or
My son is 12 yrs and has always used -10 length to weight ratio bats. Generally speaking, at what age should he begin transitioning to -8 (and eventually -5) length to weight ratio? Kevin
We would generally recommend the 2018 Easton Beast X -8 USA Baseball Bat: YBB18BX8 for a 7th grader (13 year old) and moving to a -5 (14 year old) model when in 8th grade.
Cameron
My son coaches a Little League team. He doesn't like the Easton bats (as two of his kids had Easton bats and they broke). Do you stand behind your bats? Jim
All Easton bats (like this 2018 Easton Beast X -8 USA Baseball Bat: YBB18BX8) have a full 12 month manufacturer's warranty period. If the bat were to break on you within 12 months of the purchase date, you would be eligible to send the bat back to Easton for a warranty replacement bat. If your Easton bat was ordered from JustBats, we would assist you with directions for beginning the warranty replacement from Easton and would also get you a free UPS shipping label to send the bat to Easton in order to get the warranty replacement bat.
Ben
Is this bat stamped USA Baseball so it can be used in 2018 spring baseball? michele
Yes, the 2018 Easton Beast X -8 USA Baseball Bat: YBB18BX8 features the USA Baseball certification.
Jason
Is this a BBCOR bat? LT
The 2018 Easton Beast X -8 USA Baseball Bat (YBB18BX8) does NOT feature the BBCOR certification. This model features the new USA Baseball (USABat) certification and is approved for play in AABC, Babe Ruth, Cal Ripken, Dixie Youth, Little League, and Pony.
JP
My son is 12 years old and has been successfully using the Combat Maxum -8 for travel/club baseball. It has a balanced swing weight. Are there any balanced-swing bats being sold in a -8 that are approved for Little League? I see that the Easton Beast X -8 and the Easton Ghost -8 are both end-weighted. Sunnie
We currently only carry three options that would be a balanced bat in -8 drop. They are the 2018 Easton S450 (YBB18S4508), the 2018 Rawlings Raptor (US8R8), and the 2018 Easton S550 (YBB18S5508).
Kyle J.
Can this bat be used in middle school baseball? Cricket
Middle school leagues vary across the country. With that being said, the 2018 Easton Beast X -8 USA Baseball Bat: YBB18BX8 will be approved for all USA Baseball certified leagues. However, this will not be allowed to be used in any league requiring a BBCOR baseball bat.
Tyler
My son has been hitting a 32"/-10 but has grown quite a bit since last year. He is 12 yrs old, 5"7' and 165 lbs. Would this be a good option? We were also looking at the Axe Elite -5 and the Solo. We are open to anything. JT
Yes, I think this bat would certainly be a good option since you will be eventually having to use BBCOR bats in high school, so transition models like a -8 or -5 are good options for player to start using eventually. All of the models you mentioned are great choices, and I think it comes down to personal preference on which one would perform better.
Kyle J.
What size bat do you recommend for a 13 year old. He's 90 pounds and 61 inches. First year in Babe Ruth. Looking at the Easton Beast X in a 31' 23oz. Wondering if it's the right size for him? baseball mom
I would recommend the 2018 Easton Beast X -8 USA Baseball Bat: YBB18BX8 in a 31" length. Typically, I recommend 7th graders to swing a -8 and 8th graders to swing a -5. This allows for a smooth transition into the high school -3 BBCOR bats. I would recommend the 2018 Easton Beast X -5 USA Baseball Bat: YBB18BX5 if you decide to swing a -5.
Dan
I am looking for a -8 for my son 12 yr old, 5, 2" Would you recommend this bat or the anderson techzilla? Frank
The Anderson Techzilla we have would be a -9, so if you're wanting a -8 bat for your player, I would suggest the 2018 Easton Beast X -8 USA Baseball Bat: YBB18BX8.
