Pros: Huge Sweet Spot, amazing pop. Has easily become my team's favorite bat over other Easton's and Demarini's. Price is also a great value. Similar to the Reflex but the ball goes farther

Cons: none

Pros: Great bat, hangs right with my Raw Steel and Nano, (very suprised and impressed) has the largest sweet spot of any metal bat I have swung. Easton has finally outdone their old ST1

Cons: None really, other than it would be even better if it was endloaded.

Brett
What's the balance on this bat? Balanced weight or endloaded? Joe
The Rival has balanced weight.
Kara
Does this bat have that high pitch sound when the ball is hit like the other aluminum bats? wolly
It does have a slightly different sound, a little more muted. Not quite the ping sound.
lkh
Yes. It has a loud "ping" sound when it is hit.
Ryan
How does it compare to the Demarini White Steel? Booty
Both are high quality alloy slow pitch bats. In my opinion, the White Steel has a little more of an end-loaded feel while the Rival is more balanced. Both perform great, but I would give a slight edge to the Steel.
TJ
Is this bat 100% aluminum? If not can you recommend a nice bat that is? They currently changed the rules in the softball league I play in and have outlawed composite bats. Nick
Yes. This bat is 100% aluminum and you'll be able to use it in your league.
TJ
is it a single wall bat or multi wall? tyler
This bat is a single wall, 100% alloy bat. There is no composite in this bat.
KG
Does this bat have the loud pinging sound when the ball is hit? wolly
This bat is made of aluminum, so it will have the traditional "ping" sound. If you click on the speaker icon in the upper right hand corner of the big picture of this bat, you can actually hear this bat hitting a ball. This will let you know if it is similar to the sound you have in mind or not.
Jennifer
Why does it say this bat is a composite design in the video? Pieman
Thank you for bringing this to our attention and I apologize for the confusion. This bat is not a composite bat; it is a full alloy bat. I will get with my product manager and we will get this fixed right away!
Jennifer
Is the Rival a single wall bat? Smo

Derek
Why was this Easton SG1 discounted, is it replaced by a new better model? Eric Rick
The bat was discontinued as it was originally released several years ago and manufacturers generally stop making a model once the next year's bats are released. This bat was a one-piece, alloy design, and here is a link showing all the other one-piece alloy bats that we have: https://www.justbats.com/products/material~aluminum/not~deals~bat%20pack/softball%20bats~slow%20pitch/?sortBy=TotalSales+Descending&size=24
