Stealth IMX

Stealth IMX Baseball Bat The Easton Stealth baseball bat is the 2 piece all composite design. IMX, standing for Integrated Matrix Technology, is the name given for the composite design on the 2009 Easton baseball bats. They use premium aerospace grade fibers, angled and layered to provide a large barrel and sweet spot. They also use Carbon Nanotube Technology, or CNT, which is an advanced technology that is supposed to strengthen the resin in the composite material.

It also uses what Easton calls their CXN, or ConneXion technology. This is the term that describes their 2 piece bats. ConneXion simply Stmeans that there is a "connection" between the handle and barrel, as they are 2 separate pieces. This is said to eliminate vibration to the handle on contact since the 2 pieces are isolated from another, as well as provide more flex and whip during the swing. This bat is given the nickname "Clutch."

Synergy IMX

Synergy IMX Baseball Bat The Easton Snyergy bat is a 1 piece all composite design. As you may be able to guess, it uses the exact same IMX technology used in the Stealth IMX. The difference lies in the fact that it does not use the CXN, but rather SST, or Single System Technology. This is the technology used to describe their one piece designs. The one piece designs are supposed to be stiffer than the 2 piece for those who prefer a stiffer, and less flexible bat.

Easton says that with the one piece designs, you'll be able to receive instant feedback on the quality of contact you've made with the ball. Therefore, this bat is given the nickname "Instinct."

SV12

SV12 Baseball Bat The SV12 is a 2 piece, composite handle, alloy barrel design. It uses IMX and CXN technology just like the Stealth IMX bat. The only difference lies in the fact the barrel is made of the latest alloy from Easton known as their V12 Scandium Alloy. It is the world's first 12 component alloy, which allows them to optimize wall thickness to create the world's most durable aluminum bat on the market.

It also uses a technology that Easton calls their Optimal Hitting Zone, or O-Zone, which is supposed to increase the trampoline effect. They have thickened the barrel at the taper, and near the end cap so it is stiffened which will help improve overall barrel performance. They give this bat the nickname "Reaction."

V12

V12 Baseball Bat The Easton V12 bat is a 1 piece, complete alloy design. It uses the same V12 alloy used in the SV12, but there is no composite material in the handle. Since it is a 1 piece, it uses the same SST technology used in the Synergy, but without the IMX composite material. For those of you who still prefer the one piece aluminum bat like ones from years past. It also uses the O-Zone technology that is used on the SV12. This bat is given the nickname "Velocity."

Stealth Ozone

Easton Stealth Ozone Bat The Stealth Ozone bat is a 2 piece hybrid model that has a composite handle and aluminum alloy barrel. It uses the same ConneXion technology that is used in the other 2 piece bats above. It uses the same O-Zone technology mentioned in the bats above. The main difference is this bat and the ones above is that is bat uses Easton's Sc900 Scandium alloy rather than the V12. The Sc900 is a previous version of alloy from Easton.

Summary

With the Easton baseball bats of 2009, you will be able to choose any variation of 1 piece, 2 piece, composite and alloy designs. It all depends on what style of bat you prefer. Easton claims that not every bat works for every swing, which is what led them to come out with their HITMATRIX line Wof bats. Each bat also has 4 different ratings in the categories that players will be concerned with. They include Hitting Area, Swing Weight (M.O.I.), VRS (Vibration Reduction System) Rating, and Handle Flex Rating. You may use these to help in your decision as well.
