Description
A favorite of ASA players every season, the Easton Stealth Speed XL is the quintessential home run tool! The extreme performance of the Stealth Speed XL is made possible through the two-piece fully composite design and the exclusive Easton technology used to make it. The Integrated Matrix Technology, or IMX, used on the Stealth strengthens composite structure while optimizing the design for maximum performance. The unrivaled durability that Easton has become known for is achieved through Carbon Nanotube Technology (CNT) which enhances the proprietary resin system inside the barrel and handle. The two-piece design, ideal for any type of hitter, is held together with Easton's patented CXN, or ConneXion Technology. CXN uses hinge technology for efficient energy transfer, while isolating the handle from the barrel to eliminate vibration altogether. The SPEED name comes from manufacturing this bat with laser precision to eliminate material overlap. This removes excess mass for a lighter swing weight and faster swing speed! The Stealth Speed XL is slightly endloaded with a 13.5" extended barrel design to give players more power, more hitting area, and inevitably more HRs! Easton: Power Redefined! The SSR4 is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

I'm looking for a review of this Easton 2012 bat. Has anyone hit it? Cookie
Yes, a few of us here have hit with the new 2012 Stealth Speed. If you hit with last year's model (SSR2), I don'think you'll notice that big of a difference in performance, although the SSR4 has a slightly more endloaded feel. It's a high performing ASA bat and it felt pretty hot right out of the wrapper, but I'm sure after a hundred or so swings it would feel even better.

whats the best oz to get i got the blue and sliver easton stealth 34" 27 im looking and thinking about buying this but can u tell me more about please bates
If you're asking what the best weight is for you, that's something that I cannot answer. Bat weight in slow pitch softball strictly comes down to the preference of the player. I know some 6'4" 230 pound guys that like to use a 26 or 27 ounce bat. I also know some guys about 5'9" or 5'10" that prefer a 28 or 30 ounce bat. I've hit with this Stealth as well as last years silver and blue Stealth and I think they're both on the same level in terms of performance and are great bats.

i play with f12 clincher gold which is harder than the regular f12 clincher would this bat be good or can you recomend a bat for this type of f12 clincher gold. batless batter
The F12G is still a low compression softball and because of that I would recommend a stiff, one-piece bat. Using a two-piece flex bat with a low compression softball will absorb the energy at the moment of contact and will probably produce a pretty soft hit. A single wall alloy bat will work well with a low compression softball. A one-piece, end-loaded composite bat would also work. Anything from the Easton Rival, Anderson KSP, Anderson Techzilla, Miken DC-41, or the Miken Freak FX700 SuperMax would be good options.
John
i play in a singlewall league and i have heard that all easton stealths are single wall. what is the best single wall bat u would recommend. i have a white steel and it hits great, just want more pop. yimmy
The SSR4 is a single wall and is a great bat. As with all composites, they do require a break in to get the pop you want.
Linda
I bought a SSR4 and my team used it for the fist time yesterday, Bat is very hot out the wrapper, but I noticed it starting webbing, looks likes cracks. Is that normal? It was a cold night! Duke
The webbing is the composite material breaking in. You should avoid using a composite bat in temperatures below 55 degrees. Also, it is important to break in a composite bat properly before using it in a game. Take 100-200 swings off soft toss and rotate the barrel about a quarter of an inch each swing.

Does it have the USSSA 2012 stamp on it? Jake
The 2012 Easton Stealth Speed XL has the old USSSA stamp on it. This bat does not have the new USSSA stamp that is being required in 2013.
Jennifer
I would like to know, if the Easton Stealth bat would be good to use during the fall & winter seasons? Big Yeps
We recommend not to use the bat in temperatures below 45 degrees.
Kara
Is this bat comparable to the (2007) Easton Stealth Comp CNT SCN5? If not, which current year Easton bat is? Dan
Yes, this bat is very much like the SCN5.
Patrick
How well does the warranty cover on this bat and what does it all cover? how long does the warrenty last? Alek
The SSR4 has a 12 month warranty through Easton. It covers any defect to the bat that is a result of normal usage (ie: dents, cracks, broken end-cap, etc.) If you have specific questions about the warranty, feel free to give us or Easton a call.
Tyler
Is this a single wall bat? Judge
The Easton Stealth Speed XL is a double wall slow pitch bat.
Kara
I am following up on a question I asked on Saturday in regards to the 2013 stamp. I asked why this bat does not have it on it and is it because it will be considered an illegal bat after 2012? If someone would respond I would really appreciate it. Jim
At the time the Easton Stealth Speed XL was manufactured, USSSA did not require the new stamp. Easton's new line of slow pitch bats do have the required USSSA stamp.
Kara
Will this bat always be ASA legal after 2012? And does the end-load add weight to the bat? TROBE
As of today, the Easton Stealth Speed XL will be legal after 2012. The weight of the bat does not change, it's the way the weight is distributed. There will be more weight at the end of the barrel, better for a power hitter.
Kara
Stealth Speed vs Stealth 98,is the most significant difference the end weighting on the Speed? Tom Deschler
You are correct, the difference between the Easton Stealth Speed XL and the Stealth Speed 98 is the Easton Stealth Speed XL is end loaded.
Kara
I have a silver and blue stealth speed xl & the silver is delaminating near the end of the bat. Is this common? I was also wondering if this bat is still available some where or does easton have a new bat that is similar. thanks rick
Issues like that are fairly common the more a bat is used. It's just the nature of the beast when you're talking about a tool swung at high velocities to hit a rather hard ball, then thrown in the dirt, dropped on the ground, etc... That model is discontinued, but the closest comparison will be the SSR4.
Tyler
Should this bat be used with a Worth 47/525 synthetic blue dot softball? Alec
The Easton Stealth Speed XL can be used with synthetic blue dot softballs.
Kara
Does it have the new USSSA stamp and will it be legal 2013? woolyrider
The Easton Stealth Speed XL does not have the new USSSA stamp. It will only be legal in 2012 in USSSA.
Kara
What is the difference between the SSR4(Easton Stealth Speed) and the SP12ST98(Easton Stealth)? coaltrain
The SP12ST98 features the Black Carbon composite handle and features the newest USSSA stamp. Here is a link to further compare the two bats.
