A company in Van Nuys, California called Easton-Bell began manufacturing easton bats in the 70?s, and today they make a large variety of composite, aluminum, alloy and wooden bats.

Easton now makes a wide range of bat styles and specifications that help batters of all skill levels.

The are an industry leader and have done the necessary investment in technology and research to make bats that help players improve their performance.

Easton has developed three new technology for their recent bats called the CNT or carbon nanotube technology, the IMX or integrated matrix and the Connexion technology.

The CNT (carbon nanotube technology) makes Easton?s proprietary resin system even better than it was. This makes their composite bat line have unmatched durability in their handle design. Connexion technology creates an efficient transfer of energy in the bat that goes from the handle to the barrel.

Finally, the result of IMX technology is that it strengthens the structure of composite bats. They do this by angling aerospace fibers in layers along the barrel. This has an additional effect of maximizing the hitting area. One of the benefits of this technology is that it minimizes vibration.

In addition to the new bat technology they have introduced, Easton bats are also made as composite bat, aluminum/alloy and wood.

Easton Sports makes two lines of bats that are composite bats. The Stealth IMX and the Synergy IMX are both composite bats. The difference between the two is that the Stealth has more handle flex than the Synergy. The Youth models for Stealth and Synergy are called the Power Hitter and the LCN11.

Easton now competes head to head with Louisville since the Synergy is a one piece stiff handle bat. The one piece stiff handle bat was produced last year even though they?ve had a two piece stiff handle bat for a long time.
These two bats are pretty much the most popular composite bat from youth to college level.

A hybrid bat is one that has a composite handle and and alloy barrel. Easton makes a hybrid bat called the SV12. Even though the Stealth IMX has handle flex, the SV12 has more flex.

The model V12 has the stiffest handle of the entire Easton line of bats and is a 100% one piece alloy bat.

Easton also makes other 100% alloy bats. The Stealth CNT is one and comes with either a flex or a stiff handle. The Stealth CNT comes highly recommended as the best 100% alloy bat and its known that most players who use alloys prefer the Stealth CNT.

It is well known that Easton has used high tech materials and manufacturing to create their bats, and something you should know is that while most manufacturers claim to have a sweet spot, Easton bats produce performance along the whole length of the barrel, not just a sweet spot. The entire barrel is the sweet spot!

Barrel mass is reduced in the Stealth Speed bat line by a new manufacturing process. This creates a lighter MOI. This makes the player?s swing even faster.

One of their newest bats is called the Easton stealth speed XL which boasts the longest barrel, lightest weight and fastest swing of any bat in the entire little league industry.
