest drop. I bought him the 2012 Voodoo, but would this be a better bat for him because it is balanced?
Asked by crazymom on Mar 09, 2013
It depends on what type of hitter your son is. The Easton S3 BBCOR: BB11S3 Adult is more balanced, which is preferred by many contact hitters. The 2012 DeMarini Voodoo is slightly end loaded, which is preferred by many power hitters.
· Mar 09, 2013
My 11 year old plays select ball. He is 4'8" and 78 lbs. He is small for his age. He has been a singles and doubles hitter but is now developing more power. He bats with the Easton S3, 28"-10. Would you recommend he stay with that or would a kid that size benefit from a composite bat like an Easton S1?
Asked by TX on Mar 08, 2013
It looks like the suggested bat length for him would be a 29". The 2013 Easton S1: SL13S110 Senior League, and 2013 Easton S3: SL13S310 Senior League both come in a 29" 19 oz. The S1 would provide you a higher performance for a longer period of time. The S3 will not require a break-in period and be ready right out of the wrapper. Both would be great for the age and size of your player.

Which bat should I get: XL3 or S3 BBCOR? I am a freshman in high school, 5' 8", 135 pounds, and strong for my weight. I can generate a lot of bat speed by myself and can hit for power despite my speed and size. I just bought a 33' 30 oz XL3 (the new model) and my dad says that he thinks that it might be a little long. I have not taken it out of the wrapper so I can return it. Should I return it because even though I have good bat speed, the good pitchers in my league can reach 80 mph. I am looking for an aluminum bat because of the feel but if you think I shouldn't get an aluminum bat please say why.
Asked by PatrickMcDonough on Feb 16, 2013
If pitchers in your league are throwing in the 80's it may be a good choice to stick with the Easton S3 because of its balanced swing weight will help you generate bat speed. It sounds like the XL3 would be a good bat for you, but it is end loaded and could cause your swing to slow down and cause you to be behind the faster pitchers. I would train for one more year with a wood bat and use the Easton S3 in games for now.

Asked by ctbjet27 on May 20, 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?

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 11, 2012

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Is this bat ok to use in 13 youth baseball and is it ok for high school baseball?
Asked by c rad on Dec 02, 2011
Yes, the Easton S3 is BBCOR certified, so it is legal for play at almost every level that allows big barrel bats. The certification for high school and collegiate baseball is the BBCOR certification.

What's the difference between the S2 and S3?
Asked by nick on Nov 27, 2011
The Easton S2 is a two-piece construction with the handle constructed out of composite material and the barrel being alloy. The Easton S3 is a one-piece full aluminum construction.
· Nov 27, 2011
The Easton S2 is a two-piece hybrid design and the Easton S3 is a one-piece all alloy design.

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.

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

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
I would recommend the Easton XL series which are slightly end loaded but they have a longer barrel than the S series. These are great for power hitters.
· Oct 26, 2011
What is the difference between the S3 and the S2 Easton BBCOR bats?
Asked by Will on Oct 23, 2011
The Easton S3 is a one-piece aluminum bat and the Easton S2 is a two-piece hybrid design, meaning that it has an aluminum barrel and a composite handle.
· Oct 24, 2011
Would you recommend this bat for a power hitter? This is my first year of high school ball and I'm looking for a BBCOR bat with great POP. What would be your suggestion? This Easton or another?
Asked by bigfoot on Oct 23, 2011
The Easton S3 is a great bat for a power hitter. If you want a slightly end loaded bat, the Easton XL3 would be an excellent choice as well. More information on the Easton XL3 may be found at http://www.justbats.com/product/easton-xl3-bbcor--bb11x3-adult/14434/
· Oct 24, 2011
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
