Easton XL3: JBB11X3 Junior Big Barrel

by Bruggs - Jan 31, 2012

Pros: My son who's 5yo loves it, told me he'll be hitting a few dingers this year. We went to the cages as soon as we got it and he loved it. I can tell the ball is jumping off it and the balance seems to be good for him as he hit a lot of line drives. We had assessments this past weekend and all of the other coaches had to get their hands on it.

Cons: Non available.

by Eric - May 02, 2012

Pros: I coach a competitive Select 7U baseball team, and we have 5 of these bats on the team. Large sweet spot produces a very live hit ball with lots of "pop". Very balanced. I've seen pretty much every Junior Big Barrel bat out there, and you can't go wrong with this one.

Easton XL3: JBB11X3 Junior Big Barrel

by Brad - May 12, 2012

Pros: This is my sons first year of coach pitch. He just turned 7. He was consistently making good contact and hitting hard liners in the infield. I bought this bat in hopes it would give him enough pop to get through the infield or to the outfield. His first at bat with the new bat, he hit it in the air over 2nd base to the outfield, his furthest hit of the year. Most kids on the team now want to use his bat. I would recommend this bat.

Cons:

Pros: Huge amount of pop, i would compare this bat to the old blue and white speed but with only 40 balls hit with it I can see 2 dents on it already.My son has 4 eastons from the omen to the rival and this one outperforms them

Cons: dents, if your son is a power hitter go with the senior s3

Easton XL3: JBB11X3 Junior Big Barrel

by droby - Mar 03, 2012

Pros: This bat has great pop. I am very picky with the sound of the bat. If you like "ping" this isn't for you. This bat almost sounds like a wooden bat which I love. My son has always made good contact but never really drove the ball, now that he has this one he is driving the ball through the infield and hard line-drives.

Cons: The bat is white. Need I say more? It is going to mark easily. I have a bat sleeve on it right now so can't really tell.

Easton XL3: JBB11X3 Junior Big Barrel

by Tony - Mar 15, 2012

Pros: Biggest sweet spot I've seen in a bat of this size to date. We bought 3 of them for our 8 and under team and we now have 6 total. You could spend more, but I really don't see why you would for something smaller than 28/18. Much better than the composite bats we used last season.

Cons: Grip will wear out with extended use, but aftermarket wraps are far better anyways for only $10.

by AG's Mom - Apr 13, 2012

Pros: My son had used a bat similiar last season and neeeded to move up bat size. This was recommended and a friend has the same bat. The boys on the team all tend to gravite towards these bats and consistly have good at bats with them. The weight and size are helping them to get their natural swing movement memorized. We are looking forward to another WINNING season.

by Cameron - Apr 25, 2012

Pros: Great pop, bigger sweet spot that other big barrel bats. Took my small (45 lbs.)5 yr old a week to get used to the weight difference but hits 10-20 ft farther than lighter, small barrel bats.

Cons: Feels heavier than listed (we got 25in-15oz)

by GatorNutz - Dec 19, 2011

Pros: Amazing sweet spot size and performance. I took my son to batting cages and I threw him a bucket using his old bat, and a bucket with this bat (demo), and he was hitting laser line-drives with this Easton XL3. I am getting him this bat for xmas!

Cons: Doesn't dent like other similar bats, but it does discolor very quickly (white composite is dirt magnet). But who cares...it's baseball!

Ask Question

24967

Is the Junior bat legal for 9U and 10U USSSA tournaments or do you need to have a Senior league bat?

If you are playing in 9U and 10U tournaments, then a junior big barrel bat will not work for you. Junior big barrel bats are designed specifically for coach pitch leagues and will not last very long in kid pitch leagues. You will need to purchase a youth big barrel or senior league bat.

24231

Can this bat be used for machine pitch?

No, the Easton XL3: JBB11X3 Junior Big Barrel should be used for coach pitch only. The thin alloy walls would not hold up to balls at machine pitch speeds.

23850

Can this bat used in T-Ball?

Most leagues require a 2 1/4 inch T-Ball bat. We recommend checking with your local league official for specific rules and requirements.

22716

Do you guys have the bat in 30 inch?

Unfortunately, the Easton XL3 Youth JBB11X3 is not produced in a 30" model. The largest size we have available is a 28" in this JBB11X3.

19329

Your q/a answers go back and forth. Is the bat legal in kid pitch as well as coach pitch? I have an 8 year old in coach pitch but not sure if its good for him next year in kid pitch.

The Easton XL3 Junior Big Barrel JBB11X3 is for coach pitch only. The thin walls would not hold up in a kid pitch league.

18662

My son is six years old, 49-50 inches tall and 55 pounds. He plays coach pitch baseball and seems to be strong according to his older 8 year old brother who weighs 75 pounds and is 55 inches tall. What in your opinion would be a good size junior big barrel bat for him?

Based on your son's height and weight, I would suggest going with a 28 inch bat. If he is pretty strong, I think a -10 bat would work for him to use. Our bats do come with a free return label as well, so if you do get this size and it is too heavy for him and unused, you are more than welcome to send it back for a smaller size.

17540

Would you recommend this bat for my 6 year old son? He is turning 7 in November but is beginning coach pitch this spring. He is currently using a Easton Speed TST12 25 inches 12.5 oz. -12.5. Would this XL3 be a major jump in weight for him? Thanks

It's always a good idea to move up a little in weight every year. The 25 inch 15 ounce model of this bat shouldn't be too big of a jump in weight, but it'll definitely be noticeable for him. I would recommend finding a 15 ounce bat locally and having him take a few swings with it to see how it feels.

16779

Hi - I'm curious what ounce would you recommend for a 7 1/2 yr old, I like the reviews on this bat. My son is taller than average, and about 58lbs.

It's difficult to give a 100% accurate recommendation, but a 7 1/2 year old who weighs around 58 pounds would be best suited with a bat around 29 inches between 17 and 19 ounces.

16052

Which bat would you rate as having more pop. Easton XL3 or TPX Omaha Jr. Big Barrel?

These are both good Junior Big Barrel bats. The bats have very durable alloy barrels and will have large sweet spots. Either one of these will be good choices.

16010

I heard that in 2013 there must be a USSSA FINGER PRINT stamp. Does this bat already have the "finger print" stamp?

This Easton XL3 Junior Big Barrel bat will have the USSSA Finger Print stamp on the barrel making it good for use in 2012 and2013. You can view this stamp in our additional photos to the right of the large image.

15861

What are the differences between Junior league and Senior league big barrell bats?

Junior Big Barrel bats are designed for coach pitch play only because of the thinner walls. Senior League bats can be used in Coach Pitch all the way to Junior High.

15219

how does this bat compare to the miken rzr?

The JBB11Xl is a one piece bat that is constructed for coach pitch. The difference between bats that are designed for Coach Pitch and Kid Pitch is that the Junior Big Barrels will have thinner walls and won't be able to handle the higher velocity pitching. The SLRZ10 is constructed more for kid pitch but can be used in Coach Pitch.

15201

what about 10 year olds would this be a good bat and hold up for my boys

The Easton XL3 JBB11X3 is going to be more designed for coach pitch. For kid pitch I would recommend taking a look at the Easton S3 (SL11S310B ). The SL11S310B will have a 2 3/4" barrel just like this XL3 but will be more designed for kid pitch.

15050

Is this a Coach pitch bat ? What is the difference with Junior vs coach pitch? Looking for a 2 3/4 bat- 10 for 8U and can use for kid pitch next year. Thanks

This is more designed for coach pitch leagues due to the thinner walls. Junior Big Barrel and Coach pitch bats are very similar, but most leagues and tournaments will not allow bats to be stamped "coach pitch." The Easton XL3 is not stamped as "coach pitch" but is designed for it.

14954

My son is 9 and is playing in his first year of kid-pitch ball. Is this bat designed to hold up to this or is it only for coach-pitch?

No, this bat is designed specifically for coach pitch and shouldn't be used in kid pitch. If you are wanting similar then take a look at the Easton S3 (SL11S310B) model. The S3 is very similar to the XL3, the difference is that the S3 is designed for kid pitch.

14891

You said this bat is end loaded. How much does the end load weigh?

This will be less than an ounce difference in weight. The end loaded feel will add power to the hitter.

13905

How does the pop of this bat compare to the Cat 5, V12 and the Worth Lithium Edge?

These bats all are on an equal playing field when it comes to pop. Each one has their one aluminum alloy technoloy. I would put this at the top as one of our best sellers. The Easton XL3 is replacing the Easton V12 from last year.

13834

In your opinion, would this dent too easily in a 6yr old machine pitch (32mph) league with traditional hard baseballs? If so, what do you recommend?

This bat is made for 6-8 year old kids. This bat is more designed for coach pitch but this bat could work for that machine pitch league.

13472

What is the difference between the junior big barrels -10 and the big barrel -10

The senior league and youth models are manufactured to withstand higher velocity pitching.

13454

With the thinner wall will it dent if it is used with hard balls.

It is more likely to dent with hard ball. I would stick with the softer coach pitch balls to extend the durablity of the bat.

13016

Is this in loaded or a balance bat?

The Easton XL series will have a slight end loaded feel. This Easton XL3 model will have the slightest end load feel out of all the XL models.

12874

Can this bat be used in Little League or Cal Ripken Tball?

Cal Ripken only allows 2 1/4 inch barrels, so this would not be legal.

12776

What is the difference between this bat and the Easton V12? Does it have more pop, a bigger sweet spot?

The Easton XL3 is the replacement for the Easton V12. They will be very similar in performance, but the Easton XL3 is going to have an extended sweet spot compared to the Easton V12.

12506

My sons plays on a 9u trvel team kid pitch would this bat be ok to use in a 27 17 or is it only for coach pitch

It is designed for coach pitch, but you could probably use this in kid pitch leagues as long as the pitching is not terribly fast yet. This bat is made of a solid alloy and will give the players great pop off the barrel.

12268

Is this bat's weight true? One of the reviews on the V12 said it was a little heavier than stated on the bat.

The weight is accurate, it's how the weight is distributed that makes it feel heavier. The Easton XL3 is going to have a slight end loaded feel.

11755

Can this bat be used in 11U competition?

I would double check with the division of competitive ball you play. Some of the governing bodies do not allow the 2 3/4" barrel which this Easton XL3 does feature the 2 3/4" barrel.

11300

This bat is not legal to use in the Horse or Little leagues so why are you selling 2 3/4" bats? Do you know if there are some rules changes coming about?

This Easton XL3 is design for coach pitch leagues. Generally, coach pitch leagues do allow 2 3/4" barrels. This bat will feature the new USSSA BPF 1.15 stamp on the taper of the bat.

10243

Does this bat have the words coach pitch anywhere on it?

No, this is will not have "coach pitch" on the bat. It is listed as a junior big barrel but it is designed for coach pitch.

10211

Is this bat replacing the Easton V12?

The Easton XL3 is going to be Easton's replacement for the V12. The Easton XL3 wil have a slightly larger barrel and have a slight end loaded feel compared to the V12. But, both models will feature Easton's THT100 alloy and the 2 3/4" barrel.

10134

I know this bat is primarily designed for coach pitch but what is the construction difference between it & the S3. They both look very similar when you compare them.

The Easton XL3 will have thinner walls in the barrel comparaed to the Easton S3. The S3 because of the thicker walls will be able to withstand a higher velocity of pitches.

10093

I know it says the Easton XL3 Junior Barrel is for coach pitch but what is the construction difference between it & the Easton S3?

The Easton XL3 will have thinner walls in the barrel comparaed to the Easton S3. The S3 because of the thicker walls will be able to withstand a higher velocity of pitches.

10076

Can it be used in kid pitch at the 9u age group???

The Easton XL3 can be used in kid pitch as long as the league or tournaments allow 2 3/4" barrels. We would not recommend using this particular model in kid pitch though because it is designed for coach pitch play.

9893

Is this bat built for kid pitch or just coach pitch?

The Easton XL3 is designed for coach pitch play. It will have thinner walls that will not be able to withstand the higher velocity pitching in kid pitch.

9849

so this a coach pitch bat made with thinner walls not for use in kid pitch leagues

The Easton XL3 is designed for coach pitch play. It will have thinner walls that will not be able to withstand the higher velocity pitching in kid pitch.

9666

Will this bat be legal for 9u?

The Easton XL3 has a 2 3/4" barrel which some leagues may not allow. We would recommend double checking with a league official or a coach first. This bat is designed more for coach pitch because it will have thinner walls compared to a senior league model.

9490

Why is this not offered in a 26" 16 oz?

The Easton XL3 is available in a 26" 16 oz model. The sizes are available from 25"-28" in this JBB11X3 model. We will only show the sizes we have available.

9219

Is the Easton XL3 just for coach pitch or can it be used for 8u kid pitch league?

The Easton XL3 is designed for coach pitch. It will have thinner walls compared to Senior League models. If you try to use this XL3 model in kid pitch then you could run into some durability issues. Take a look at the Easton S3 (SL11S310B) because it is designed for kid pitch and it features the 2 3/4" barrel and Easton's same THT100 alloy.
