Best bat Luke player

Cons: Price and fingerprints stick out
Mako xl 2016 Wes h parent
Pros: Bat seems so much better than 2015 mako xl. I honestly think easton had a bad run with 2015 bats. I know several people who feel same way. The 2016 mako xl 30/20 is a sweet bat with great pop.
Cons: Absolutely none
best bat E player
Pros: Zero vibration a great fell and massive pop I am 4-4 60 pounds but I can swing this bat just find. My friends love it, I love and over all, it's the best bat I ever had.
Cons: nothing but a little pricey.
bat Chumly chump other
Pros: great feel for it I love it the ball fly even when you hit it in the wrong spot because the bare; is like 9 inches long and I already hit 5 home runs and i have had it for 9 days
Cons: price and easily chipped
massive sweet spot Sean parent
Pros: Huge sweet spot, great grip and balance, major pop. My seven year old played a seven game fall season and went 21 for 24, 16 hard hit legitimate off the fence doubles and 3 home runs over the fence 150' with one taping 185'. The thing is unreal. He is a 105lb and tall 7 year old but the smaller kids using the -11 and -12 Mako's are killing it too. Get one!
Cons: Pricey but worth it
My Thought Rory Finn player
Pros: Lots of pop
Cons: not good durability
great nqt dusty parent
Pros: the bat is just plain awesome lots of pop.
Cons: so far the decals are the only issue they seem to Crack easy we have less than 100 hits on the bat and they are spider cracking.
Great Bat and LOTS of Pop littleleaguepop parent
Pros: If you are looking for a bat with lots of Pop this bat is hard to beat. Keep in mind it should only be swung by larger, stronger players. I believe the 2016 is comparable to last years "orange" XL, however does not compare to the monster crushing 2013 XL1 or Omen (believe me). Still, maybe aside from the new COMbat Maxum, the best hero maker out there.
Cons: I am listing a Con, just for GP, otherwise this or the COMbat Maxum are the two best bats for youths on the market. Again, does not have the pop of the 2013 "yellow " XL1, however if your kid can hit, he will love this bat. If your kid is a contact hitter, I cannot stress enough to instead buy the COMbat Maxum as it will deliver both consistent line drives and power if you buy the -10 (they are also one -piece bats.
-8 Mako XL johnny baseball parent
Pros: Great pop off the bat. Very good quality.
Cons: My son loves this bat but it is not legal for intermediate little league because of the composite. Still looking for a alluminum bat that compares - grip not so good - go with a aftermarket
Great Bat coach cal parent
Pros: great feel great pop
Cons: none
What a bat! Gianni player
Pros: I'm facing some pitchers throwing 70+ and i can get around on all of them. I'm 12 and my longest hit with it is probably around 315 ft. So much pop, and even when I don't barrel up with ball i can get it out of the park with this bat. Large barrel to be allowed in little league, and most of my team has this bat. i use it for travel and i can get it out of the park, easily at that. I've been using this bat for a couple months now and its been reliable, like the 2014 model of this bat i had before it.
Cons: Grip is good feeling,but rips easily. But that may be because i hit 5 buckets off a tee every day.
best bat i've ever got coach harmell coach
Pros: my team got these and 4 people have hit nice homers
Cons: little expensive
Like an Egg Schell bill w coach
Pros: looks good, feels good bas good pop
Cons: if your son has tons of power, this bat will not last. have had 4 in 2 years and they are garbage. Never use them in bp. 2014,2015 and 2016 all broke
Worth every Penny! Josh coach
Pros: The bat has a much longer barrel and sweet spot than the S1. (the drop 12 version that is yellow, orange, or this year green). My son was hitting will with the S1 and in his first game with this bat hit the ball 170 feet. He is 9 years old with above average height and strength. Major difference if you player has the strength to get the bat head around.
Cons: Lizard Skin grip is required so go ahead and spend the $12 bucks. It also is not for a kid that does not have above average upper body strength. If your player is not as strong get the -12 or -11 version of this bat. The orange and yellow ones are just as good and can be found for less money.
Absolute Garbage Bill parent
Pros: Ball goes a long way/
Cons: If your kid can swing a bat, it will break. I am on my 5th one. The one I just bought broke today on the 8th Ball he hit with it. the one before that, broke the first hit of the season. I sent one back to Easton on Thursday, now I have to send this one out on Monday after I call them.
Well worth the price tag. Jim Hall coach
Pros: GREAT overall bat. My son is 12, he is relatively tall at 5'8" and about 130 pounds. We broke this bat in as recommended. He had taken 3 years off from baseball. After getting some reps in this bat has performed flawlessly. He has hit the ball hard on several occasions with a few monster shots near 300 feet. He has a decent swing, but this bat makes a solid swing a possible shot out of the park. Great investment!!
Cons: It does scuff up, but a wash down makes it look fine.
Great bat Jack attack player
Pros: Balance, thin handle.
Cons: none
Best Bat Ever Me player
Pros: My first at bat with this beast I hit a HR to straight away center. The ball came pf the bat so well and felt great. Ever sonce then I have been hitting the ball to and over the fence almost every at bat. Great bat!
Cons: $$$
Son loves this bat, BUT..... Sam Gaff parent
Pros: Bat is BBCOR approved, non-composite. Good bat for 13U -14U player
Cons: Our team purchased 6 of these bats during a demo. 5 of the 6 bats have had to be returned due to the cap busting off the top of the bat. All broke the same way. I have to question the quality if all of the same type of bat had the same problems.
My son very happy with this new bat Scott parent
Pros: My 10-year-old son loves his new bat! Hit a home run with it before it was even fully broken in. He's a big kid (almost 5' tall, 95 pounds) so I got him the 30" 20oz. Now his older brother is eyeing it.
Cons: Only con is the high price
POORLY MADE bigpoi parent
Pros: Don't know used it one at bat and bat cracked
Cons: POORLY MADE!!!! HIGH COST!!! Not the 1st Easton bat my son cracked this season
AWESOME the guy player
Pros: great all around bat. Awesome pop. Doesn't get much better than this.
Cons: My bat just cracked after a year, so watch out for that.
WSLL Pete Rose other
Pros: This bat has an amazing sweet spot once broke in.
Cons: Once broke in bat will crack! Our All Stars have cracked everyone! They are different than orange
Horrible Durability Tony D coach
Pros: Unvelievable pop! truly hits rockets.
Cons: Horrible durability. i coach a 12 U travel team, and at least 6 of my boys bought yhis bat. EVERY ONE of them has returned this bat at least once. my son alone has had 3 ( yes I said 3) REPLACEMENT bats. my son has been without this bat almost as much as he has had it with having to ship the defective bats back.
great pop/durability terrible Simply disappointed coach
Pros: good pop. pretty hot out of wrapper.
Cons: Have bought 3 different mako models this year and two of them didnt last more than 4 weeks.
great bat Kyle Jenson player
Pros: this bat comes out of the box ready to play. I used a 2013 Easton S2 last year for 12u and this bat greatly surpassed it. its an amazing bat for power hitters cause i hit my first through 15th home run this year. Get it!
Cons: bat grip gets a little worn after a few months but is easily replaced by an Easton Hyperskin grip
Favirote Bat John player
Pros: I love this bat because it has a lot of pop and it's really good for any type of player. I started using this bat in my 11u season. I was about 4' 10" and around 70 pounds. I started off the season using the 2015 Mako XL and was doing so-so. As soon as I started using the 2016 model I took off. In my first game with it I hit my first homerun and continued to hit two more. My batting average jumped up and ended the season with a .400 BA. I absolutely love this bat.
Cons: Durability is in question
dingerzzzz tim j player
Pros: best bat ever tons of pop end loaded quick hands breaks in quick
Cons: bat died out in 3 months, but i had warranty
bat cracked tim jones player
Pros: tons of pop great feel
Cons: durability is horrible. i am an elite travel ball player and i had this bat for 3 months before it cracked. this is my second mako xl, because the previous one also cracked.
Bat cracks easily Coach Lilly coach
Pros: Great Pop.
Cons: My son is on his third bat and this one now has cracked. We had batting practice today and this brand new replacement bat cracked after 50 hits. The other two at least made it through a month of practices before they cracked. and Yes, he is the only one hitting with it. They are not team bats. This the third exact bat that has cracked. This is the worst composite bat Easton has made to date. I am moving my son to DeMarini.

Is this bat more of an end loaded bat? Jrock2281
Is this bat the same as last years orange 2015 Easton Mako XL -10 Youth Little League Baseball Bat YB15MKX 31"/21oz? Tim
Is this bat legal for 8 year old ball? miguel
I am a 5'9" and 155 lb power hitter in my last year of Little League, which bat is best for me? The 2016 Easton Mako XL, the 2016 COMBAT MAXUM -10, or the 2016 DeMarini CF8? Trevor Dutra
My son is moving up from coach pitch to 42 MPH machine pitch this spring. He is 6 years old and about to turn 7 on April 5th. He is about 50 inches tall and weighs about 52 lbs. I guess you could say he's a contact hitter at this early point in his baseball career after playing 1 season of T-ball and 2 seasons of coach pitch plus All-stars. During practice he's been hitting about 8 or 9 out of every 10 pitches from the machine, but most his hits are ground balls to the left side of the infield and weaker line drives. Since he is already good at making contact with the ball, but lacks power, I was thinking about buying a bat that would help him hit for more power, but I see in some of the answers to questions about this XL version versus the non-XL version of this bat that the XL version is recommended for power hitters and the other non-XL version is recommended more for contact hitters. I would like him to develop into more of a power hitter, so should I go with the XL or the non-XL version of this bat? Also I was thinking about buying the 28 inch length of either the XL or non-XL? Is this the correct length for him? If not what is? EricOtown

We have between 100-200 hits on this 2 1/4", 31"/21 oz model. The bat is showing spider cracks, but only on the decals of the bat. The cracks don't seem to follow into the black portion of the bat and it still sounds solid when batting. Is it defective? Navy baseball

My bat is dead and I need a new bat. I am a 5 feet 2 inches tall and weight around 90 pounds. I own a 30 inch bat and I was wondering if I should upgrade to a 31 inch 21 ounce or stay with the 30 inch 20 ounce? Should I get the -11 or -12 instead? Which would be better suited for me? Matt
