or
Does it meet the 1.15 BPF standard? chris
This bat does meet the BPF 1.15 standard.
Brett
The picture of the bat has the USSSA BPF 1.15 stamp on it. So it is legal for next year correct? Tournament Dad
Yes. It has the USSSA BPF 1.15 stamp on the barrel. It is legal under USSSA new standards.
JH
is the new rival xxl better than the older one? Mr. Boom Bostick
It depends on who you aska and what their idea of "better" is. The new Rivals are made with a stronger alloy and a slightly longer barrel. The old Rivals may have been just a little better performing through. However, I've heard a lot of player say that they think both are on the same level in terms of performance.
Mark
can i use this bat in senior league/baberuth league? liam
As far as we know this bat would be legal, but I would double check with your coach to verify if they allow 2 3/4" barrels.
John
is this bat bbcor? trevv
This is not a BBCOR bat. All BBCOR bats will be a -3 adult bat and it will have the BBCOR stamp on the bat and say that it is BBCOR certified in the description.
Todd
is this bbcor approved brucerockss
This bat is not going to BBCOR approved. In order to be BBCOR approved a bat will have to be a -3 length to weight ratio and stamped BBCOR.
John
No. Only adult bats are required to meet the BBCOR certification. This is a youth big barrel (Senior League) bat that is not governed by the BBCOR standard.
John
Need to know if this bat is composite, because of my son plays in a league that it's not allowed. Omar
This bat is 100% alloy and contains no composite.
Derek
Is this rival better than the -10 blue rival that is a big barrel? d-pain
It is the exact same bat. The only difference is the drop.
Kara
Looking for Easton BV15XL , 2 3/4 ,-9 . Similar to BG11xl. what are the differences between the 2 and will you carry BV15XL? We have one now but need to upgrade to USSSA. Thanks Coach Dad
The BV15XL has been discontinued by Easton and replaced with the BG11XL. The only difference is the BG11XL features an upgraded alloy for better durability and performance. Other than that, both bats are the same.
Derek
about how many cuts does it take 2 dent? reseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Unfortunately, there's not a set number of swings that determines the time in which a bat will dent. I've heard from customers who have used the Rival for well over 500 hits with no issues.
Derek
Is it US made ? Sim
The Easton Rival is made in China.
Todd
IS this a BBCORE bat? Marc4
No. This is a Senior League bat and is not BBCOR certified. Only Adult baseball bats are required to meet the BBCOR standard. For BBCOR bats, go to our website and click the "Adult Bats" link for BBCOR bats.
TJ
Does this bat come in smaller sizes...like 27/17, etc?? Mike b
Yes. However, the Rival is being replaced by the S3 so we will not be getting anymore Rivals in stock.
Kara
Is this approved for USABL????? Easton fan
Everything I have been reading states that the barrel of the bat may not be bigger than 2 5/8". This is a 2 3/4" barrel bat and may not be approved. Double check with your league to verify.
KG
In comparing the Rival bats, what is the difference between "BD" and "BG" models Brian
The BG models are going to be the 2 3/4" models while the BD is the 2 5/8" models.
John
So the USSSA stamp makes it legal for USSSA tourney play at 12u... but is it legal for Pony play at 12u? AJ
Pony League doesn't allow 2 3/4 inch barrels. This would only be allowed in USSSA.
Kara
As per several of the questions preceeding mine, there is NOT a USSA stamp on this bat. I purchased this unit based on your specs which emphasised that a stamp was present. I do not want to enter play and be challenged on it's specs. Phil
When the ruling came down on the USSSA official stamp, the manufacturers already had many of their products already on the shelves with the previous requirements met. If the bat you have has the old stamp, which is more just wording, not a watermark stamp. They are being grandfathered in for 1 yr, in 2013 all bats will require the official stamp. With this bat particularly, the ones that do have the official stamp, the stamp was done on the black part of the bat which makes it hard to see. If you need more info, just give us a call and we can explain it in more detail.
Linda
Where is the 1.15 Stamp? Scott
The stamp should close to the E on Easton on the taper. It will be engraved on the bat and is tough to see without good lighting.
KG
The 2012 USSSA rules state that bats must "have the New USSSA Mark prominently and permanently displayed on their taper". While the mark on this bat is permanent it is not very "prominent". Is it still legal? Guy
Yes, this bat is still legal
John
We've purchased this bat from you and my son wants to go to the batting cages. That means rubber coated baseballs instead of real ones. What are your recommendations as to whether or not to use this in the cages? J
All alloy bats can handle those batting cage balls better than alloy. But even then, if he uses it in games, I would be cautious with it in the cages. Those rubber balls are compressed so much they are actually very hard on bats, expecially composite bats.
Linda
There is no consistency to your answers for these 2 bats. Are they USSSA certified for 14U with the new stamp (no grandfathering) and are they alloy? Some of your responses are that they're composite. Other responses are that they carry an older stamp and cannot be used in 2013. Once and for all - what is the true story on this bat and the Demarini offered in this bat package? Confused
First, as to the the question regarding the USSSA stamp. Unfortunately, many manufacturers already had their bats on the shelves, when the ruling for the marking was handed down, so some do not have the mark, but are legal which is why some with the old markings are being grandfathered in. Most of those have been dealt with already. The ones we have on our shelves DO have the marking, it is on the black part of the handle and kind of faint to see, but is definitely there. Second, as to what this bat is made of, this Rival is 100% alloy, there is NO composite materials in it at all. I hope that clarifies things for you.
Linda
is the usssa stamp put on in a way that it wont be worn off with hitting heather
Yes, the rival has the stamp engraved on the bat
John
Does this bat come in 29 inch size. ellie
We do not have the 29" size in stock, this is an older model so we will not be getting any more in
Sean
Is this bat allowed in travel leagues and middle school ball and is it composite? Cooper Smith
This glove will be legal for most travel ball leagues, it is not a composite bat
Sean
Does this bat qualify for middle school ball in Georgia cooper smith
Since all schools have different rulings. My suggestion would be to check with your middle school coach. Because some middle schools must abide by high school rules, and if that is the case where you are, this bat will not be legal.
Linda
I don't see the stamp for BPf 1.15 standard? Can Easton put the stamp on there? My son plays 11U travel and has to have the stamp! Charlotte
The bats we have in stock do have the stamps. They will be located right about the grip.
John
I purchased one of these bats from another site and it it does not have the stamp on it. If this does on the Just bats site but mine does not, does it still mean mine is legal? Gene
If your bat doesn't have the USSSA stamp then it will not be legal. All of the Rival's we have in stock have the USSSA stamp.
Kara
what is the difference in b a 2 3/4 and 2 5/8. first time buying a bib barrell bat. dmsdawgs
The barrel size is the only difference. The 2 3/4 barrels tend to have a little bigger sweet spot.
Kara
The picture shows the usssa thumb print stamp on the taper but you state it does not have the stamp that some leagues require. Does this bat have the 2012 usssa thumb print as shown in the far right picture of the alternate pics? tripp
This bat now has the USSSA stamp. Disregard other answers.
KG
Where are you located? tgon
We are located in Kansas City, Missouri.
Kara
does this bat meet Youth League baseball bat requirements Ray
This bat has a 2 3/4" barrel. If you are playing youth baseball and seing 2 1/4", then no, this bat would not meet youth league requirements
Ryan
Could i use this on a 12u travel team in Illinois for 2012 Big Man
Every league has different rules. We suggest you contact your local league official for clarification.
KB
Do you have to rotate the bat after every at bat or hit? Logan
I always recommend doing that no matter what type of bat you're using. This will help ensure that not all the wear and tear occurs in the same side of the bat.
Tyler
Is this bat considered a BBCOR certified bat? Coach
No this bat is not BBCOR certified. It meets all USSSA certifications but is not BBCOR and thus not legal for the high school level and above.
Tyler M
will you be getting this bat in a 30in 21oz? rece
The Rival has been discontinued and replaced by the XL3 and S3. We will not be getting any more Rivals in stock.
Tyler
is this bat bbcor certified? lisa
No. Senior League bats like this one are not eligible for the BBCOR certification. BBCOR only applies to Adult baseball bats.
Tyler
Is this bat legal for thirteen year old Babe Ruth? jake
This bat would not be legal for use in a 13 year old Babe Ruth league. Rules for that league state the barrel diameter must not exceed 2 5/8 inches, and this one does. The Easton Rival model that would be legal for use in your league can be found here: http://www.justbats.com/product/easton-rival-xxl--bd11xl-senior-league/13071/
Jennifer
my son is 8 and is in coach pitch now but will be in kid pitch next year, he is a good contact hitter is this the bat for him or will it be to big? shane
For your average 8 year old, I would recommend a 28 or 29 inch bat with a weight between 16 and 19 ounces. Based on the sizes we have in stock for the BG11XL, I would say it's a little too big.
Tyler
is this bat a new bbcor licensed bat. miles
The BG11XL is certified for play in the USSSA leagues. Only the -3 bats that are used in High School and College feature the BBCOR certification. Here is a link to all the bats that feature the BBCOR certification. http://www.justbats.com/products/?s=bbcor
Derek
My son is 12 and needs a bat with BPF 1.15 stamp. Is this a good choice? rob
The Easton Rival XXL: BG11XL has the BPF 1.15 stamp. It would be an excellent choice for a twelve year old.
Kara
Is Easton Rival and DeMarini Vexxum certified for USSSA and BBCOR? keith
No one bat will have the USSSA certification and be BBCOR approved. Only adult -3 bats will carry the BBCOR certification mark and senior league bats will never have that certification. The same goes for adult bats not having the USSSA stamp on them. There are models of the Rival and the Vexxum that have these certifications, but there will be two separate models for each certification.
Jennifer
Is it BBCOR? jason
This bat is not BBCOR approved. Only adult -3 bats will carry that certification. If you are looking for the BBCOR approved model, it can be found here: http://www.justbats.com/product/easton-rival-bbcor--bg2-adult/13061/.
Jennifer
Does it have the USSSA stamp? JERNIE42
The Easton Rival XXL: BG11XL does have the USSSA stamp. If you look at the small pictures on this webpage you will be able to see the stamp etched into this bat.
Jennifer
My son will be at the 15U USA Baseball Championships in Florida. A bat must be a BBCOR or a BESR non-composite bat. What are the best bats in this category? John C
Some of our best selling BBCOR bats are any of Easton's Power Brigade line (S series or XL series), the Marucci Black, the 2012 DeMarini Voodoo, or the 2012 Louisville Slugger Omaha. Depending on what type of hitter your son is, all of these will be great bats to consider.

The BG11XL is an alloy bat and is approved for Little League.
Tyler

The Easton Rival XXL BG11XL is not BBCOR approved, to be BBCOR approved bat must have a -3 length to weight ratio
Sean
Is this bat leagal for Cal Ripken travel ball? corbieno
The Cal Ripken division does not allow bats with barrels bigger than 2 1/4 inches in diameter. The BG11XL is a big barrel bat and would not be legal.
Tyler
What is the big difference between a Rival and a Surge? Is this bat legal for Little League? chris
The Easton Rival XXL is a one-piece all alloy bat. The Easton Surge is a two-piece bat with a composite handle and an alloy barrel. The Easton Surge will have more flex than the Easton Rival.

Will you have additional sizes in stock other than the 32" in the near future? EEZRYD
Since the Easton Rival XXL is an older model, we will not be getting any more additional sizes. The Easton S3 and XL3 replaced the Rival.
