Easton Baseball Bats - Bat Reviews of 2010 Easton Bats
According to the survey I'm running over at my Best Youth Bats page, Easton baseball bats are among the best in youth baseball, and I know that they have the same reputation among adult ballplayers as well. Continuing from their 2009 success, the 2010 models feature all composite, all aluminum, hybrid, 1-piece, and 2-piece designs. Most of the technologies that were used last year are still used this year. They also have continued the Stealth line, but this year they've added numbers onto the end of the bat names to indicate their "Flex Rating." For instance, the front-runner, of the 2010 models is the Stealth Speed 75, pictured below. I have posted pictures along with links to the products if you wish to check prices or purchase one of the bats.

Stealth Speed 75 & 95
The higher the flex rating, the stiffer the bat. For example, the Stealth Speed 75 has an average amount of flex, and the Stealth Speed 95 has a very stiff handle. The Stealth models also use the same IMX composite technology used in the Easton bats of 2008. The Speed 75 & 95 are 2-piece models that use Easton's ConneXion, or CXN technology. Overall, the Speed 75 model gets excellent reviews by many, and is one of the best, if not the best performing bat in amateur baseball today.

These models are going to be your most expensive, running you around the $400 mark for the adult models. Within the last couple of years, Easton has also come out with a Moment of Inertia (M.O.I.) rating attached to all of their bats. This rating indicates what we call the "swing weight" of the bat. With composite bats, the manufacturers can shift the center of gravity (CG) of the bat closer to the handle, making it feel lighter when it is swung. If a bat has a CG closer to the handle, it will have a lower swing weight. If a bat has a higher swing weight, it will sometimes be referred to as "end-loaded." These are all concepts and terms that are commonly used in golf, but have recently also been used in baseball, due to the addition of composite bats to the mix.
The higher Easton's M.O.I. rating is, the higher
the swingweight, or more end-loaded the bat is. The M.O.I. of the
Stealth 75 & 95 are both 80, which should be considered
somewhat
end-loaded.
Synergy Speed 90
The Synergy Speed 90 is very similar to the Stealth models in that it uses IMX composite technology, but it is also a 1-piece bat so it does not use ConneXion technology. It uses Easton's Single System Technology (SST) instead. It has a M.O.I. rating of 75, giving it an average swing weight. It is also priced at $400 for the adult model.

SV12 Ozone 65, 90, & 95
The SV12 models are 2-piece hybrids, that use Easton's IMX composite technology for the handle, and V12 scandium aluminum alloy for the barrel. As you may be able to tell by the flex ratings, the Ozone 65 it is a very flexible model, while the 90 and 95 models are stiffer. Their M.O.I. ratings are a bit lower at the 70 mark, giving them a bit of a lighter feel. The SV12s are going to run a little cheaper at the $300 mark for adult models.

V12 Ozone
The V12 is the all aluminum model from Easton that uses the V12 scandium alloy throughout the entire bat. No composites at all in this model. It has a flex rating of 100, being the stiffest bat that Easton produces. It also has the lightest swing weight of all the 2010 models with a M.O.I. rating at the 60 mark. It is a great option for those of you who are still loyal to the basic all aluminum 1-piece design. It will also be the most affordable of the Easton baseball bats, running at $200 for the adult model.

There you have it. That is a rundown of the Easton baseball bats of the 2010 season. They are very similar to the 09' models, in that they use the same technologies. The big difference is the slight variety you get in the flexibility and stiffness of some of the 2-piece models. Leave reviews/opinions if you've used one or know of anyone who has.
