Lack of Pop ... parent
Pros: Durable
Cons: No pop off of the bat. The ball almost seems to deaden upon contact.
Same here, no pop at all 911wife parent
Pros: Looks nice
Cons: Bought this to replace old Reflex but no pop at all...my son is hitting better with the old bat. His coach said that it might not be balanced.
So far so good Hawks32 parent
Pros: My son is a contact hitter and is doing very well with this bat. Very Quick to get around and very balanced for great line drives.
Cons: None so far.
Okay pop Daniel #11 player
Pros: ...
Cons: This bat is not so bad it has an okay pop it doesnt suck and it has no sting just when you the middle part of it.
Good, Ideal Bat for players all around SL Kings player
Pros: Has a massive sweet spot, It is really light, and comes off the bat really well
Cons: NONE.
Awesome bat at this price point Ryan H coach
Pros: Large sweet spot, lots of pop. First few hits sounded dead, but once he adjusted to the new bat (heavier and longer than what he was used to) and found the sweet spot, he was drilling them. Lots of pop, improved power, nice solid ping when connecting. My son has incredible speed swinging this vs a BB bat.
Cons: Son had some stinging at BP, but this is a new bat, and longer than what he is used to. His old bat was a 1 piece like this, I think he just needed to learn where the sweet spot was to get around the stinging, and he takes a lot of reps/hits in a short time, so I dont think this is a fault with the bat.
pretty good baseball other
Pros: little brother got the 30in 17ounce and likes it A lot
Cons: sting
HELLO HITS NATHAN OHRAZDA player

Cons: stings a lot when you don't hit it on the sweet spot.Dents easily.
I was wrong AWSOME KID player
Pros: I wrote a review earlier and said it had no pop.It has so much pop if you hit it on the sweet spot and the grip is awesome.Good for a player not wanting to spend a lot of money on a bat.
Cons: It stings a lot if you don't hit it around the sweet spot and the sweet spot is small.
awful bat ss player
Pros: nothing..... I know this is one of easton's cheap bat's...... but c'mon put something decent out there
Cons: everything.... no pop, extreme sting, not durable at all, this could be the worst bat i've seen in 4 years..... the LS omaha is a much better version of this bat

Purchased my 7yr. old son the 28" 18 oz. 2014 DeMarini big barrel a few weeks ago and it is a little too heavy for him. How does this bat compare to the Easton Reflex? Looking for something light (perhaps the 27" 14 oz.) Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks. hoggmtn
My son is 5 years old and currently uses a 27" 14 oz. Reflex. I believe the 2012 model, black in color. He is tall for his age and gets the bat around pretty good. More of a contact hitter rather than power. I am wondering if the 28" 15 oz. would be too large or a good fit for him? Griffjr
