Reviews
Average Ratings Based on 25 Customer Reviews
Pros: The ping is comparable to the CAT 7. The sweet spot is huge. I really like the feel of the 1.4mm hyper skin grip. Easton is giving marucci cat 7 and Rawlings VELO a run for their money in the all alloy space.
Cons: I'll never understand why everyone keeps using white cosmetics. It gets dirty way too easy but whatever... it's a bat.
Pros: I bought it when it came out, and I'm very surprised on how well it turned out to be. I do not normally like one piece alloy bats, but this one has a ton of pop and you get almost no vibration. I also like the looks of the bat, the gold accents look amazing.
Cons: The only thing wrong is the grip tape. If you do not have the best batting gloves, the grip will get dirty and got a little bit slippery, but this is easily fixed with buying a lizard skin.
Pros: Well built and balanced swings lighter than a similar drop -5. First two games wit it three singles a double. When you hit it on the sweet spot, it is one of the loudest bats out there. It quickly became the favorite bat if the team's top batters.
Cons: The white grip gets dirty in no time. Why not use a white, gold and black pattern?
Pros: excellent pop. not as loud is the cat seven but ball travels futher. they say its a balanced bat but more end loaded than the cat 7 and velo still extreamly smooth to swing .The barrel is massive for alloy . feels more like a drop five when you swing . . Hot Right out of the wrapper
Cons: the white grip was so dumb . Sure it looks great before you use it lol but cheap fix i guess
Pros: I was very scared to put this much money into an end loaded bat. It was money well spent. The pop is unreal on this bat. Zero vibration and solid power.
Cons: The white grip gets dirty really quick. Had to change it immediately.
Pros: One piece bats are the way to go. This bat is well priced and comparable to the Cat7. Larger barrel than the Cat7. Ready to go out of the package with no break in required. Once piece bats are the choice of most college players now. Excellent bat in every respect
Cons: white grip
Pros: Lot of pop, very balanced
Cons: White grip
Pros: Most of the reviews are accurate. The bat is balanced well so it doesn't really feel like a -3, more like a -5. It has a large sweet spot and has great pop... the ball flies off the bat as well as anything else we have used. Some dislike the white scheme, I happen to think it us unique and looks pretty cool. Bottom line, for $200... you won't get a better bat!
Cons: If any, the handle tape lacks grip when wet. I would recommend this bat but would suggest removing the stock tape and replacing it with Lizard Skin tape. It's cheap and offers great grip ability.
Pros: price. look.. this is easton's option for a 1 piece, alloy, bbcor, balanced bat. it competes with rawling 5150 and velo lousiville slugger Omaha 518 $ solo 618 dmarni voodoo 1 marcucci cat 7 my son (5'3", 92 lbs) swung the 31 inch version all of these bats at a local shop except the solo 618 which aparently is impossible to get. i asked his opinion after each. out of all of them he hit best with the speed x...so that is great for him. better for me because the speed x is $50-$100 less than most of it's peers. it is hard to judge sweet spots, but this bat seems to have a bigger barrel than the others. gotta put just bats as a pro. fast shipping and easy ordering/paying.
Cons: it's a 1 piece bat. if you get jammed, you will know it and it will tingle. He hates it, but i find it hard to put this as a con because all 1 piece alloy bats do this. He said it didn't feel as balanced as the velo and again he never had a chance to swing the solo 618. grip tape isnt the most comfortable and is thin.
Pros: I ordered this bat on a Tuesday and it came in that next Monday (standard shipping) The bat is very balanced. Swings are just more comfortable. The pop on the bat is like a cat 7 but i find it better. All of the players on the team have gravitated towards this bat after hitting with it once. The grip gets a bit dirty but feels good, and the alloy really makes the ball fly. Even people with cat 7s like this one better!
Cons: No cons
Pros: My son never hit home runs, but with this bat he has hit several during practice. He is easily to complain about various bats, gloves, etc, no complaints and that's a good sign!
Cons: Gets dirty and paint is easy to chip.
Pros: Bat looks great out of box changed grip right away. Ball jumps off bat crisp line drives and great carry to the gaps. Excellent bat for this price point.
Cons: White grip not real popular with players. Ping is very loud inside, ear plugs a must for cage pitchers.
Pros: good pop right out the box
Cons: white grip. had for two weeks already dirty
Pros: Good pop off the bat. Bat get through the Zone quick. Moved to Drop - 3 for highschool. swings like -5 from a year ago
Cons: nothing as of now
Pros: my son's excitement upon receiving the bat. The reviews help so much thank you!
Cons: none as of yet
Pros: Swings like a drop -5 Swinging a 31in -3 hit a dinger lefty and righty would buy again
Cons: none so far except that the bat grip gets dirty
Pros: This bat was used in 25-30 degree Temps for two weeks for unseasonably cold weather High school baseball. Out of the Box the bat was ready. The ball was flying off this bat (Easton Beast Speed). Comparing to other kids on Both teams the ball was not flying off their bats in the cold. Just can't wait to see what it does in warm weather. Barrel is very forgiving on missed hits Balance is Nice. Much better at protecting the plate down in the count. Speed, Catching up to those fastballs . I'm talking 85-93 mph HS pitching we see in our league Design is Sweet. Best looking bat, (we don't share!) Most Important. Confidence. The performance this bat will provide to the Player and what can be considered the most important tool is Confidence! Confidence at the plate!! The kids know of they do their job the Easton Beast X Speed will do it's job.
Cons: I don't Fret over White bat grips. I see reviews where people complain about white bat grips. I don't want a pretty boys on my team. I want players not afraid of a little dirt and in for the grind. Apparently those folks crying about white on the bat. Obviously never used Pine tar, BEES WAX, Tiger Stick on bat.
Pros: good bat
Cons: white grips get dirty quick
Pros: I wish y'all could use this bat in the majors.
Cons: Get this bat it is a Smooth bat.
Pros: Bat is performing as reviews have said. Ball comes off pretty quick, great balance and swing. Purchased for my 13 yr old grandson, he did not like the new bat requirements going to USA bats this year, no pop at all. Did not think he could make the jump to -3 BBCor so early, but with some adjustments, he and his teammates have made the change and this bat performs awesome. First game using it you could tell the pop was great, one player hit a HR and my grandson had a triple off it as well. He says the swing is great and balanced, the proof is in the pudding. This is our first all alloy bat as we have been using composite up until the new rules, but this bat performs.
Cons: None so far.
Pros: Bat doesnt sound anywhere near a cat 7 and falls 30 ft short of others bats in use. The ball doesnt fly off of this bat . Dont waste your money theres a good reason why it cost 50 dollars less than last week
Cons: na
Pros: i think its all been said already, i purchased this bat fir my grandson based on reviews, he is not disappointed!
Cons: White tape on handle but its really not a big deal!
Pros: Cheap
Cons: best bat there
Pros: Lots of pop, big sweet spot, rarely any sting
Cons: Grip can be uncomfortable and gets dirty.
Pros: Great bat. Definitely recommend it. I know this bat says its not a big home run bat, just for contact hitters, but this thing drives the ball far.
Cons: The grip. Its like a lizard skin grip, which i hate. I use a cheap 2 dollar tape for ace hardware that has pine tar on the outside so it comes sticky.
