Bat Benefits
If you thought one-piece bats were gone then you were sorely mistaken! Easton has ushered back the era of the one-piece slow pitch bat with this Salvo!
A few years back there was a baseball bat called the Easton Mako...and it destroyed baseballs. I would imagine that a lot of young slow pitch softballers remember it. The composite material they used on that bat was the TCT Thermo Composite. And you young slow pitch studs will be happy to know that this Salvo will feature that same exact TCT Thermo Composite on its barrel!
This Salvo will indeed be a one-piece, all-composite bat. But Easton has used their engineering skill to seamlessly blend two different composite materials into the one-piece build. In addition to that TCT Thermo Composite on the barrel, the handle will be built from Sic Black Carbon composite. This Sic Black material is able to mitigate a good amount of vibration that gets down to a batter's hands on a miss-hit. This is a huge deal for a one-piece bat as sometimes one-piece models vibrate a lot if you don't strike the ball right on the sweet spot.
In addition, it is going to be considered a "Loaded" bat regarding the feel of the barrel. At JustBats, we have found that Easton's "Loaded" distinction compares most similarly to other bats characterized as slightly end-loaded. Oftentimes, power hitters like bats with a little heft in the barrel, but if you are a contact hitter looking to test your hand at a bat with some barrel load, definitely consider this Salvo.
And this writer cannot fail to mention the big selling point on this bat: the Dual Stamped certification. The two organizing bodies that dominate slow pitch softball throughout the US are USA Softball (ASA) and USSSA. Oftentimes, a bat will only feature one of these two stamps. But this bat will have both stamps (in addition to a few others as well). This is awesome because this bat should be allowed in just about any league or tournament that is being held. If you are a player that hops from team to team and you don't want to have to worry about your bat being deemed illegal, then this is your bat!
Lastly, be sure to note that this specific Salvo will only be found when shopping at JustBats!
