John
Other than drop weight, what is the difference between this and the Demarini CF7 2 5/8 inch diameter drop 8 Senior league bat? Does either have a larger sweet spot? glynn
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) and the 2015 DeMarini CF7 Senior League Baseball Bat (DXCFR) will be very similar by design but the MAKO will have a slightly longer barrel which will give it a slightly larger sweet spot but not by a large margin.
Patrick
What size should I use if I am 5" and weigh 100 lbs? gav
Based on your height and weight, we recommend a 30" 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9).
Tessa
Does the CF7 or the MAKO have more pop? ang
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) and the DeMarini CF7 are very comparable bats. It is difficult to say that one has more pop than the other because they are so similar and both have the USSSA 1.15 BPF stamp. It really comes down to preference in manufacturer to determine which bat is best for you.
Jason
What size should I use if I'm 5 foot 7 and weigh 115 pounds? tran4617

Patrick
What is the difference between the 2014 Easton Mako Senior League bat and the 2015 Easton Mako Senior League bat? word1992
The main difference between the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) and the 2014 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14MKB) is the newer, more durable composite used in the 2015 model.
Allison
What size should my son use. He is about 5 feet and about 110 lbs. David
We would suggest using a 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) in the 30" model. As far as weight is concerned we would recommend only moving up 1-2 ounces from the model your son used the previous season.
Ben

The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) is a great balanced bat. It is similar to the 2014 model, except it has a more durable composite than the 2014 model. We would suggest the 31" bat.
Chinyere

For a player of his size, our bat coach recommends the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) in a 29" model.
Joe

Joe
Is this bat better suited for contact hitters or power hitters? Dan
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) is going to be a two-piece balanced designed bat, which is ideal for a contact hitter. Power hitters typically like a one-piece end-loaded designed bat.
Liz

Chinyere
My son is 11 and is 5'4" and 95 lbs. Currently he swings a RIP-IT Air (B1410B) 31" 21 oz. Considering either the 2015 RIP-IT or the Easton MAKO (SL15MK10B) or (SL15MK9). One is -10 and the other -9. Which would you recommend? Tabes5
I would recommend going with a 31" bat. The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) & 2015 RIP-IT AIR Senior League Baseball Bat (B1510B) would both be good options. The MAKO is going to require a break in whereas the RIP-IT is good to go out of the box. Both are going to feature a balanced design.
Jake
My son is 13, 4'10" and 95 lbs. Should we go with the easton mako -9 or the demarini cf7 -8 jim
For a player of his size, our bat coach would recommend the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) in a 31" 22 oz. model. Since he has to transfer up to a BBCOR model relatively soon, I would recommend looking at the drop 8 CF7 or possibly a drop 5 model as well.
Joe
Is this a 2 5/8" or 2 3/4" barrel? jackson lowder
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) features a two piece full composite design with a 2 5/8" barrel diameter and a large sweet spot.
Joe
What is the 2 3/4" Youth Big Barrel Model? jackson lowder
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) features the 2 5/8" barrel diameter. The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK10B) features a 2 3/4" barrel diameter.
Joe
My son just turned 9 and he is 4'9" and 88 lbs. Which bat size would be best for him with this bat? Kristin
For a player of his size, our bat coach would recommend the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) in a 30" 21 oz. model.
Joe
Is this bat approved for Dixie Youth baseball? Doge

Jason
Does the 2015 Easton MAKO (SL15MK9) meet the BBCOR performance standard of .50? PASQUA
No, the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) is not BBCOR certified.
Chinyere
Can you use this bat in Grandslam Louisiana? Patrick
We were unable to pull up their specific bat rules. It would be best to check to see if there are any barrel diameter or material restrictions by checking with a coach or league official if you are concerned prior to ordering the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9).
Patrick
Is this bat approved for high school? Danyel
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) does not feature the BBCOR .50 certification stamp and is not approved for play in high school.
Jason
My son is 12 and a half years old and weighs around 115 pounds. He currently swings a 31 inch 21 ounce Combat quite well. This is a borrowed bat and we are looking at the MAKO in a 32 inch 22 ounce size. Is this a good step up? Sara
The 32 inch 22 ounce size of the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK10B) could be a good transition if the 31 inch 21 ounce bat is starting to seem to short or light.
Patrick
Is this bat legal for 13U Babe Ruth Baseball? Samhesh
the Babe Ruth League has divisions from ages 6-12, 13-15, and 16-18. If you are in the 13-15 year old division, the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) would not be legal because it is a composite material bat that does not have BBCOR certification. If you were wanting something in that lighter weight, you would want to look into alloy barrel bats.
Patrick
Is this bat approved for Junior League (50/70)? Is there any other good composite bat approved? Aj
Junior League division of Little League rules indicate that a bat with a bigger barrel diameter and made of composite material like the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) has to be BBCOR certified which this bat is not. You will not be able to use a composite barrel bat that is lighter than a -3 length to weight ratio in that league. If you want a bat that is this length to weight, it will have to have an alloy barrel.
Patrick
My son is 8 years old, 4 foot 5 inches & 95 pounds. What size do you recommend? JP
Based on your sons height and weight we recommend getting the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) in a 30 inch.
Frankie

No, the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) is not BBCOR certified.
Chinyere

Based on height and weight, we would recommend a 31 inch size of the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9).
Patrick
Is there any way I can get pictures of the used bat? theawsomehitter13
We do not take pictures of the used because they are often only available for extremely short times and pictures usually do not do a good job of conveying what would indicate the bat has been used. If you order the used 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9), you have a 14 day period to check it out and make sure it is what you had in mind. If you are not happy with it within that time, you can send it back for a refund or exchange credit with free shipping.
Patrick
Is this bat legal for use, in the 50/70 Intermediate World series? Pat
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) is not legal for use in any division of of the Little League organization because it features a big barrel (2 5/8 inch diameter) design and composite material but is not a BBCOR certified bat. You would need to have an alloy barrel like the 2015 Easton S2 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15S210) for it to be legal. If you want the MAKO line, you would have to get the much heavier 2015 Easton MAKO BBCOR Baseball Bat (BB15MK) but the performance would be less than that of the Senior League model and it would be tougher to swing.
Patrick
I am 5' and 115 pounds. What size and weight should I use? ryry
Based on your height and weight, we suggest a 30" 21 oz model in the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9).

Jason
I am 101 pounds and I am 5 foot 1. What youth big barrel should I get? travis
Which bat you should use would be based more on your preferences rather than one bat being perfect for everyone your size. The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) is a great option in that youth big barrel category.
Patrick
I am 4 foot 8 inches tall and I am 179 pounds. What should I get? Dinger boy
Based on height and weight, we would recommend a 31 inch size of the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9).

What is the difference between the Easton Mako SL14MK9 and SL15MK9? Dan
The main differences between the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) and the 2014 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL14MK9) are cosmetic in nature. The design and performance of the bat are the same.
Patrick
how come the 2014 is more expensive then the 2015 that kid
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) is slightly less expensive than the 2014 Mako due to the popularity that the 2014 model had. Both are great options to consider though.
Cameron
I am a power hitter. Should I get this or the 2015 Easton S1? chino
With them both being well-balanced, two-piece composite bats, both the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9 and 2015 Easton S1 could work well for you. You may lean more toward the MAKO since it has a more extended barrel.
Marcus
what should i get this or the s1 or the s2 i have a s2 and i love it will the s1 be better because its composite or will the mako be better than both ivan
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) and the 2015 Easton S1 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15S110) are both two-piece full composite bats that will feature a balanced feel. As far as which one will be better, all three of these bat will have similar performance. The MAKO could feel lighter than the S1 or S2.
Cameron
What's the difference between the 2016 Easton mako? Joven
The main difference between the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) and the 2016 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat is going to be the Hyperskin grip.
Cameron
Which MAKO is end loaded? My son is a contact hitter I would like the one that is not end loaded. TT
The 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9 will be a balanced weighted bat. The MAKO XL would be an end-weighted bat.
Cameron
This my son's first full composite. Is there any break-in required? If so, recommendations would be appreciated. lane
Generally composite baseball bats are going to need around 150 to 200 hits on them to start performing up to their potential. When breaking in a composite baseball bat, it is important to start off at about 50% power and gradually increase as your swing count rises. It is also important to rotate the bat about a 1/4 inch on every swing. This ensures that your bat gets evenly broken in. This is what would be required for the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9.
Cameron
My son is turning nine. He is swinging the MAKO youth 29/18. You think he would be able to swing with ease the 29/20? He weighs 121 lbs. clos
The right size of bat for a particular player will be based on their height/weight as well as how they are handling the length/weight bat they are currently using. For most players, a one or two ounce jump up should not be a difficult adjustment but that is not always the case with the younger players. If you feel that his current bat speed is doing well with the 29/18 ounce model, then using a 29 inch 20 oz model in the 2015 Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9 should be an adjustment he can make.
Cameron
I am 13 and I want a recommendation on what size of the Easton SL15MK9 I should get. Would you recommend the 31" or the 30"? layton
For most 13 year olds, we are suggesting the 31" length. Based upon your age, a 31"/22 oz model would be recommended as long as you feel you can handle the 22 oz weight.
Ben
I am going in to high school and looking for a new bat. Wondering if the Easton MAKO is as good as the DeMarini CF8? GOAT
The Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9 is a good bat but would not be eligible for use in high school as this bat does not feature a drop 3 (length to weight ratio). When comparing the two bats, the 2016 Easton MAKO BBCOR Baseball Bat: BB16MK and the 2016 DeMarini CF8 BBCOR Baseball Bat: DXCFC, one will see some similarities in that both bats are two-piece, fully composite bats with balanced swing weights. Although both of these bats will feature different connection point technologies as well as composite materials, these two bat models will have similar performance and durability capabilities.
Cameron
I'm starting to play in a more competitive league and I need a bat. I'm 5' and 115 pounds. Should I get this bat? If yes, what weight and length? ryder rockwood
Based upon your height and weight, I would recommend using a 30" Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9.

Is this bat approved by Little League? My son is 5'2" and 110. What bat and what size do you recommend? carol
Unfortunately, this Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) will not be legal for use in any division of Little League baseball. This is due to its build with a 2 5/8" diameter, composite barrel and USSSA 1.15 certification. If your player plays in the Intermediate or Junior League, I would recommend looking at the 2016 Easton S3 Senior League Baseball Bat (SL16S310) in the 31"/21 oz size.
Ben

John P.
Can I use this bat in Pony baseball? rudy
Whether you can use the Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9 in Pony baseball is dependent upon the division that you are in. I would recommend reaching out to a coach or league official just to verify the bat restrictions within your particular league before purchasing a baseball bat.
John P.
Is this legal in the 50/70 division of Little League? btibbs42
This Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) will not be legal for use in the 50/70 division of Little League. The reason is because any bat that has a composite barrel that is being used in 50/70 must have BBCOR certification on it. This SL15MK9 will not have BBCOR certification.

Jason

The Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9 is meant for players who are in 8th grade or below. The term "senior league" is synonymous with the term "youth big barrel."
John P.

The Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9 features a -9 length to weight ratio and the USSSA BPF 1.15 Certification so it should be legal for play within the Pony division of Pony baseball.

John P.
What is the difference between this bat and the Combat G3? I am a power hitter and I want something with a lot of pop, a long barrel, and a big sweet spot. ivan
The Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9 has a two-piece construction where as the COMBAT Portent G3 Senior League Baseball Bat w/ Lizard Skin Grip: PG3SL110 has a one-piece design. The Easton MAKO's two-piece construction allows for more flex and trampoline effect which helps create more power. The COMBAT Portent G3 has a slightly longer barrel that gives it a larger sweet spot.
Angelique
What is the difference between a drop (-8) bat and a drop (9) bat. And what would be the advantage of one over the other KUSH
The only difference between a drop 8 and drop 9 bat would be the weight of the bat. A drop 8 would have a slight advantage as this bat could possibly lend to more power than a drop 9; extra ounce gives you more mass to throw into the ball.
Cameron
What is the difference between this bat and the SL15MK10B? My son is 5'8" and 121 lbs. I'm trying to find the correct size and what model to get. Anthony
The Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK9 has a -9 length to weight ratio and a 2 5/8" barrel diameter, where as the Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat: SL15MK10B has a -10 length to weight ratio and a 2 3/4" barrel diameter. For your son's height and weight we recommend a 32" length bat. Between these two models, the deciding factors will be what barrel size is legal in his organization and what weight he is comfortable swinging.
Angelique

This Easton MAKO Senior League Baseball Bat (SL15MK9) will not be permitted for use in the 13-15 Division of Babe Ruth Baseball because it is not have BBCOR .50 certified. A composite barreled bat will only be allowed for use in the 13-15 Division if it has BBCOR .50 certification
