Description
Every year, Easton unveils the latest game changing technology that revolutionizes baseball bats to enhance and compliment player performance. Expect nothing less from Easton this season with the new MAKO TORQ. The MAKO TORQ combines power with a new genius twist: a 360 Torq Handle. This never before seen handle rotates to promote a fully extended swing, with the top palm facing down, and the bottom palm facing up. By allowing the wrists to move freely, the MAKO TORQ technology gets the barrel to the zone faster and keeps it in the zone longer, allowing the hitter to square up for more pitches, more often with explosive power. There is no doubt the MAKO TORQ is way ahead of the competition, providing players with an increasingly important edge to stay on top! Easton added the 360 TORQ handle to their high end MAKO baseball bat. The two-piece, composite design is equipped with the same powerful technologies such as Easton's TCT Thermo Composite Technology and their ConneXion Technology. TCT Thermo Composite is engineered to provide top-notch players two major benefits: unmatched bat speed and a massive sweet spot. ConneXion Technology maximizes energy transfer for an optimized feel. To provide baseball players with a world-class feel, Easton also included their gauze grip to provided added comfort, and durability. There is a reason why champions swing Easton as they never settle for the ordinary! Easton is Sports Engineering! The Easton MAKO TORQ is USSSA Certified and features the 1.15 BPF stamp on the barrel. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping Included!

Both bats will feature an extended barrel, however, the barrel on the 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) will be a little shorter in length than the 2015 Easton XL1 Senior League -8 Baseball Bat (SL15X18).
Ben
This year our spring league has approved the us of 2 5/8" bats. My question is can I find an Easton MAKO TORQ with a 2 5/8" barrel and 29" 19 oz? Toney
The MAKO TORQ is only made in the -8, -5, and -3 big barrel. You will not be able to find a 29" 19 oz version of the TORQ with a 2 5/8" barrel. The 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) smallest size available is a 30" 22 oz.
Jason
Is it balanced or end-loaded? aburd
The 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) features a two piece full composite design with a balanced swing weight. Additionally, it does offer a large sweet spot and sharper barrel taper that enhances the overall performance of the bat.
Joe
Is the rotating handle a problem while hitting because I don't want to hurt my wrists? homer
The 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) will feature a two piece full composite design with a 360 degree rotating handle. The rotating handle helps keep the batter's wrists aligned through the zone, and there shouldn't be any issues with the handle over-rotating.
Joe
Is the CF7 better than the TORQ? stevwn
The 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) features a two piece full composite design with a large sweet spot. Additionally, it offers a rotating handle which helps players keep their wrists aligned through the zone. The 2015 DeMarini CF7 Senior League Baseball Bat (DXCFR) features a two piece full composite design with an extremely balanced sweet spot. Additionally, it offers the D-fusion handle which does a nice job of absorbing most of the shock and vibration traveling through the barrel of the bat. The performance on both models will be similar.
Joe
Would you recommend a 32 inch 24 ounce for a young 12 year old? M
Based on his age we would recommend getting the 30 inch in the 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T).
Frankie
I am 14 years old and 5'5" and 175 lbs. Do you think I should swing a 32" 24 oz or find a 32" 22 oz. bat? baseballguy12345
If your league does not require a BBCOR bat then we would recommend going with a 32" 24 oz. This will help make the transition to a BBCOR model easier for you.
John
Is the MAKO TORQ end loaded? Bam Bam
The 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) features a balanced swing weight.
Jason
My son will be 13 when fall baseball starts. He is 5 foot 2 and weighs 90 pounds. He currently uses a drop 10 and I want to ease him towards a drop 3. Would you recommend a drop 8, 31 inch 23 ounce bat? Or something else? tbt
A 31 inch 23 ounce -8 bat like the 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) would be a great option for starting that transition process. From there, you may want to start working with a -5 bat after a while and work your way up.
Patrick
Why is this bat so expensive? jacob
The material and technology in the 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) is of very high quality, increasing the price.
Frankie
Is the 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Bat legal in 13 year old Babe Ruth Baseball? Shelly
No. Composite barreled bats like the 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) have to be BBCOR certified for use in that division and this bat is not.
Patrick
Is this bat legal for Little League Intermediates (50/70)? They do not allow composite barrels. Bryan
The 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) has a composite barrel and is not legal for play in the Intermediate 50/70. All composite barrel bats are require to have the BBCOR certification in Intermediate 50/70. This model features the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp and would not be legal for play.
Jason
Will this bat still have a one year warranty from Easton if I get it off of Justbats.com? Gfin
Yes. All new products that have a warranty from the manufacturer purchased on our site would have that full warranty because we are an authorized retailer. The 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) would have a full 12 month warranty.
Patrick
Is this a drop 3? Can I use this bat in high school? gus
The 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) is a drop 8 and it does not feature the BBCOR certification stamp. It is not legal for play in high school.
Jason
I'm 5'1, 110 lb and 13u travel baseball. I'm not sure what size I should get. WilmotKid07
Based on your height and weight I would suggest going with the 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) in a 31" 23 oz. If you wanted, you could also drop down a size and go with the 30" 22 oz.
Cameron
Is this bat legal in Little League major divisions? John Woodman
The 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) will not be allowed in Little League major divisions as the barrel diameter is not 2 1/4"
Cameron
I'm 5 feet tall 70 lbs but I need a middle school bat. Azy
Based upon your height and weight, I would recommend using a 30" 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK8T. This 2015 MAKO TORQ features a 2 5/8 inch barrel diameter and a -8 length to weight ratio so it may be used at the middle school level.
John
I was wondering if I should go with Mako TORQ 2 1/4, 31/21 or Mako TORQ 2 5/8 barrel, 31/23? My son is 5'1" and 85 pounds. Randy
Both sizes you are reviewing would be good options for the 2016 Easton MAKO TORQ Youth Baseball Bat: YB16MKT10 and the 2015 Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK8T. With that said, the barrel size to consider would be the one allowed in your league. If he can swing the bigger barrel than the 2 5/8" barrel diameter would be the best option.
Cameron
My son is 4'10" and 93 lbs. What would be better, a drop 5 or a drop 8 at 29 or 30 inches? Cap
Based on his height and weight, we would recommend getting the Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK8T in a 30 inch 22 ounce model. If this player is one year away from high school then it would be best to get a drop 5 as this will make the transition to BBCOR (drop 3) easier.
Cameron
What's the difference between MAKO TORQ vs XL? Son is almost 12, 5'3" and 90 lbs. S Vigil
The Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK8T is a two-piece fully composite bat with a balanced swing weight. This bat will also feature the TORQ 360 degree rotating handle technology. The 2016 Easton MAKO TORQ XL Senior League Baseball Bat: SL16MKT8 is going to be the same bat in design and construction minus the swing weight (XL will mean end-loaded; this bat has a smaller sweet spot with more mass meaning you can create greater barrel whip which can translate into more power potentially), color design and grip tape. Both of these bats will feature TCT thermo composite technology.
Cameron
I'm looking to buy my son a new baseball bat. Which MAKO would you recommend with the most pop for the price? My son is 13, 6'0" and 190 lbs. JJ
Based on your son's height and weight I would recommend a 33" bat. With that being said we no longer have any of the Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bats (SL15MK8T) in stock. I would instead recommend a 32" 2016 Easton MAKO XL Senior League Baseball Bat (SL16MK5).
Jake
What is the drop? alex
The Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK8T features a drop 8.
Jason
What is MOI and how does the rotating handle work? April
MOI stands for Moment of Inertia and has to do with the swing weight. The Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK8T features a low MOI for a light swing weight. The rotating handle allows the player to get the barrel of the bat into the zone faster, and leave the barrel in the zone longer by allowing the player's bottom hand to rotate freely as it normally would.
Logan
Is this considered a big barrel bat? Mike
Yes, it has a barrel diameter of 2 5/8". "Big Barrel" can also mean bats with a 2 3/4" diameter, so be sure to check with your league to be sure which is allowed or which one you want to use.
Kyle J.
Is this bat legal for Little League ages 13-14 Junior Division. The rule states that the barrel has to be aluminum. Composite barrels are illegal. Is the barrel composite or just the handle? Dustin
The Easton MAKO TORQ Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK8T) is not approved for play in Little League Juniors. It is a two-piece full composite bat. The Junior Division requires any full composite bat to be BBCOR certified.
