Every year, bat manufacturers are champing at the bit to compound what they learned from the previous season, through research and players, so they can get into the “laboratory” and make next year’s hottest bat.
If there’s one Easton slowpitch softball bat we need to turn your attention to for this upcoming spring, it’s the 2023 Limited Edition POW 12.75” Endloaded 2PC Easton Slowpitch Softball Bat. It is one of the best Easton softball bats in the game right now, and it is selling fast here at HB Sports.
Here’s everything you need to know about this game-changing Easton slowpitch bat.
Fire Flex Technology Creates Unmatched Pop, for HOTW (Hot Out of The Wrapper Performance)
As you may know, it’s a common perception among players that you need to warm up with composite bats - in other words, you need to break them in - before they can unlock their true potential.
This isn’t entirely unjustified. Composite bats are made with interlocking layers of composite fiber material that does stretch and form itself on impact, with, say, a pitch. Composite bats can be broken in, and they do have a viable, usable lifespan.
But manufacturers have been hard at work trying to develop technology to counter this and Easton has done a standup job. Their Fire Flex technology promises hot performance out of the wrapper, with little to no break-in required.
Fire Flex technology features Easton’s Second Generation Flex Barrel Technology with a compression between 240 and 250, which means you can swing for the fences with your first stop up to home plate.
It Features Exclusive Full Ounce End Loads
Sick of those half-ounce end loads that accompany so many softball bats? Don’t be - just upgrade your repertoire to a model that has a full-ounce end load like the new 2023 POW Easton Slowpitch Softball Bat.
The bat is available in 25, 26, and 27-ounce configurations and is 34 inches long. The heaviest of these offers serious swing weighting that power hitters just love.
Let’s put it this way - it’s one of the best-selling Easton slowpitch bats on our website for a reason. Obviously, some of that has to do with the fact that only so many have been made, but it’s also due to engineering.
Imagine a bat that offers hot performance out of the wrapper and has a killer, full-ounce end load so you can drive unbelievable power through every swing. That is this Easton softball bat encapsulated.
Its CXN Max Connection Helps Corral Mishits
Every player’s worst nightmare is an unexpected mishit that you thought would be a home run. Just a slight aberration at the last second and contact with the sweet spot morphs into a mishit, a glancing blow or a strike ever-so-slightly closer to the bat’s grip.
Then comes the pain. Those vibrations that rise out of mishits are something from another world. Training can take you so far, as can bat grip tape and batting gloves. But at a certain point, there’s only so much you can do.
Besides, it’s the pitcher's job to fool you, swindle you into batting fouls, and coerce you into mishits. That’s part of the game. You need to be able to roll with the punches, so to speak.
Well, that may be the pitcher’s job, but it’s the bat manufacturer’s job to produce a bat that is less painful in those less-than-perfect contact scenarios.
Easton’s CXN MAX Connection, featured in this Easton softball bat, takes as much discomfort out of mishits as possible. It dampens vibration without deadening feedback, so you have a bat that is sensitive and responsive, that won’t make it feel like you took a jackhammer to the wrists if your swing is just a bit off.
It’s Approved for Play in a Number of Leagues
This new-for-2023 Easton slowpitch bat is approved for USSSA, NSA, and ISA leagues and tournaments. Just note this: if you roll or shave it, it will not be eligible for competition in those leagues.
Only 600 Have Been Made - So Do Not Delay
To wrap it all up, this bat features an unreal end load, connection technology that helps to wrangle wild vibrations stemming from mishits, and is engineering for hot performance out of the wrapper with minimal break-in.
The bat is also dripping with swag, and only 600 of these things have been made. If you’re thinking about getting one, stop thinking and start doing. They’re selling fast on our website and won’t be around forever.
