Thoughts on Easton bats

[ksgovols]

Eddie,

 

I work in a sporting goods store. That is a pretty good deal for that bat. I looked at the site you are looking at as well and it does come with a 400 day manufacturer warranty. So IMO you could feel pretty safe with that purchase. I hardly ever encourage JH parents to buy the $300-400 bats for their kids. IMO it is too big a bat for that age group anyway. I normally recommend to get something middle of the road until freshman year and then get a big dollar bat that you can get a good 2-3 years out of, dependent on use. Hope this helps.

 

 

Good advice cougarball. I don't understand the $300 bat mentality for a dozen middle school games and a 90 lb 7th grader doesn't get alot out of the bat anyway. Muddle along with a bargain bat until high school and then invest in a bat that will last them 2-3 years. Older model bats are often just different paint jobs for half the money. I bought a 2006 Demarini VooDoo for $165 last year that still had the plastic on it.

UPDATE -- The Easton Synergy arrived three days after making the order. He loves it. Been taking a lot of dry cuts with it, using a heavier wood bat for inside drills. At $129 delivered, I think we swung a pretty good deal, saving roughly $100.

easton bats are a preseason bat...they should be used in preseason to prolong the life of a real bat throughout the season ha ..not a fan ....i think most easton stlye bats are made for more of a slap hitter and takes power away from a pure hitter
