Baseball Bat Duel: Easton S Series vs. Easton XL Series

eastonxlvssseriesWhen it comes to baseball bats, Easton is royalty. For more than 40 years, Easton has been an industry leader in developing innovative new technologies and outfitting ballplayers with high-performing bats. Today, we take a look at the 2013 Easton S Series and XL Series and compare their differences and why they might be the right bat for you.

Easton S Series:

The Easton S Series is a great bat for contact hitters. It has a balanced swing weight, so it’ll help hitters who have trouble generating their own power to increase their bat speed. There are four designs in the S Series: The S1, S2, S3 and S4.

The S1 is a two-piece bat with a composite handle and barrel and available in BBCOR, Senior League, Youth and Jr. Big Barrel designs. The S2 is a two-piece hybrid with a composite handle and alloy barrel and available in BBCOR, Senior League and Youth designs. The S3 is a one-piece alloy and available in BBCOR, Senior League and Youth designs. The S4 is a one-piece alloy with a 2 ½” barrel diameter and available in BBCOR.

Easton XL Series:

The Easton XL Series is an ideal bat for a power hitter who can generate their own bat speed. It has a slight end load and an extended barrel which creates an incredibly large sweet spot. There are three designs in the XL Series: XL1, XL2 and XL3.

The XL1 is a two-piece bat with a composite barrel and handle and available in BBCOR, Senior League and Youth designs. The XL2 is a two-piece hybrid bat with a composite handle and alloy barrel and available in BBCOR, Senior League and Youth designs. The XL3 is a one-piece alloy and available in BBCOR, Senior League and Youth designs.

So the choice is yours. Two very high-performing lines from Easton that will take your game to new levels. You can find them all at JustBats.com where we have a 24/7 in-house customer service team who are happy to answer all your questions and give you advice on which Easton is best for you.
