Pros: Hot bat right out the wrapper!!!! Got a 28oz and feels a little light.
Cons: Design on the bat. wish it was flashier. It clean design does not catch everyone's eye.
BrandonMFS
Pros: Just got mine in the mail, have yet to hit it but will keep you posted. Looks even better in person and 30oz feels great cant wait to get out there and blast a few
Cons: not yet
a07stang
Pros: First used it at practice we put 80-90 soild hits on it and it was shocking how the ball was popping off the barrel. Haven't had a bat hit this hot from the gate. The endload is perfect for "pull hitters". It doesn't matter is it's a line drive or a fly ball it's heading to the fence.
Cons: The price, But if i get 4 years out of it between 2 teams It'll be worth it. And if you want to be picky it's not to flashy has a low profile look
Fres2
Pros: this bat is ridiculous right out the wrapper hitting bombs and liners werer right to the fence
Cons: now everybody wants to swing it
Country
Pros: HOT HOT HOT
Cons: On my second one already first one broke in middle of barrel after 30 hits, second one broke completly after 60 hits. Not worth 299 to break after one tourney
dj
Pros: hot bat. nice smooth swing for the power hitter. they say it breaks easy but like any other bat it needs to be broken in properly and used in appropiate temperature. i hit roughly 300 hits at 25% power turning the bad slighly covering entire length of barrel and then 300 hits at 50% power turning the bad slighly covering entire length of barrel. ((i do this with all my bats before i really try killing the ball)) it takes awhile but man it was worth it. im 6'1 and 230lb and i was cracking bombs with this puppy. some may have got defective bats. but mine is a "bat outta hell". laser beam line drives. and the durability is outstanding so far i have maybe 300 hard as i could hits plus the 600 break in hits. grade a top choice bat.
Cons: maybe it doesn't look flashy enough and catches peoples eye at first but as soon as they see the performace of my bat they want one. but i don't care what it looks like as long as it does its job
BrandonMFS
Pros: First off this bat is a beast, the end load makes it hard not to hit a dinger! I really dig the look unlike everyone else Im happy its not a flashy bat, it looks sick with the powder black and red paint job! This thing kills the ball and anyone who trys to get in the way of a liner! Great bat Very pricy but hey, what good bat isnt you def get what you pay for!
Cons: cost but like I said you want results then the cost doesnt matter, i dont want to wreck the paint job!~
big B
Pros: swung this bat at bp this weekend, put about 120 hits on it right out of the wrapper. bat feels a lot better than last year's asa helmer. the 2013 easton's seem to have a much softer and smoother feel upon ball contact than last year's. good end-load in this bat. grip is nice and soft. i swing a 28oz. and it actually feels like a 28 not extra heavy like some of the miken's feel with the supermax in them. hit lots of hard line drives and plenty of deep bombs with this bat after about 50 or 60 hits. this bat will definately bypass the 98 mph rating when fully broken in.
Cons: i guess the price, but good bats are usually expensive.

tpx50000
Pros: big sweet spot.
Cons: the bat feels lighter than it is. i wish i would have got one with a little more weight. doesn't feel like 27 oz
Benzo
Pros: Good bat ball comes off bat bery nice real happy with cant wait till broken in, only concern is i should of gotten a 27 it feels really light,, go up one size
Cons: Really light go up one size
zman
Pros: This is the best ASA bat I've used since they went to the 98 standards. It's hot out of the wrapper. Hits lasers and bombs. I'd definitely buy another one. We've got 2 or 3 guys on our team who never hit HR's and they have with this bat.
Cons: Whole team wants to use it. It is so hot the ump at our last game thought it was illegal (seriously). I chuckled and pointed the stamp out to him. All he said was "Wow". Some of the early reviews said it swung heavy, but we think it swings light. Doesn't feel like a 28oz.
Hbatchi
Pros: Best bat out of the Easton lineup. Super pop out of the wrapper. Hitting several home runs a game. Ball easily traveling 325+ feet. The graphite and red is a sick combination unlike the ugly flashy bats usually seen in the slowpitch world.
Cons: None, the bat is awesome.
Kurgz
Pros: Bat is great! Great pop right away! Had bat checked twice so far by other teams because they thought we were using an illegal bat!
Cons: None
Ron
Pros: Great bat. Hits hard right out of the wrapper. Love the end load. 12 inch barrel is nice for your more experienced hitters.
Cons: Nothing yet. Have about 50 swings so far.
