Description

This past season, the Easton Rival burst on to the scene as THE HOTTEST new aluminum bat in baseball. Drawing nothing but positive reviews, the Rival has quickly gained a loyal following.

Pros: My 9 yr old dd hit a shot into the outfield a couple of weeks ago during a cold day at a tournament in Chino Hills,Ca. The rest of her hits were hard grounders that pinged off the bat pretty fast. We are sold, this is a great bat!

Cons: Nothing yet...

GAMECHANGER

Pros: Bought this for my 9yr old. Previous bats were $200-$300 composites. This has just as much pop out of the box. The "ping" sound is great! She loves it!

Cons: No performance issues yet. I would like to see a different color.

Pros: My U12 daughter saw Composite bat break and really wanted an aluminum bat. She is smoking the ball with it. I don't see any drop off from her composite. I like the loud "ping" when contact is made…sounds like my driver.

Cons: Nothing yet…

Chris

Pros: I've been reading alot of bat reviews over the last month or so, and was alittle skeptical how the all said "pop right out of the wrapper" or something to that effect. Well I am a believer in this bat! My daughter is a 6th grader on her middle school team and has used this bat for two games now and no she did'nt hit her first home run the first time she used it...struck out actually. however the next 8 times up she is batting 500 and hitting the ball hard. She say's she can't feel the ball hit the bat, all the bats her team has would ring her hands 9 times out of 10. So we are both believers, I have registered the bat and saved my receipt etc. just in case but I don't think I'll be needing it. GREAT BAT!

what is the lowest temperature this bat can be used in? Cat

Brett
how does this bat compare to the popular composite bats currently on the market? crowbar
This will be a very high performing alloy bat. Sure, there are some popular composite bats out there that may perform a little better, but this bat will display great performance and excellent durability. It will also be ready to go right out of the box, where as other composite bats require a break-in period before they reach their full potential.
Jeff
Is this bat approved by ASA for high school girls in the 2011 season jo
Yes. This bat is ASA approved and will be good to go in High School softball.

My granddaughters are playing 12U tournament ball? How does this bat compare to a composite? Charlie
Composite fastpitch bats are known to offer better pop, but will require a break-in period of 100-200 hits. Alloy bats will be hot out of the wrapper, but may not have the same pop as composites.
