Description

There are 3 constants when it comes to slow pitch players and their bats. They want a bat that's hot out of the wrapper, they're always looking for the next best thing, and they prefer either a balanced or end-loaded design. Raw Power is Easton's answer. The Raw Power line features the B-Series that offers evenly balanced designs for controlled power, and the L-Series that offers end-loaded designs for absolute maximum power. Part of the L-Series, the L4.0 has a specific end-load weight called out at the end of its 12 inch barrel: 26oz = 1oz load, 27oz = 2oz load, 28oz = 3oz load, 30oz = 4oz load. The L4.0 is Brett Helmer's pro model and features Easton's Single System Composite Design. The barrel is constructed from Easton's trademark IMX Composite for an optimal sweet spot and maximum performance, while the handle uses SIC Black Carbon to create the BEST feeling composite bat you'll EVER swing. This handle is wrapped with an ultra-thin gauze grip that is perfect for players that like tack without the bulkiness of many modern grips. The time is now to bring Raw Power to YOUR game. Easton: Engineered for Glory! The L4.0 features the new ASA stamp and is approved for play in only ASA and ISF. It is backed by a Full Six (6) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Pros: Just started using it, had to wait until it was above 60 degrees. Still needs time to break in so too early to rate, but it does feel like a balanced end loaded bat. No sting in hands when not hit in sweet spot. Until it's broken in I can't comment on distance but it seems to have good pop for a brand new bat.

Cons:

Pros: Wasn't sure about the end load on my 28 oz., but I love this bat. Did take a few swings for it to start opening up. Even I can drop bombs with it.

Cons: Not sure how long the grip is gonna hold up.

Pros: Hot out of wrapper.

Cons: No durability, had for a month and broke. I sent it back and broke replacement in a week. Worst of all it is a 6 month warranty, which makes you wonder do they know they won't hold up?

Pros: Very first swing with this bat was a 300ft HR on a field that rarely gives gives them up. By the end of the game the entire team was using it. Consistently hitting the Ball 30 to 40 feet further than usual. Highly recommend this bat!!

Cons: Didn't buy it sooner!!

Pros: Balanced feel for an end loaded bat.

Cons: Taking a long time to break-in, I'm in agreement with cgroz in that I don't feel the pop on the 52 balls - at least not yet. The bat has about 50 + swings so it may still be too early. Most of my line drive hitters on my team like this bat.

Pros: Don't expect a lot out of the wrapper, but once you get about 500 swings lights out! Kills the 52/300 and is keeping pace with my Easton L2.0.

Pros: Got this bat (34"/27oz.) as a warranty replacement for my 2012 Helmer that got an awful vibe and had good but tiny sweetspot that just never seemed to get any bigger than the size of a ball. The L4.O is a very solid bat with a big and forgiving sweetspot. I'm not really a power hitter, usually just a handful of homeruns every year. Hit just as many in the past with the 2011 Salvo and my old 2012 Synergy Speed Helmer, although I can't figure out why since this one feels so much nicer through the zone. Maybe I just need to get used to increased enload from the older Helmer models. At first I didn't really like the new thin grip, but it's grown on me. Overall a great bat with great pop and feel.

Cons: Got about 200 cuts on it and no complaints yet.

Surprised Juice player

Pros: I review feedback like this right now for guidance in buying a bat. not disappointed at all. thank you. but beyond that I was also surprised at how well the ball travels off contact from this bat. it was 1 thing to read about it, it's another to actually see the results with your own eyes. hot and loaded out of the wrapper. this bat is really good a teammate bought 1 a month after. i had it for 3 months and don't notice any cracking or damage so far.

Cons: it's white so expect it to become a light shade of brown after awhile.

Can this bat be used with 44/375 balls? Cpl

The 2014 Easton L4.0 Brett Helmer Pro Model: SP13L4 Slow Pitch bat carries the new ASA certification mark, so it is designed to hit the .52/300 softballs. This bat will hit .44 COR softballs well, but its durability will be severely compromised.

Mac

What is the difference between this one and the Easton L6.0. I saw this for 100 bucks more? thedawg

The Easton L4.0 has a higher quality composite in the handle than the Easton L6.0.

Damon

Where is the Asa stamp? I tried to use it tonight for the first time and ump said no way without the stamp. I don't see it anywhere. Campbell

The 2014 Easton L4.0 Brett Helmer model features the ASA and ISF stamp on the taper of the bat.

John

The ASA stamp nowhere to be found. I looked over every inch of this bat, no ASA stamp anywhere. You said it was on the taper of the bat. I don't see it. Any chance you could send me a picture of where it is on one of these bats you have in stock? Campbell

I used both the Easton Brett Helmer and the Worth Resmondo in a fall league this year. Both bats were 28 oz. I am 6'4" and 190 lbs. with good bat speed. Would I benefit more going to a 30 oz bat? Im1081

If the 30 oz is going to slow your bat speed down at all, then I would recommend just sticking with the 28 oz. If you can swing a 30 oz with the same bat speed as a 28 oz, then you would be able to benefit from the extra weight of the 30 oz.
