Bat Benefits
The competition won't have an answer for the Easton Encore Hybrid! This two-piece hybrid offers explosive power by combining Easton's finest composite & alloy technologies into one bat.
Easton will first thin out the Ringless R5 Alloy barrel of the Encore Hybrid by 30% and internally fill it with Thermo Composite Technology (TCT) resulting in a larger sweet spot and maximizing the trampoline effect along the barrel. Next, Easton employs their PureLynk CXN to maximize stiffness by connecting the barrel to the Pro-Stiff Carbon Handle. To reduce vibration on mishits and increase leverage, the handle will include a Power Boost "Soft Knob" as well. Lastly, Easton's Flow-Tack Grip will provide the Encore Hybrid with an additional layer of cushion and tackiness! Additionally, it is important to note that the 30" & 31" models will carry a barrel diameter of 2 5/8", while the barrel of the 32" is a bit larger at 2 3/4".
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. Due to that knowledge, Easton extends a twelve (12) month manufacturer’s warranty on this bat. If you buy this bat from JustBats and feel as though a warranty issue has arisen on the bat within 12 months of the purchase date, please let our Bat Experts know. Our Experts are trained in product and warranty knowledge and will be happy to get you all the information and materials needed to begin a warranty replacement process with Easton.

Very Underrated Bat Rico S. Parent
Pros: It has really good pop. No vibration. The value to cost ration is very high. It has a forgiving sweet spot. My son hit several dingers with it
Cons: The 31 inch is a 2-5/8 barrel. Most USSA bats are 2-3/4. However, it is a great 12/13U bat as it will prepare my son better for the switch to BBCOR next year. The rubber knob may be an issue for the longevity of the bat.
Sleeper bat of the year Scott Parent
Pros: This bat (32") was purchased for my 12u son to use as a cold weather/BP bat so he doesn't prematurely break his Hype Fire. It absolutely holds its own against his Hype. Yes, the Hype hits farther, but whether the ball is 100ft or 75ft over a 200ft fence doesn't make any difference. He actually prefers to swing the Encore as it has a little more end load to it and whips through the zone just a little better than the Hype. It sounds great, swings great with that whippy feel he likes, and should be a durable insurance option for next season when he is on 60/90 fields all season. If his Hype breaks he won't have much of a downgrade at all while we wait for warranty replacement. We are bat nerds here and are constantly buying/selling bats. This thing is the real deal even though it is a hybrid in a field dominated by full composites.
Cons: Nobody knows this bat so people will constantly ask you "what bat is that?". The 32" model is a bit pricey for a hybrid in the USSSA space but we don't have an ounce of regret purchasing it. After all, top hybrids in USA/BBCOR can cost way more than this bat and yet this bat is superior in every way (32" USSSA model only).
Perfect Bat Faustino Figueroa Parent
Pros: - Hot out the wrapper -13 year old loves it. Everyone has the HypeFire which is now banned in PG tourneys but he is still bombing with this. - Sweet spot is surprisingly big when older eastons weren't.
Cons: - None so far.
All around good Dakota Coach
Pros: Solid Barrel loaded Size Pop Underrated
Cons: Handle noob????
Excellent bat for my 11U so Mark hellenthal Coach
Pros: Excellent bat
Cons: None
Better then the CF Michael Player
Pros: Probably the most under-rated USSSA bat. Very hot, thanks to the composite inner layer. My Exit velos are better than the CF, and this bat is lighter too. Absolutely an amazing bat for any hitter.
Cons: Not any, amazing for $100
Massive poo J Parent
Pros: Massive pop, great exit Velo, son hit 5 over fence 1st batting practice. Definitely a good cold weather option
Cons: None
Encore Encore Jackson Parent
Pros: Great sound Big barrel Good pop $119!!!! Bought this for my 12u son to train with to get him used to swinging a heavier bat. It’s been a great tool for the purpose.
Cons: No serious cons but If you’re looking to game this bat justknow it’s a heavy swing weight end loaded bat that can crush baseballs. If you’re strong and have good barrel control this Easton Encore will deliver
Great bat! Angie Other
Pros: Bought for 13 year old grandson. He's only had it 2 weeks but absolutely loves it! First hit with it was a bomb! Coach even said great bat choice! Can't really speak about durability since it's still new, but if the hits are any indication, we did in fact make a great choice!
Cons: None at this point.
Great bat Brian Rogers Coach
Pros: My son loves this bat. He’s swinging - 5 and says it feels lighter and has great pop right out of the wrapper.
Cons: Haven’t found any
Dingers Jacoby Cline Player
Pros: It feels great and it is very durable
Cons: None
Superb Ed b Parent
Pros: Pop, hot out of wrapper, great look, price!$!$!$!$ my soon to be 13u loves this bat. Said it feels amazing. Sounds great too
Cons: None
Light swinging lots of pop Wes Player
Pros: Huge barrel big sweet spot really comfortable knob looks pretty cool easy to swing great for travel ball
Cons: No cons
Awesome bat CTate Coach
Pros: Solid feel when hitting the ball. No vibrations, huge sweet spot, excellent grip and the knob is nice too. Color way is dope.
Cons: Don’t have any yet. But if I had to not pick. The handle is thin, I have big hands and a thicker handle would be my preference.
