Anyone else having problems with easton bats?

[kmccall]

I have always had good luck with Easton Bats. The Easton comp bats in the stiff flex (orange color) have a very good track record. Did you buy the stiff flex or the Regular flex. You see a lot of college teams using that Bat on TV. The way that the comp bat works is the more you use it the better it gets. As in all bats with these very thin walls they will have to be replaced under warranty. Thats why the cost is so high, because the manufactuers know that there is a good chance of it coming back.

It says optiflex REG on the bat...so is that a regular one? I don't even know...the one we have now is the brand new silver with blue and orange writing that they sent us to replace the one we bought last year. It's not real loose yet, but when you pull on the bell it "gives" in between the bell and the handle.

If there is any sign at all of the bat comming appart it is dead as a door nail....Once they loose compression inside they are deader than a wood bat.....

My brother and me both always hit Louisville TPX bats and never had any trouble with them....

Here is a link to their new bats...

The TPX bats are the best I have seen. My son has had several and he has had zero problems with any of them.

the stealth bats are always a little loose there especially the regular flex!....the stiff flex isn't as much but still some!...me personally love the easton bats and i want to hit with the new easton bats and see what they are like (the two new solid bats instead of 2 piece)

The Omahas are the ones my lad has alot of luck with.

Get a Demarini.

So do you think it is ok to use one that is a little loose like that? Is that normal? He has made some big hits with it and absolutely loves it and has gotten used to it. But I don't want him to use it if it is going to be dangerous. I guess we are just worried where it is loose that it will break when he is using it or hurt someone. We didn't know if it was something that would keep getting worse and then eventually break in two. He has used TPX's and Demarinis before and they are all good bats. He used alot of different ones before we decided to buy the easton. (it's a -3) I guess it is all just personal preference. He had a hard time deciding between that and a Demarini. I haven't heard of anyone really having problems with any of those mentioned except the comp eastons. He has always felt comfortable with it, just worried it was going to break.

The one peice Easton Synergy Softball bats hit well, but I haven't seen anyone hit the 1 peice baseball bats....

The best hitters in Kingsport leagues hit Synergy Softball bats from what I've seen from behind the plate...
