Pros: With all the new regulations on composite bats, we made the switch to the BG2. The Easton brand speaks for itself and is affordably priced at $199 for bats of this quality. As always, its not the bat that makes you a hitter, its the swing. Having a BG2 gives me confidence when I'm at the plate
Cons: None to speak of yet. Though I will miss that "composite pop" flying off my bat. I'll survive.
Pros: This bat is amazing.I like the design on it. It's a really great priced bat.
Cons: Everybody on my team want to use it.
Pros: great pop, stiff flex, even weight distribution most affordable bat that is actually good
Cons: smaller sweet spot than 2010 easton bats, weird end cap, most of my team has the same exact bat
Pros: all right bat, decent pop, good grip, decent bat for the price
Cons: stings really bad if u dont make solid contact
Pros: nice pop. amazingly hot grip. nice graphics. love that its not composite and still hits good. hope the bbcor generations dont down grade every year

Pros: My son was using the previous version of the Rival from 2 years ago a -5 which is Vanadium alloy. A noticeable advantage, but now he has to use a -3. We bought this bat hoping for similar results as he is not a big kid. 1st at bat- double down the right field line. 2nd at bat- sharp single down the left field line. Smile on my son's face.....priceless
Cons: None yet. It's BBCOR so we can't expect the same results as the previous Vanadium clad monster.
