Description
The next generation of Power Brigade has arrived. Now in its third season, this groundbreaking line of bats is unlike anything else on the field today. The concept is simple: Help players hit for power. However, Easton realizes that different players achieve a powerful swing in different ways. That's why the Power Brigade is divided into two distinct series - the XL Series (XL1, XL2, and XL3) and the Speed Series (S1, S2, and S3). The XL Series is designed for bigger, stronger hitters who derive their power from a bat with more mass. Smaller length to weight ratios, and an extra-long barrel with a massive sweet spot and a slight end load characterize the XL Series. The Speed Series, on the other hand, helps players increase their swing speed in order to generate more power. These bats feature lighter length to weight ratios, a lower M.O.I., and a balanced feel. Further trying to equip players with their perfect bat, Easton offers all of its Power Brigade bats in a two-piece IMX Composite/SIC Black Carbon design (XL1, S1), a two-piece THT100 Scandium Alloy/SIC Black Carbon hybrid design (XL2, S2), and a one-piece THT Scandium Alloy design (XL3, S3). Two of the highest performing materials ever used on a bat, Easton's patented IMX Composite optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance, while their THT Scandium Alloy provides solid durability and allows for a larger alloy sweet spot than is seen anywhere else on the field. Throw in an array of additional world-class Easton technology, and you've got a line of bats that can't be topped. Easton: Engineered for Glory! The S1 is BBCOR Certified and approved for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by Easton's Exclusive (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

Is the 2014 S1 basically the same thing as the 2013 S1? harold

Justin R.
Which bat is easier to swing and has the largest barrel size between the Rawlings 5150 and the Easton S1? Dad
Both the Rawlings 5150 and Easton S1 are very balanced bats. The difference would be the S1 is a two-piece composite bat, and the 5150 is a one-piece aluminum.
Justin R.
What are the differences between the 2014 S1 and the 2013 S1 AJ
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult bat and the 2013 model will be the same exact design. Two-piece fully composite designs that are very balanced. They will feature the same material also. The difference will be in the new color and graphics.

Aubrey
Would you recommend this bat or the Marucci Elite? CRAS27
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult and the Marucci Elite are both very balanced top of the line bats. The decision will come down to which bat you personally prefer.
Noah
What bat would be best for me. I am a 14 year old freshman. I'm 5'6" and weigh about 135 lbs. Would the new XL1, S1, or Mako be best for me? stewy5400
The new 2014 Easton Mako, would nearly be the best of both worlds. It will have the longest barrel with the lightest swing weight out of the three. The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult would also be a great choice for a player at your height and weight.
Brandon
If I am both a contact hitter and a power hitter, what bat will most benefit me, the 2014 S1 or the 2014 XL1? jean
If you are a contact hitter at all, I think you should be best off with the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult.
Noah
I am 5'8" and 165 lbs. Should I swing a 32" or 33" bat? baseballer4
For a player your size, I would recommend going with a 32" bat.
Marcus
I'm a 6'3", 170 lb. 14 year old. Which bat and what length and weight do you recommend? Aust98
Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 33" model in the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult bat. For further information on sizing, please visit our Bat Coach at http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/
Aubrey
I am 16, 5' 3", and 125 pounds. Should I get a 31" or 32" bat? baseballswag
We would recommend a 30'', however, you can also go up to a 31''. For more information on sizing, please visit our Bat Coach at http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/
Tori
What are the differences between this years S1 (2014), 2013 S1, and the 2012 S1? Dave
The 2014 and 2013 Easton S1 BBCOR bats are identical in construction and materials. The 2014 and 2013 models have IMX Composite barrels and the SIC Black Carbon Composite handles. The 2012 S1 is composed only from IMX Composite.
Mac
Will there be a -5 in this bat or the XL series? BM9
There will be a -5 in the 2014 Easton XL1: SL14X15 Senior League and also an 2014 Easton XL3: SL14X35 Senior League. It will not be offered in the S-Series.
Brandon
What are the main differences between the S1, S2, S3, and S4? Is there one that is better? Thanks. Cardinals fan
The S1 is going to be Easton's top of the line model that they have to offer. It is going to be a two-piece full composite design. The S2 is going to be considered a hybrid. It will have an alloy barrel and composite handle. The S3 will be a one-piece all alloy design. The S4 will be a one-piece all alloy design just like the S3 model. The difference between the two will be the S4 will have a 2 1/2" barrel. With the S4 having a smaller barrel it will also have a lighter swing weight as well.
John
I am 14, 5' 2" and 110 lbs. What is the best bat on the market for a player like me? baseballdude
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult is a balance bat and would be perfect for a player of your height and weight. I would also look into the 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR: BB14MK Adult as it will be more balanced than the Easton S1.
John H
How does this bat compare to the new CF6? Matt
Both the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult and he 2014 DeMarini CF6 are two-piece composite bats. The CF6 features a D-Fusion handle which reduces vibration, but it gives the bat a stiffer feel.
Tori
How does this bat's "pop" compare to the old Marucci Cat 5? Matt9
2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult is legal for BBCOR, and the CAT 5 does not meet those requirements. However, the Easton S1 is a balanced two-piece composite bat that is one of the highest performing models we have.
Justin R.
Which bat is better for me: the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR, the 2014 Easton XL1 BBCOR, or the 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR? I'm 6'2" and I weigh about 165 lbs. I'm 15 years old. I've always been the liner and gap-to-gap kind of hitter. I have a very quick bat speed. Troy6Trojans
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult would be a great choice for your body type and hitting style. But the 2014 Easton MAKO would feature an extended barrel design to go along with a super balanced swing weight. Either would be a great selection.
Brandon
what is the difference between the 2014 Easton S1, S2, S3, and S4? Do you have a preference on the four bats? Are there some better than others? maxyman44
For the specific differences between the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult and other S Series bats, check out this JustBats Blog Article: http://goo.gl/gpTE8A. The S4 is the same as the S3, but it offers a slightly smaller 2 1/2" barrel diameter that makes the bat lighter and more balanced. It's a great transition bat for a player's first BBCOR model. The S1 is the highest quality model of the four because of its two-piece composite design. All four models have balanced swing weights for maximum bat speed.
Mac
What size would you recommend for me? I'm 6'1, 215 pounds, and used a 33" model of last year's S1. I really liked it, but I'm contemplating whether or not to go up a size. Tyrone
For a player your size, I'd recommend staying with the 33" model of the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult.
Marcus
From a performance standpoint, are there any differences between this model and the 2013 model? Luke R
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult and the 2013 Easton S1 use the same composite material for outstanding performance and durability.
Kara
Hi, I'm curious for Christmas what size bat I should get. I used a 31" 28 oz. last year. I'm 15 5'4" and 120 lbs. I'm getting ready for high school ball and I'm not sure if I should still stick with the 31" 28 oz. or move up to a 32" 29 oz. bronxbombers2
Based on your height and weight we recommend a 31" 28 oz. 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult.
Kara
I'm 5'4 and weigh 170 pounds. Which bat and size would you recommend between the Easton MAKO and the Easton S1? chooch
Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 31" bat. The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 is a balanced bat so if you are more of a contact hitter, this would be a great option for you. The 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR: BB14MK features an extended barrel design to go along with a super balanced swing weight, so it is more of a combination of the S1 and the Easton XL1. Either would be a great selection, the decision would come down to which bat you personally prefer.
Tessa
My son likes a stiff bat like the 2012 Easton S1. He does not like a bat with much flex. With that in mind, how does the 2014 S1 compare and what other bat would you recommend? sanchez brothers
The SIC Black Carbon composite in the handle of the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult actually provides a stiffer flex than the IMX Composite in the handle of the 2012 S1. If your son likes the balance of the S1, and is looking for a bat with a stiff flex, the 2014 model is a great choice. If he truly likes a stiff flex, a one-piece bat (ie Easton S3) would be a great choice.
Mac
Is there any advantage to buying an Easton S1 or XL1 compared to the Mako other than price? Dave
The Easton XL1 is end loaded which will make it a better choice for a power hitter. However, for a contact hitter the MAKO would be the best choice because it will have the lightest swing weight with an extended sweet spot.
Tori
I'm 6'2" 155 lbs, and have slow hands. The MAKO or the S1? john
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult and the 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR (BB14MK) Adult are both balanced two-piece fully composite designs, but the MAKO is one of the lightest swinging bats on the market.
Jason
does the s1 have a bigger sweet pot than the s2 luke
The 2014 Easton S1 (BB14S1) and the 2014 Easton S2 (BB14S2) will have very similar sweet spots because they both are apart of Easton's Speed Series. The difference between the two is that the S1 has a composite barrel and the S2 has an alloy barrel.
John
Is the S1 faster than the S2? luke
Both the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) and S2 will have comparable swing weights and swing speeds.
Tori
Between the S1 and the MAKO which one will have a lighter feel because I'm almost 14 so i need to go up to a bbcor but i don't know what to get? BGomez23
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult and the MAKO are both balanced bats. They have some of the lightest swing weights available on the market today. The 2014 Easton MAKO swing weight will be lighter than the S1. The MAKO features an extended barrel design to go along with a super balanced swing weight. Either would be a great selection.
Tessa L.
Is the S1 manufactured in the US? I don't mean assembled in US, just wondering if it's US made? Chas
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult bat is manufactured by Easton. Here is their direct number if you'd like to ask them: 1-888-259-1297. At this time I do not know the information.
Brandon
How well does the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR handle cold weather? Josh D
Generally, we do not recommended using a bat like the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) in temperatures below 60 degrees. Lower temperatures will decrease the bats performance and increase the potential of cracking.
Tessa L.
How do the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult and the 2014 Easton S2 BBCOR (BB14S2) Adult compare in performance and feel? Kyle
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult is a two-piece full composite and will be higher performing than the 2014 Easton S2 BBCOR (BB14S2) Adult which is also a two-piece bat, but will have a composite handle and alloy barrel. Both bats will have flex and cut down on vibration because of the two-piece construction but the Easton S1 will be higher performing because of the composite barrel.
Damon
How does this 2014 S1 compare to the 2013 S1? I do not want to pay $400 for the bat, so if I can't get the 2014 model for a little less, then I might have to get the 2013 model or just a different bat. Steven
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult and the 2013 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB13S1) Adult are identical bats with the same specifications. The only difference is the cosmetic look.
Jason
What bat is better, the S1 or the XL1? bballer
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult bat will have the same two-piece composite design as the XL!. The main difference is that the XL1 will have an extended barrel and slight barrel heaviness to the swing weight. The S1 will be fully balanced.
Brandon
I'm 16 years old. A little over 6 feet tall and weigh 120-125 lbs, mostly a contact hitter. I'm thinking of the S1 bat, but I'd like to know what bat and bat size you would recommend for me? Matt
Based on your height and weight, we suggest a 32" model in the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult. The balanced swing weight and two-piece design is an ideal fit for any contact hitter.
Jason
What would happen if you didn't break-in a composite bat and just started to use it for live BP and things like that? zg
If you did not break-in the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: BB14S1 Adult bat you could run the risk of damaging the internal composite barrel material. You may not see the damage until it's too late. Composite barrels damage from inside out. Alloy barrels damage outside in.
Brandon
My son is a 14 year old freshman who is 5'7" and weighs 133 pounds. I bought him a S1 31" bat. The coach says that none of his freshmen should have a S1 bat because their swing is not fast enough and that I should have bought him a S3. Is this correct? Does the S3 have a faster swing than the S1? Vickie
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) and the Easton S3 are both very balanced bats. The Easton S1 is a two-piece bat and is designed for a contact hitter. The Easton S3 is a stiffer,one-piece bat and is typically preferred by power hitters.
Kara
I'm a 14 yr. old freshman and about 5'2", I don't know whether I want to get the 2014 Easton S1 or the Marucci Team. I'm a contact hitter and would like a light feeling bat. I like both bats and have swung them both multiple times. Can you help me make a decision? (Why one over the other, pros/cons, etc.) The Tank
The three pros that push the S1 over the Team in terms of quality are that the S1 should last longer with the composite barrel, offers more flex and trampoline effect with the two-piece design, and also helps eliminate vibration with the two-piece design and composite handle. The biggest pro of the Team model is the price point and that it's hot right out of the wrapper. It's a pretty balanced option as well.
Mac
My Son, since little league and Pony, has used Easton. Now he is in high school and I just bought him the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR. He is 5'5" 150 pounds. Is the 31" 28 oz model okay for him? CHUY
Based on his height and weight, the 31" model in the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult is the ideal size for him.
Jason
What is the difference between this years model compared the the last few? King5084
The Easton S Series is a very well performing lineup of bats. Each year they undergo technological changes aimed to maximize performance. Durability issues are addressed and cosmetic changes are applied as well.
Gary T.
What size should I get if I am a contact hitter standing 5-5 maybe 5-6 and about 105 pounds ? I'm looking to get about 2 years out of it. I'm 14 right now. K
Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 29" 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1). For more information on sizing, check out our Bat Coach: http://www.justbats.com/bat-coach/
Tessa L.
I'm 5'8" 171 pounds. Which one is better for me 2014 XL1 or the 2014 S1? james
If you are a contact hitter, we would recommend a balanced bat such as the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1). The 2014 Easton XL1 BBCOR (BB14X1 ) is end loaded and designed for a power hitter.
Kara
I swung an Easton XL1 this year and hit the fence dead center many times on a 380 field but could never seem to get it over. I'm 6"3 160 and 15. This seems like a bad question, but would this bat give me a better chance to hit it over? Or would another? future55
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) would be a more balanced bat, but you may lose some power moving from an end loaded bat. The Easton XL1 is one of our more popular end loaded models. Another good option maybe the DeMarini Voodoo line.
Kelby
I am 14, weigh 110 lbs and am 5' 10". What size bat should I get? brady
Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 31" model in the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult.
Jason
I am 14, I weigh 121 lbs and am 5'11" tall. What size Easton bat should I get? austin
Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 31" model in the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult.
Jason
Should I get the 2014 or the 2013 S1 adult for high school? I am 6'3" and 145 lbs? kollin
Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 33" model in the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult. However, the 2013 S1 and the 2014 S1 are the same bat other than the paint scheme.
Jason
How long does it take to break this in? What's the better choice the MAKO or this S1? I love balanced bats and am more of a contact hitter. Tim
The Easton MAKO and the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1 Adult) bat will feel similar in swing weight and balance. They both will be very light and balanced. The MAKO will have a longer more extended barrel length compared to the S1. Break-in will take 200-300 swings. Soft toss or tee work will suffice. After that it should be game ready!
Brandon
I am 15, 5'10" and 180 pounds. I am debating on whether to buy the 2014 S1 or 2014 XL1. I am an all around hitter. Which one do you recommend? Mo
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult is best for an all around hitter because of its balanced swing weight. However, if you have great bat speed the XL1 is an excellent option.
Jason
What's the difference between the Easton S1 2014 BBCOR and the Easton MAKO? Will
The 2014 Easton MAKO BBCOR (BB14MK) uses new composite material. The material allows for the have a balanced swing weight with an extended barrel. The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) is a high performing bat, but will not have as long of a barrel as the MAKO.
Kara
Will the 2014 S1 make you have an even faster swing than the 2013 S1? Will it give you more power? baseballgod
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) and the 2013 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB13S1) will be very similar in terms of design and performance.
Patrick
How does the S1 barrel length and pop compare to the S2? bay bay
The barrel length and pop on the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult are identical to those on the S2. The S1 does require a break-in period because it has a composite barrel.
Jason
I'm between this bat and the RIP-IT Air Elite. What would be the pros and cons in their performance, feel and pop? Foster3
The performance between the RIP-IT Air Elite and the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1 Adult) will both be very similar and very high. Also, they both are super balanced and light weight. The major difference between the S1 and the Air Elite is that the S1 will have a composite barrel, while the Air Elite will have an alloy barrel.
Brandon
I am looking at buying a new bat. I am between the Easton MAKO and the Easton S1. What are some pros and cons to each bat. I have been using the Marucci Team Black. I like it, but I would like some more pop and a longer barrel. C
Both the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult and the MAKO are two-piece composite designs with balanced swing weights. The MAKO and the S1 are very similar, but the MAKO features an extended barrel and Easton's newest composite material. The Extended barrel and the new composite provide the MAKO with a slightly bigger sweet spot.
Jason
Is this the lightest BBCOR bat on the market? Or is there a lighter bat? kyle
All BBCOR bats are going to be -3 in weight. However, the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) Adult will have one of the lightest swing weights on the market.
Aaron
Im 5'9" 140. should i go with a 31 or 32 inch bat? Nick
I recommend a 32 inch 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) for you, based on your height and weight.
Bobby
I am 6'1 and weigh around 150 lbs. Which size do you think is best for me? I was thinking 33". Does composite last longer than aluminum? Why do composite bats cost so much more than aluminum? Mitch
Based on the information you provided I would recommend a 33" 30 oz. in the 2014 Easton S1 (BB14S1). They usually have the same shelf life but composite has been known to last slightly longer because of the design of the bat and each individual carbon fiber aids in the structure of the bat. The reason why composite bats tend to cost more than aluminum is solely based on the manufacturer. It also costs more to make composite bats than aluminum.
Zach
Is this bat literally all composite? Also including the endcap and the knob? Mitch
In the Easton S1 (BB14S1) excluding the grip and end cap and knob the bat is a two-piece composite. The end cap and knob will be made out a plastic material.
Zach
I'm 6' 1" 160 lbs and have great bat speed and great hands. Which size bat should I swing and should I get the XL1 or the S1? Donny Baseball
Based on your height and weight, I would recommend a 33" model. If you are more of a power hitter, the XL1 would be the bat for you. If you are more of a contact hitter, the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) would be the way to go.
Justin R.
How long should this bat last? Mitch4
The time frame a bat will last depends on the amount of use. However, with proper care, the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) should last approximately two seasons.
Kara
How should I care for this bat for maximum use? Mitch4
The first step is to properly break-in the bat. We recommend to take 100-200 swings off a tee or soft toss. Rotate the barrel about a 1/4" each swing. Do not use the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) in batting cages that use yellow dimpled balls. We also recommend not to use any composite bats under 55 degrees.
Kara
Did Easton make any revisions on this bat besides cosmetic (grip, cxn piece, etc)? Mitch 4
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) uses the same composite materials as the 2013 model. The only change are the graphics.
Kara
Our 13 year old son is 5'11" and weighs 165 pounds. He is a power hitter and needs a drop 3, what length bat should we purchase? debbie
Based on his approximate height and weight, the size we would suggest would be a 32" 29 oz.
Merritt
My son is in his last year of youth Little League. He is 5 foot 7 and weighs 135 pounds. What length and weight would you suggest? Brian
Based on the players height and weight, we would suggest the 31 inch length of the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1).
Patrick
My son just broke his XL3 BBCOR -3 and looking for a replacement. He is 14 years old and 6 foot and 190 pound power hitter. Which bat would you recommend? DC
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) would be a great option for your son. However, the XL3 features an end loaded swing weight. If you wanted to keep that same type of swing, I would recommend the Easton XL1 BBCOR.
Justin R.
My son is 13 years old, 5'3" and 115 pounds and needs to get his first bbcor bat. Which model from the power brigade and what length should he need? Jason
We would recommend using the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1). The length we would recommend would be 30 inches.
Kyle
my son is 15 years old 5'9" and 140 pounds, what bat would you recommend? c-money
We recommend your son using a 31 inch length bat. The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) would be a great bat for your son to use. It will be very balanced and good for a contact hitter.
Kyle
I hit for contact and power. Would you recommend this bat for me? jon
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) is a great bat for all types of hitters. The balanced swing weight is ideal for most players.
Jason
Does the new 2014 BBCOR S1 have a slightly larger barrel than the 2013 BBCOR S1? Jared
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) and the 2013 Easton S1 have the same barrel size. They only difference between the bats is the paint/color scheme.
Jason
Which bat is more balanced? The Marucci Elite or the Easton S1? kyle
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) and the
2014 Marucci Elite BBCOR (MCBE14) are both very balanced bats. There is not a significant difference in balance between the two bats.
Kara
Whats the difference between the 2014 S1 and the 2013? opihi5
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) is very similar to the 2013 model. The main difference between the two is the new graphic designs for the 2014 model

My friend wants a contact bat and he is 5' tall and weighs 115 lbs. He is looking at the S1. What do you think? whwtup
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) has a two-piece design with a balanced swing weight, and is ideal for contact hitters.
Jason
What bat is better the 2014 XL1 or the 2014 S1? tommy
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) and the 2014 Easton XL1 BBCOR (BB14X1) will have the same performance off the bat. Both bats will feature the same IMX composite in the barrel. Deciding between the two will be a personal preference. The Easton S1 is designed for speed because of the very balanced swing weight. The Easton XL1 is designed for power. It will have a large barrel but will have and endloaded swing weight.
John
I am 5 foot 3 and weigh 105 pounds. I am mostly a contact hitter but I still want enough pop to get the ball in the gap. I was wondering if I should get the XL1 or S1? JJ
Based on your height and weight and your description of your strengths as a hitter we would suggest going with the more balanced 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1). The more end-loaded 2014 Easton XL1 BBCOR (BB14X1) would not be as beneficial to your style of play.
Patrick
My son needs his first BBCOR bat and we are trying to decide between the XL1 and S1. He is very tall and slim and is about 5'9" and weighs around 115 lbs. Is size just a personal preference? He is a great batter but I am worried about him swinging a heavier bat. He is currently swinging a -5, 31". Do you think with his height we should get a 32"? Nick
Based on his approximate height and weight I would suggest 31". However, ultimately it will come down to player preference, and what feels most comfortable. The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: (BB14S1) will be extremely balanced, and the weight distribution will be the biggest difference between this model and the 2014 Easton XL1 BBCOR: (BB14X1). The 2014 Easton XL1 BBCOR (BB14X1) will be slightly end-loaded, and generally this feature is preferred by power hitters. The slight-end load will make the bat feel slightly top heavy.
Merritt
I am 14 years old and I weigh 85 pounds. What Easton bat should I get? Also, what size in BBCOR? da
Based on your approximate size, I would probably suggest a 32". The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: (BB14S1) would work perfectly if you are a contact-hitter. The two-piece structure will provide you with some added flex, and this is typically preferred by contact-hitters. If you are more of a power-hitter, I would probably suggest the 2014 Easton S3 BBCOR: (BB14S3). This model will be a one-piece alloy design, and will be able to provide you with a lot of great pop.
Merritt
I am 14, 6'2" and 180 lbs. I got the Easton S1 33" 30 oz. Did I make the right choice? Should I have bought the XL1? chappy
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) is typically better for contact hitters because of its balanced swing weight. The XL1 is better for power hitters because of its end loaded swing weight. The majority of players are more contact hitters and the S1 is usually a better fit.
Jason
If I don't need this bat until spring of next year, can buying it now and letting it sit with out use change its performance? Nate
No, storing the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR: (BB14S1) should not harm the bat or its performance. As long as you are storing it somewhere safe where it is not subject to harm. I would also recommend maybe storing the bat in room temperature just as an added precaution.
Merritt
My son is 5'11" and weighs 180 lbs. He wants to order an Easton S1 33/30. He currently uses a 32/29, but feels he may be outgrowing it. What is your suggestion? Chris
Based on the approximate height and weight provided, I would suggest a 33".
Merritt
I'm 15, 5'9" and I'm 133 lbs. Should I use a 33" or a 32"? jay
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) would be best in a 32" 29 oz. at your size.
Brandon
My son is on the short side. He is 5' 110 lbs. Would you suggest the S1 or S3? Mike
Based on his height and weight, we suggest a 31" model in the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1). The Easton S1 has a slightly lighter swing weight compared to the Easton S3, because of the two-piece composite design. The two-piece design helps increase a players swing speed, and is great for contact hitters.
Jason
I know that both this bat and the DeMarini CF6 are very similar. Which bat has a larger sweet spot? And which bat has better durability? Thanks. Baseball
Both the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) and the DeMarini CF6 (DXCFC) will have the same size sweet spot and they both are very durable models, one is not more durable than the other.
Sean
I am 14 and 5'5. I don't consider myself a contact hitter but I'm also not a power hitter. Is the Easton S1 or Louisville Slugger Attack a better bat for me? Stephen
Both the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR (BB14S1) and the Louisville Slugger Attack are high performance models from their respective manufacturers. They both feature a balanced swing weight, which is great for player who wants to work on bat speed as well as bat control. Both models are great options to go with, the better bat for you will be a matter of brand preference.
Tessa
How long would this bat last? For high school we start practicing in November and the season starts in February. If I practice with this bat from November to February will it still have pop for the season? Donny Steilberg
It is tough to say how long any bat, including the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) will last. With proper bat care, it should last at least a season, if not longer. The composite nature of the bat means that it will need to go through a break in period before it will see its best performance. If properly broken in and taken care of, the bat should be good for use for practice in November til season in February. This model is covered under a 12 month manufacturer warranty through Easton as well, so if it were to become damaged within the 12 months of purchase, you can send it back to Easton for the warranty replacement.
Tessa
Which bat has a lower swing weight, the 2013 Omaha Balanced BBCOR or the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR? Which one will have a longer life span? player
Between the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) and the Louisville Slugger TPX Omaha Balanced BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB136), the S1 will be slightly more well balanced and will have a bit longer lifespan in the peak performance range. Both bats are good BBCOR models though.
Patrick
Does this bat have a stiff or flex feel? joseph
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) will have a flex feel.
Sean
How long is the barrel of this bat in inches? freshman13
The barrel length of the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) can vary based on what length of the bat you get and what you actually consider to be the barrel of the bat. Some people measuring would start at the end cap while others would start lower and some would stop when the taper starts while others would stop where it ends. The main thing is that the S1 has a well sized barrel length.
Patrick
Does this bat need to be broken-in? If so, how? hi
Yes, the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat: (BB14S1) will require a slight break-in. Any type of composite barrel will always need a break-in to help loosen up the composite fibers.Generally, we recommend around 125-150 swings of soft toss, or hitting off of a tee. After each swing, turn the barrel a quarter of an inch each time to help loosen up the fibers all the way around the barrel.
Merritt
Should I use a composite bat in the batting cage? hi
You can use a composite bat like the 2014 Easton S1 (BB14S1) in a batting cage as long as you are hitting real baseballs. If the batting cage uses yellow dimple balls we advise against using a composite bat. The yellow dimple balls are more dense than baseballs and will decrease the durability on the bat.
Sean
I am mainly a contact hitter. Should I get this bat or the DeMarini Voodoo? mavbaseball
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) is a two-piece design with a balanced swing weight and is typically better for contact hitters. The DeMarini Voodoo has an end loaded swing weight and is typically better for power hitters.
Jason
Is this or the DeMarini CF6 more durable? Which bat sustains pop for longer? legend11
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) and the 2014 DeMarini CF6 BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXCFC) are both very durable models and should be roughly the same in terms of sustaining performance.
Patrick
Are there any differences between the 2014 and 2015 S1 BBCOR besides paint job? jruiz
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) and the 2015 S1 are the same bat other than the cosmetic look.
Jason
Would you recommend this bat or the RIP-IT AIR Elite for a contact hitter? pancakes
The RIP-IT AIR Elite and the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) will have very similar balanced swing feels. The major difference is that the AIR Elite will feature an alloy barrel with no break-in period required. The S1 will have a composite barrel and will require a short break-in period.
Brandon
When breaking in this bat, do you have to use real leather baseballs; or can you use plastic baseballs? Jackamatic
We recommend using real, regulation game baseball to break-in the 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB14S1. Check out our recommended process: http://www.justbats.com/blog/index.php/3789/breaking-in-your-composite-baseball-bat.
Mac
What is the difference between the 2014 Easton S1 and the 2012 Easton S1? Matt
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) and the 2012 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB11S1) are very similar to each since they both feature a two-piece fully composite design and a balanced swing weight. The main difference between the two (other than the paint scheme) is that the 2012 model featured the Carbon Nanotube Technology, which was one of the ways they looked to help with the durability of the bat. They moved away from that technology in the 2013 lineup as well as the newest models.
Tessa
I am 5'5" 120 lbs and i am a freshman in high school. I am a contact hitter. what are the main differences between this bat and the 2014 Voo-Doo Overlord? which bat would you recomend? Jaxbutler8@att.net
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) and the 2014 DeMarini Voodoo OVERLORD BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVDC) will be very different bats. The Easton S1 will be a two-piece composite model that will provide a very balanced swing weight. The 2014 Voodoo OVERLORD will be a hybrid model (composite handle/alloy barrel) that will have a slight end load.
Since you consider yourself contact hitter I would recommend going with a balanced model, as most contact hitters prefer a balanced swing weight.
Ben
I am a 5'5" 120lbs and a freshman. Would this bat or the 2014 Mako be a better choice? jaxbutler8
The 2014 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) is going to be very similar to the 2014 Easton Mako BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14MK) in regards to performance and overall durability. Both bats feature a two-piece full composite design. The BB14MK has a thinner handle made out of the SIC Black Carbon composite.
Joe
Is this bat just as evenly weighted as the 2015 or 2014 Mako? Or does it just have a smaller sweetspot than the Mako? Nick
The Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) is not going to have the extended barrel that the Easton Mako bat has. Both the Easton S1 and the Easton Mako are going to be balanced bats.
Frankie
I have a 12.5 year old who is 5'7" and 135 lbs. He has outgrown his 31" model. What size would you recommend for him, if we wanted the bat to last a little longer? baseball mom
For a player of his size, our bat coach would recommend the Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) in a 32" model. However, if you were wanting the bat to last him a little longer, depending on how much you think he might grow, you could definitely consider the 33" 30 oz. model as well.
Joe
Is there a huge difference between the 2013 S1 and the 2014 S1? Ben0692
The Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) is going to be the same as the 2013 S1, except it is going to have updated materials.
Allison
I was wondering if this bat will be available in the 32 inch 29 ounce? Mike
The Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) has been discontinued and we will not be getting anymore in stock.
Frankie
I am a 6' tall and 140 lbs freshman and by no means am I a power hitter. Should I get the 2014 Voodoo OVERLORD or this Easton S1? Jwjvbaseball
The Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) has a balanced swing weight and is a much better fit for a contact hitter. The Voodoo OVERLORD has an end loaded swing weight and is typically better for power hitters. Based on your height and weight, we suggest a 33" model.
Jason
What is the difference between the Easton S1, S2 and S3 along with the Zcore series? Speedy
The Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1), 2015 Easton S2Z ZCORE Baseball Bat (BB15S2Z) and 2015 Easton S3Z ZCORE Baseball Bat (BB15S3Z) are different from one another in their construction. The ZCORE series indicates that the new alloy called the Hyperlite Matrix alloy from Easton is being used. This alloy allows for a longer sweet spot than in previous years while maintaining a good balance and durability.
The S1 is a two-piece fully composite design. The S2Z is a two-piece hybrid design with a composite handle and alloy barrel. The S3Z would be a single-piece all alloy model. These differences in construction are the major differences between the models.
Patrick
My son is 13, 5 foot 8 and weighs 150 pounds. His coach recommends a "senior league" bat, but he will start high school next year. Will this bat be okay for both Senior League players as well as high school? JDubb
The Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) is BBCOr certified which makes it legal for high school play. It will be heavier and more regulated in terms of maximum batted ball speed than a Senior League model. That being said, you could use it but it would not give you an advantage over a Senior League model for use this year. It would, however, get your player more used to what they will be using going forward and give them a longer period that they can use the bat.
Patrick
Is this bat more balanced than the DeMarini NVS 2014? I am kind of indecisive. big papa
The Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) may have a slightly better balanced design than the 2015 DeMarini Vexxum NVS BBCOR Baseball Bat (DXVXC) but, overall, they would both be very balanced.
Patrick
I'm 5'7" tall, weigh 115 pounds, and a lead off hitter. Would this be a good choice for me? del_real
Yes, the Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) is a great choice for a lead off hitter. The S1 is a two piece composite bat that features a balanced swing weight.
Tom
How do I know if the handle is dead? shark
The handle cannot become dead, but if you believe the bat is having a durability issue you will need to contact the manufacturer.
Frankie
I am 5 feet 9 inches tall and weigh about 135 pounds. What size s1 do you think I should purchase? Michael
Based on height and weight, I would suggest a 31 inch size of BBCOR bats like the Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1). Unfortunately, we only have the newer 2015 Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB15S1) in that size.
Patrick
I own this bat and have had it for one year. I started hearing a rattling coming from the inside of the barrel. Do you have any idea what is making this rattling sound and can it effect the performance of the bat? Jose Ruiz
In general a bat like the Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) can develop a rattle for a couple of reasons. One of the most common would be that an excess of glue or epoxy used to seal on the end cap or fuse together the handle and the barrel may have dried and come lose. This will not affect performance of the bat. Another possibility would be a small rock or pebble from the field may have found its way into the bat. Lastly, if the bat's internal layers of composite have been compromised, a piece could have cracked off. This is the most rare circumstance and it would be accompanied by a noticeable drop off in performance.
Patrick
I am 6'2" and weigh 250. What bat size should I use? tyler
We would recommend a 34" in the Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) for a player with your height and weight.
John
I am 5'4 and way 125 lbs. What size should I use? Jesse Baseball
For someone your size, our bat coach recommends using a 31" 29 oz. Unfortunately, we do not have a 31" 29 oz. Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) in stock.
Liz
I'm 5 foot and 140 pounds. What size bat would you recommend? porky
Based on your height and weight I recommend getting the Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) is a 31 inch.
Frankie
I am a 21 year old 5 foot 7, 165 pound, young guy who wants a nice balanced bat (obviously would love to hit home runs) for slow pitch softball and regular baseball. What size would you recommend? Raj
Baseball bats and slow pitch softball bats are completely different and you would not want to use one style of bat for both. If you are getting a baseball bat like the Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) we would recommend a 32 inch size. If you are getting a slow pitch bat you should go with a 34 inch and probably around a 27 ounce size.
Patrick
I am a 5'9" 14 year old and 140 lbs. What bat size should I use? mg
For a player of your height and weight we would recommend going with a 32" Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1).
Cameron
I am 5'11" and 200 lbs moving up to 13U, what is a good drop 3 bat to use? jack
The Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB14S1) is a great bat but is a discontinued model meaning once supplies run out there will not be anymore coming in. With that being said, I would recommend a 32" Easton S1 to allow yourself an easier transition to the BBCOR and drop 3 length-to-weight ratio.
Cameron
I am 5' and need a drop 3 bbcor bat. Which one should I choose? wpank
The Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB14S1 is an excellent, two-piece fully composite design BBCOR Baseball Bat. This bat would be a great choice.
John P.
Can you bring the S1 back? What current bat would this Easton be? Johm
Easton no longer makes the Easton S1 BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB14S1. The current bat that is most similar would be the Easton ADV 360 -3 BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB20ADV.
Cameron
