Easton Softball Bats Slow Pitch

Key Features:

• Focused Flex handle technology for increased power
• Patented ConneXion (CXN) Design System: This 2-piece CXN technology uses "hinge" technology for efficient energy transfer. CXN technology also isolates the handle from the barrel, eliminating vibration and expanding the hitting surface of the barrel.
• Patented Integrated Matrix Technology: This technology is designed to strengthen the bat's composite structure by optimizing the design, process, and materials for maximum performance. Aerospace grade fibers are layered and angled within the bat to maximize the hitting area, provide an extraordinary feel, and to eliminate vibration.
• Laser Precision Manufacturing System: This system minimizes material overlap, removing excess mass from the barrel for lighter moment of inertia and faster swing speeds.
• Carbon Nanotube Technology: Made possible by Zyvex Nanosolve, this technology increased durability in Easton's proprietary resin system in their composite bat and handle designs.

The benefit to great ice hockey sticks is lightweight, durability, and feel of the stick. Eventually you will find easton or sherwood hockey sticks that best suits your game and you will be hooked. Many players try these brands of hockey sticks because of the carbon composite lightweight construction. They are stiffer with more flexible shaft for increase in energy transfer and a quick release for harder and more accurate shots on goal. Keep the difference between a wood and a graphite stick they will feel very different when handling the puck and shooting.

Because it is very competitive in the marketplace you will want to consider buying ice hockey sticks by the dozen like the pros do. I mean who hasn't broken a hockey stick before. Because no two hockey sticks are the same in a dozen you can sometimes order the pattern of blade curve you want. If this is the route you choose then you might want to invest in a small blow torch to assist you in curving the blade of the stick do the curve you desire. Make sure the curve is no more than a quarter coin and that it is "legal" for using in a game situation.

About Easton
In 1922, Doug Easton began crafting custom wood bows and cedar arrows in Watsonville, California. Although Doug produced tournament-grade, footed cedar arrows for the archery champions of that era, he was constantly frustrated with the inconsistency and lack of uniformity of wood shafts. Convinced that consistently straight uniform arrow shafts were impossible to manufacture from wood, Doug turned his attentions to aluminum. In 1939, he began manufacturing aluminum arrows in Los Angeles. His instincts about this material were correct, and in 1941, California archer Larry Hughes won the national championship with a set of Doug's aluminum arrows. This was the beginning of a trend that would change traditional archery and transcend into numerous other sports arenas over the next 50 years.

Today, Jas. D. Easton, Inc. is a privately owned manufacturer, marketer and distributor of sporting equipment, headquartered in Van Nuys, California. It currently employs more than 1,000 people worldwide in various distribution, manufacturing, sales and marketing capacities. Other operations are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mexico and Canada. Easton is considered one of the world's preeminent innovators, designers, and manufacturers of sporting equipment. Much of this success is due to Easton's corporate strategy centered around producing products for the highest level of performance. Throughout its history, Easton has not only grown from within, but through the selective acquisition of other technology-based sporting goods companies.

They say the IMX or Integrated Matrix Technology optimizes composite design, materials and process for maximum performance. With the IMX Easton offers two bats made from the same IMX composite material in two distinct designs. They are the:

Easton

• Stealth IMX 2 piece bat with a flex handle they say increases the trampoline effect. The flex handle has a rating of 75. This has been Easton's traditional bread and butter design for the last several years.The Stealth IMX has a swing weight (m.o.i) of 90 making it more end loaded than the Synergy IMX.
• Synergy IMX 1 piece bat with a stiff handle. Easton added stiff handles to their Stealth Comp bats last year to combat Louisville. They upped the ante in 2009 by making the stiff handle IMX a one piece bat. The handle has a rating of 90. They claim this design provides increased balance and bat control through the hitting zone. The Synergy IMX is aimed directly at the heart of the Louisville baseball bat consumer. As mentioned, an extremely smart move by Easton. The swing weight (m.o.i) is 80 making it more balanced than the Stealth IMX.

Both are quality high grade bats that are by far the most popular new composite bats on the market. You'll see these bats at every age level from youth to college. The Stealth IMX is more popular at the moment which indicates a preference for the 2 piece design. Last year the Stealth Comp stiff handle was more popular than the Stealth Comp flex handle, both Stealth Comp models were 2 piece bats.

The IMX is my top choice for those looking to purchase a high end composite bat.
