Cubby (ATX)
Pros: One of the better manufactured softball bats from Easton. 2 Piece technology has great flex and minimal vibration if you get jammed. Power? SICK! Connect on the sweet spot (which the area of the sweet spot is over a FOOT!) and the ball jumps off the bat. Line drives, homers....bat does it all. Perfectly end loaded. You dont lose ANY bat speed. the last Easton bat i used was the C-Core, and then i gave up on them....SO GLAD I bought this one! EASTON baby, YOUR BACK!
Cons: "Rumors" on 2 piece have less life span and lose pop quickly. Jury is still out here...

Pros: Bought it and took it to the cage to get familiar with it, and every ball jumped off the bat. First game first pitch put it right to the warning track. Best Easton bat ive owned so far.
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: Seems to have a large sweet spot. Took about 100-150 hits to break in but so far it's the best bat I have ever used.
Cons: None
softballjunkie
Pros: Love the bat I have a couple hundred hits on it and the ball is absolutely screaming off the bat I bought a TPS Z-1000 at the beggining of the season then bought the Easton SSR4 and the TPS cant even compare to the SSR4 so I just gave the TPS away. My suggestion is buying the SSR4 you will NOT be disappointed. Hottest bat this year period!!
Cons: All 3 of my other bats i just leave home now
uncle willy's son
Pros: Great bat, nice sweetspot. Bought the 26oz for the wife, plenty of life to this bat. Love it.
Cons: Nothing yet.
dongger13
Pros: Decent balance and grip,says it has a slight endload, I didnt feel it gotta a 26oz, they lied.
Cons: to light for me, should have got something heavier.
CrossEyedCricket
Pros: Takes about 500 swings to break in, but after that, it's hotter than love! The more you swing it, the hotter it gets. Best ASA bat of the year, and very durable.
Cons: none so far
BazookaJ
Pros: The SSR4 has really good pop initially and only gets better with time. It's definitely the bat of choice in our league. I use a 34/28, which seems just right for me 6' 205.
Cons: The bat feels a bit heavier than other 28 ounce bats I've swung, but it's negated by pop and large sweet spot.
Mo
Pros: First tried the bat out in a tournament. First swing of the bat I had a double. Next time up I hit a homerun. Second game I hit another homerun. Everyone on my team was amazed at how smooth the bat felt after hitting with it. Now this is the only bat that my teammates will use.
Cons:
BigDaddy30
Pros: Great feel. I got the 27oz. and it feels heavier than other 27oz. bats I have swung. The sweet spot is so large, even on a ball that is hit poorly the ball screams off of this bat. I can't wait to see it after I get a LOT more swings on it.
Cons: None so far!
BIg Red
Pros: Just picked this bat up and its amazing...I was home run hitter with cheap $40 bats but the Stealth has had a serious effect on my distance! It just feels right.
Cons: nothing so far...
Mattman13
Pros: Only got 75 hits or so and was able to hit a few about 375. Big sweet spot and I can tell it needs to be broke in more. Feel is same as ssr2 with slight endload.
Cons: Has weird metalic sound on contact but I'm sure it will change with more hits.
BIGRED33
Pros: The new stealth, broken in after about 200 hits, is awesome. I swear this bat added somewhere between 20 and 30 feet onto my distance. I was hitting home runs before but now they're like way gone. I hit one to the infield on a field opposite to us...about 330 ft.
Cons: absolutely nothing at this time.
GREGORY
Pros: This bat is awesome right out of the wrapper, my top pic for ASA, to hit hard line drives & bombs, less than 200 swings on mine 300' field 40 cor 375 lbs balls, hit around 100 HR's
Cons: None, it does get stress cracks but don't sweat it bc its a very durable bat
Romer (minot, ND)
Pros: Amazing pop and balance good looking bat excellent grip feel my first easton, and looks like the only brand to buy
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: Awesome bat, HOT right out the wrapper! Just gets better with TIME!
Cons: None, too AWESOME of a BAT
Bomber
Pros: This awesome bat is hot straight out the wrapper, and it only gets better with time!
Cons: none, great bat
Really!
Pros: None
Cons: Power hitter and could barely hit the ball into the outfield. Have two other Easton bats and no problems. First time ever returning a bat to Easton. I guess just a dead bat.
Parkman
Pros: The SSR4 is a great bat. Only about 50 hits on it and the ball fly's off the bat. I'm 5'9 165 and I hit a HR to dead center over a 380' fence the other night.
Cons: None
Chardiver
Pros: I'm a female and use the 26 oz., it feels comfortable and I'm getting solid hits off it. A lot of guys on my team also use this bat and the ball soars way out there. Very happy with this bat!
Cons: none
G Staxx
Pros: Its the 1 for sure
Cons: wish it only costed $100 dollars
LJ
Pros: Hot bat. Guys went from average hitters to launching bombs. Girls (coed team) have gone from dinkers to line drives. Bought a Salvo at the same time last year, everyone prefers this bat. Just bought a second one with a lighter weight for the smaller girls on the team. Highly recommend
Cons: Everyone wants to use it
Austin Milbarge
Pros: Right out of the box the bat pounded the ball over the fence or sent screamers through the infield faster than the SS or 2B could react to nab them. Pop... this bat has it!
Cons: Second game of the season and there is something rattling on the inside. I will be contact Easton and testing their 1 year Warranty. Will post an update once this issue is resolved. 4 of 5 stars only because of the maraca sound it makes before the first game of the season was over.
MPB33
Pros: Feels pretty good out of the wrapper, bought a 27oz because of the heavier swing weight, usually swing a 28oz.
Cons: Have less then 40 swing on it, and it is starting to get a crack that you can see and feel...very disappointing. Will be returning it for warranty exchnge. This should not have occurred at this early stage.
BlueCrew
Pros: Smooth swing with a lot of pop.
Cons: 30oz feels light and after about 5 games something broke inside and rattles. In the process of exchanging under warranty. Seems to be a theme with Easton.
