Cons: none....so far
Anonymous
Pros: Took about 30 hits or so to open this bat up but now this thing really swings good!
Cons: I hope it's more durable than previous Easton's, especially since they shortened the warranty.
Brando
Pros: Great bat for the price, seems you pump them out with ease and love the 3 oz. end load on the thing!
Cons: After about 200 hits I now have something rattling around inside. gonna talk to easton about it.
cburns94
Pros: Bat breaks in fast, after about 30 swings. I bought it to replace my SRV5 Salvo. It has similar feel and more pop then my previous bat. Was hitting 300 warning track now hitting the fence and popped a few over the fence at 325. Colour pretty slick as well.
Cons: Gauze grip was not a good fit without batting gloves. I put an Easton VRS grip to replace.
jasper
Pros: Lots of pop and the extra end load is very nice
Cons: 6 month warranty but maybe thats why its really hot out the wrapper
BOATWORKS
Pros: Looks cool.....after a 100 swings bat is opening up....gauze grip feels good
Cons: you gotta swing out of your shoes to break it in
SICK! ELI player
Pros: HUGE pop and feel.
Cons: None yet.
Not for power hitters Walter Deuce player
Pros: The bat feels good in your hands. I'm a power hitter. I consistently hit 300-425 ft. home runs. When the home runs are gone it's easy to hit through people with this bat. Break-in period is one round of 50 for me. The 1 oz. end load is the max I can use though because a 2 oz. is VERY noticeable.
Cons: In my first BP with this bat. I started with a round of 50 balls. I rotated 1/4" every swing and was full swing at ball 30. They advertise HOT OUT THE RAPPER but I was safe. At the end of the round there was a large rattle, like something popped loose. A guy told me the end loads come apart on this bat.
Easton Xavier player
Pros: Good bat for me especially since im just starting. Prolly bout 30 hits and hits well.
Cons: Have some rattle inside bat. Sounds like little rocks or something. Not sure if that is good or bad.
Beauty of a Bat Jack W player
Pros: Absolutely sick bat, especially for the price, it out hit my old DC Psycho and I thought that was my best bat ever! Hitting bombs and SS easy to find.
Cons: Chips easily, may not have durability that I'm used to seeing.
NOTAFAN Jake player
Pros: Hits far after about 100 hits with Great pop!
Cons: Only lasted about 200 hits before it began to rattle. Continued to use for another 50 hits until it was completely dead. Had bat about for 5 practices and 3 games.
Stiff feel, good distance RHY player
Pros: Lots of distance, with little to no break in period.
Cons: Very stiff, and unforgiving on mis-hits.
Good pop Anonymous player
Pros: Great pop right out of the wrapper was hitting bombs
Cons: Maybe 60 swings on it and something is rattling in it sound
L5.0 "E"- Level Player player
Pros: This bat is truely one of the only bats i have ever swung to be extremely hot out of the wrapper, it has an amazing feel to it even on mis hits. I was hitting lazers to the out field just trying to chop it. i will be buying a couple more to keep on stock.
Cons: Not a fan of the 6 month warranty
This bat is FIRE! Chris L. player
Pros: Takes very little effort to hit 250ft plus ropes! Took a couple games and BP before this bat started to come alive! Now it is all POP and fire!
Cons: The bat being discontinued. I guess it makes the ones out there more valuable!

I just purchased n Easton L5.0 and now I'm looking for a decent alloy/aluminum bat (for BP and possible team use) to replicate the L5's feel and weight. Any suggestions? Zeke
What are the differences between this bat and the L6.0? T
Does the endload mean that the bat will weigh more than it is stickered? So a 26oz has a 1oz endload does that mean the actual weight is going to be 27oz. And a 27oz has a 2oz endload does that mean the actual weight will be 29oz? Or will the bat still weigh around what it is stickered at (within 0.3-0.5oz of stickered weight)? slowpitch player
How does it compare to the 2014 Easton L1 (SP13L1) Slow Pitch bat? Miller Time
