Description
Easton ADV Hype -5 USSSA Baseball Bat: SL22HYP58
The build-up has come to this moment and here it is...Easton is delivering the Hype with the USSSA baseball rating!
Bat Benefits
Easton has bolstered this all-composite bat with a few new updates. (1) They have updated their composite material that will be featured on this signature bat. This bat has Easton's Thermo Composite Technology (similar to the TCT Material that Easton used in the past). And they are saying that this material should allow for an incredibly large barrel & sweet spot to exist while also being very lightweight. (2) The connection point on this bat has been revised to what will now be known as the ConneXion Max connector piece. This connector piece will make the bat have a stiff feel when hitting a baseball and due to there being extra Nitrocell Foam added to the connection piece, it should do an incredible job of limiting the vibration that gets down to a player's hands on a miss-hit. (3) Lastly, the handle is built with the new Pro-Stiff Carbon technology. This handle should feel incredibly solid in a batter's hands and Easton believes that top-notch hitters will really enjoy the feel it produces.
This drop 5 model is a great bat for players that are 13 or 14 years old and playing their final seasons within the USSSA baseball ranks. This Hype will certainly prep players for the heavier bats they will use once they have entered the high school ranks!
Warranty
Easton knows that they have a reputation for making some of the highest-performing bats in the game. And they also know that since their reputation is built on creating high-quality baseball bats, they have to deliver on the warranty side as well.

My Grandson Loves it Other
Pros: My grandson has been using an old bat his uncle had. I bought this for him and he loves it. It made me feel great to know this. I don't think I could say more than that!
Cons: none
Good bat Quinn Player
Pros: It had really good pop
Cons: It is on the heavier side of drop 5
Absolute nuke dropper Max Player
Pros: Bought this because my men's league has no bat restrictions. Extremely hot out of the wrapper. I haven't fully broken it in yet, but it already feels good and the ball jumps off like a trampoline.
Cons: It's heavy, like BBCOR level heavy. Also I can't yet speak for the durability yet since I've only taken around 50 swings with it so far
Good bat, Not Balanced Ian Coach
Pros: Good pop. Not too expensive. Connection piece and handle very durable.
Cons: Heavy...like BBCOR heavy. Skinny handle. Chipping around barrel end cap, mostly just paint, but not what I want when some equipment inspectors are over the top. Did I mention heavy....other reviewers did, it is not an exaggeration.
Great bat & great price Richard Parent
Pros: Bat has good pop
Cons: Grip was thin so I rewrapped.
Future prospect Bob Jones Parent
Pros: Wow this bat is hot. My son is an elite 12 year old baseball player who has multiple offers to play on travel teams. He recently played in a lake point tournament. Since then we have been receiving multiple emails from college coaches regarding camps. In order for him to be seen more I wanted to get him a bat that will put more balls over the fence. He usually bats 7 hole but i guarantee you the coach will be moving him into the 3 or 4 slot. Because his dream team is the Cincinnati reds I think this red bat is perfect.
Cons: The only downside to this bat is I don’t see it lasting much longer with how hard my son has been smashing baseballs.
-5 Reif Player
Pros: When you barrel it up you hit a nuke very time. Best bat I've ever swung
Cons: Heavy, but gives it more pop and not a huge sweet spot
Best budget bat Adam Dykhuizen Coach
Pros: If you are 14 and weigh 200lbs on steroids and drink a sixer of bang a day, this is for you. Tons of pop. Connection piece is more durable than previous model. In all honesty it is a great bat.
Cons: Swings heavy.
Heavy, but super hot Baseball Bat Bros Other
Pros: Durable, tons of pop, great feel, great sound.
Cons: Might be the most endloaded composite bat in -5.
