How does the weighting compare to the Easton SRV5 or SP12SY98H Helmer of recent years? Hearing these new 2014 Easton Raw Power bats aren't as endloaded as they say. I used a 28oz SRV5 but had to go up to a 30oz 98H. Would like to try the new L6 but don't know if I should get a 28oz like the SRV5 Salvo or a 30oz like the 98H Helmer. How does this new L6 compare? RD26
With these new Easton Softball bats there is two different series, the B-Series and the L-Series. The B-Series offers evenly balanced designs while the L-Series offers a more end-loaded design. The L6.0 has a specific end-load weight called out at the end of its 12 inch barrel: 26oz = 1oz load, 27oz = 2oz load, 28oz = 3oz load. A L6.0 at a 27oz will have a similar feel to a 28oz Salvo SRV5 and a L6.0 at 28oz will have a similar feel to a 30oz 98H Helmer SP12SY98H.
John
Does this take place of the likes of the Salvo? Tom
Yes. The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 is very similar to the Salvo of the past and is a high performing bat. With the new ASA standard, the L6.0 will be a hotter bat and give you the best performance possible.
John
What's the difference between the Easton L4.0 versus this Easton L6.0? As well as, what justifies the $100 price difference? DuBombs
The 2014 Easton L6.0 Slow Pitch's only difference is that it is not a two-piece full composite bat. The 2014 Easton L4.0 will have less sting and have a flex that will add bat speed.
Chad M.
Any concerns with using this bat with the 44/325 balls? Or should it be exclusively used with the 52/300 balls? Zeek
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 features the new ASA stamp and is designed for the lower compression balls (50 or 52 COR). Bats certified under the new testing will be more susceptible to cracks or dents if used with the higher compression softballs (44 or 47 COR).
Mac
Is it legal for a BPF 1.20 USSSA league? alan
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch bat is approved for ASA and ISF play, only. For the a bat with the same technology, that is approved for USSSA, check out the 2014 Easton L5.0: SP13L5.
Mac
I usually swing a Resmondo 28 oz. with the 1 oz. end load, so which weight would you say would be best to pick with this bat since it has the 3 oz. end load, so as not to screw up muscle memory? Bruh21
We recommend a 26 oz. 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch.
Kara
I have a 27 oz. Easton Salvo and I'm trying to decide if the L6 would be similar? Gonz
That would depend on which Salvo you had. The Easton L5.0 replaced the Salvo Comp 100. The Salvo Connexion was replaced by the L7.0. If you had the Salvo Multi-Wall, it was replaced by the L8.0 and the Salvo Scandium was replaced by the L9.0.
John
I have the easton SRV5 salvo 27oz the dark gray and orange bat. What similarities do the SRV5 and the L6 have? Should I go up on ounces so it can conpare to the 27oz i have? gonzo
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch and the Easton Salvo are both one-piece bats that use the same high performing IMX composite material. The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch 27 oz. will have a two ounce end load. The Easton Salvo does not have the full two ounce end load.
Kara
Is the 2014 L6.0 only for ASA or is there one for USSSA? tharp
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch is for ASA and ISF only. Here is a link to the five Easton bats that are approved for USSSA; http://www.justbats.com/products/softball%20bats~slow%20pitch/approved%20for~usssa/vendor~easton/
Kara
Which bat is better, the Easton S2 or the Easton L6.0? jay
Both are great bats. The Easton S2 is a balanced bat with a longer barrel, whereas the Easton L6 is an end loaded bat.
Damon
Is this 98 mph or 100+ mph? Black_Walrus
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch is 100+ mph. The 2014 Easton L4.0 Brett Helmer Pro Model: SP13L4 Slow Pitch is 98 mph.
Kara
How does this bat compare to the 2013 Power Brigade XL2 softball bat? I am receiving the new L6.0 as a warranty replacement from Easton. Both bats are 28 oz. Marcus K
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch bat and Easton XL2: SP13X2 are very similar in design and feel. Both are one-piece in design, constructed of IMX Composite, have 12" barrel lengths, 29/32" handles, and 2 1/4" barrel diameters. The big differences are that the L6.0 will have a more pronounced end loaded swing feel and is ONLY approved for ASA and ISF play.
Mac
I was told the L6 has an ABI shell so it breaks in faster than most bats. Is this true? Adam
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch is a one-piece composite bat and does not have an alloy shell. The 2014 Easton L8.0: SP13L8 Slow Pitch features the alloy shell with a inner composite core. It will not require a break-in.
Kara
Are any of the new L or B series bats able to be used with the .44,375 balls? joe
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch is only ASA certified and would not hold up against the harder .44/375 balls. The 2014 Easton L9.0: SP13L9 Slow Pitch would be a better option.
Kara
How does this compare to the Z-2000? CoryMash
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch is a one-piece bat, so it will not offer as much flex as the Louisville Slugger Z-2000. Both of the bats will be very similar in performance.
Noah
How fast would the L6.0 wear out using .44, 375's? Would it just crack? Would the end cap come off? Mike Hawk
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch is not designed to be used with .44 core balls. The balls can cause the bat to crack.
Kara
How would the bat do with 47 COR balls? Devin
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch, and all bats with the new certification marks, are designed for the softer 50 and 52 COR softballs. If used with the high compression 44 and 47 COR balls, they will be more susceptible to cracking and denting, though they will perform well.
Katie
Does this bat have a USSSA stamp on it? nick
No, the 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch is only approved for ASA and ISF play. It does not feature a USSSA stamp.
Mac
What is the temperature range I shouldn't use this bat in? 3
We recommend not using the 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch in temperatures below 60°F (16°C). The ball itself gets harder in colder temperatures and the bat will be more susceptible to cracking and denting on contact.
Katie
What is the difference between this L6.0 and the L5.0? The specs all read the same. nate b
The only difference is the 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch is ASA approved and the 2014 Easton L5.0: SP13L5 Slow Pitch is USSSA approved.
Kara
About how long will it take to break the bat in? Hunter
We recommend 150-200 hits soft toss or off a tee while you rotate the barrel a quarter inch to break in the 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch bat.
Aubrey
Does this bat have a 3 oz. end load for the 34''/28oz? relentlessJoe
Yes, the 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch has a 3 oz. end load in the 34''/28oz.
Tori
Will all sizes (26,27, 28 oz) have the same 3 oz end load? edward
No, the 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 has a specific end-load weight called out at the end of its 12 inch barrel: 26oz = 1oz load, 27oz = 2oz load, 28oz = 3oz load, 30oz = 4oz load.
Justin R.
What is the difference between the 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch and the 2014 Easton L4.0 Brett Helmer Pro Model: SP13L4 Slow Pitch? poppapumpOC
The Easton L4.0 has a higher quality SIC black carbon composite handle than the Easton L6.0
Damon
Is this bat USSSA approved? Cortez
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 Slow Pitch is only legal for play in ASA and ISF leagues.
John H
Can this bat be used in cold weather? (50-60 degrees) Dale
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) Slow Pitch is a one-piece fully composite design and should not be used in temperatures below 55 degrees. Composite bats are susceptible to cracking in temperatures below 55 degrees.
Jason
I've been using a 2004 Easton Synergy Extended. It has done well for the years but with the ball change I'm in need of a new bat. I'm a contact hitter with good power. Would you recommend this bat, or possibly another style? Open to all style of bats, balance or end loaded. adance
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) is a great option for you. The end loaded swing weight is a good choice for a player with power.
Kara
Is this a Senior Softball slow pitch bat with a 1.21 thumb print? Jax
The 2014 Easton L6.0: (SP13L6) Slow Pitch bat is not a Senior Softball certified model. It is approved for play in ASA and ISF. For all of the Senior Softball certified bats we carry that feature the BPF 1.21 performance certification, check out this link: http://goo.gl/rfUaq0
Mac
What is the difference between the 6.0 and the Brett Helmer 4.0? I bat right handed and I hit a lot of gap line drives. I also target right field a lot, and hit one homerun per game (most of the time) on a 320 foot field. I was swinging my buddy's Brett Helmer 4.0 28oz end loaded and really fell in love with it last season, but the 6.0 is much cheaper. Garv
The difference between this 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) Slow Pitch bat and the Easton L4.0 (SP13L4) is that the L4.0 features the higher quality SIC Black Carbon composite handle. Both bats will have similar end loads, are both approved for ASA and ISF play, and feature IMX Composite barrels. The L4.0 would offer improved energy transfer to the ball on contact, but the L6.0 would be a great choice.
Mac
I'm trying to decide between the L6.0 and the B3.0. What are the differences? Which is the more quality bat? Tee
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6 Slow Pitch) is a one-piece, end loaded bat that features Easton's top of the line IMX composite. The B3.0 is a two-piece, balanced model that features the SIC Black Carbon Composite handle and IMX composite barrel. The L6.0 would be ideal for a power hitter. The B3.0 would be best suited for a contact hitter.
Justin R.
how long would it take to ship to Australia kyle
2014 Easton L6.0 "SP13L6" Slow Pitch bat, unfortunately we do not ship outside the United States currently.
Kyle
What's the difference between this one and the green 6.0? Diamonddawgs
The 2014 Easton L6.0: SP13L6 and the new L6.0 (green) feature the same IMX composite materials. Both bats are slightly end loaded.
Kara
What temperature may this bat crack in? kk
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6 Slow Pitch) bat is recommended for play in 60 degree temperatures and above.
Brandon
I usually use a 27 or 28 oz end loaded, so which Easton L6.0 would you recommend, the 26, 27, or 28 oz.? johnny
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) is also slightly end loaded. We recommend using a 28 oz. bat.
Kara
is this a good bat for a over 50 league?. it has to be ASA approved. But I don't want to drop over $200 for a bat that I'm only going to use for about 15 or 20 games a year. But I need a bat that can put something on the ball. kchappy
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) would be a great option to go with. It features a one-piece fully composite design, so it will require a break in period of around 150-200 swings. Once it has been broken in properly, this bat will continue to get hotter over time until eventually, it would either break, become damaged or go dead. The end loaded swing weight makes this bat a great option for a power hitter looking to really step up his game.
Tessa L.
I know somebody who got one of your bats, but it was a 26oz with a 2.5oz endload but for the life of me I can't seem to find it. Do you do special orders or is this possibly something that was done to the bat after purchase? Salvo my problem
2014 Easton L6.0: "SP13L6" Slow Pitch does not come in a 2.5 ounce end loaded weight. The heaviest end loaded bats we have are going to be 1.5 ounces. We also do not do any special orders.
Kyle
was this bat designed for the .44 or .52 cor? imjivan
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) Slow Pitch has the new ASA stamp which is designed for the .52 core 300 compression balls.
Damon
After playing for a year, and using other peoples bats I figured it was time to buy my own. I have used a few different bats that have belonged to my teammates. I'm not sure about the exact models. However, they were all 28 oz. Would you recommend I get the L6.0 in the 27 oz. or 28 oz.? mac
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) is an end loaded bat. We recommend a 27 oz. bat that has a 2 oz. end load.
Kara
I really liked the XL2 but they discontinued that bat. Is this bat similar to it? If not, do you know of a bat that is closest to the XL2? mjfan
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) is the most similar to the XL2. It is a one-piece composite design that is slightly end loaded. They both use the same IMX composite materials.
Kara
Is the Easton L6.0:SP13L6 similar to the Easton Salvo? Is the Easton L6.0:SP13L6 eligible to be used in NSA? Wolf in sheeps clothing
The 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) replaced the Easton Salvo. It is similar in feel and performance. It is not legal in NSA.
Kara
When will you get more of the 27oz bats? I love this bat but the 28oz is a bit too heavy and the 26 oz is too light. stephd01
Unfortunately we are not reordering this exact model. The new version of 2014 Easton L6.0 (SP14L6) will be reordered soon.
Jackson
Do you have an NSA or USSSA Easton Bat that is similar to the L6.0? wolf in sheeps clothing
The 2014 Easton LX.0 (SP14LX) and the 2014 Easton L5.0 (SP14L5) would be the closest models available that meet both NSA and USSSA standards.
Patrick
I'm looking at buying either the 2014 L8.0 or the L6.0. What are the advantages to both? Josh
The biggest difference between the 2013 Easton L6.0: (SP13L6) and 2014 Easton L8.0: (SP13L8) is going to be the materials that are used in its construction. The 2014 Easton L8.0: (SP13L8) will be a one-piece alloy design and will start out extremely hot, but will eventually fade out over time. The 2013 Easton L6.0: (SP13L6) will be a one-piece composite design and this material tends to start out a little slower, but will heat up during its lifetime. Both models will be end-loaded, and will have a stiff feel because they are both a one-piece. Ultimately, it will come down to which material you prefer.
Merritt
Is this a single wall bat? adamfortin
The 2013 Easton L6.0 (SP13L6) is not a single wall bat.
Kara
can this bat be sent in to get the usssa stamp on it? rich
No, the reason the Easton L6.0 Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP13L6) does not carry a USSSA stamp as it did not pass their compliance test. This bat is only approved for ASA and ISF play.
Bobby
What is the difference between the L1.0 and the L6.0? What do the numbers signify? Arrrrg
The models are very different. The 2014 Easton L1.0 Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP14L1) is a two-piece design that is approved for USSSA play and the 2014 Easton L6.0 Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP14L6) is a one-piece design that is approved for ASA play. The numbers indicate the difference in model style.
Patrick
I have this bat and the league I play in says bat must meet BPF 1.20. I doesn't appear to say this on the barrel. Is it over the 1.20? I am bummed out because I believe I had the Salvo, and it broke quickly. They stopped carrying the Salvo, so they sent me this saying this was comparable. However, I believe the Salvo was 1.20 BPF, and this is not so I don't think I can use this bat. Can't seem to find any info online. dave
Unfortunately, unless your league tests each bat itself, you won't be able to use this Easton L6.0 Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP13L6). The USSSA certification tests for the BPF (Bat Performance Factor), but the ASA test is completely different. It seems your league would require the USSSA stamp. Easton produces this kind of design that is BPF 1.20 certified, but it's the 2014 Easton L5.0 Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP14L5).
Mac
What is the difference of the Easton L6.0 and the Easton LX.0? Jose
This Easton L6.0 Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP13L6) will be very similar to the Easton LX.0 Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP14LX). However, it appears this L6.0 was made for 2013 while the LX.0 was made for 2014. The bats have slightly differing certification stamps (LX.0 is certified for ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, and ISF). The LX.0 had a full 12 month warranty with Easton and this L6.0 had only a 6 month warranty. Lastly, the bats had different looks to them as well.
