Choosing the right baseball bat is as important as batting technique or selecting the right pitch to blast over the center field fence. There are many different kinds of bats designed for Little Leagues, Senior Leagues, college, and pros. Each league has a set of parameters for barrel width and length dimensions. It can be downright overwhelming when you consider the variety of baseball bat brands, materials, styles, and qualities. Let’s take a peek at two of the best bats available: Easton and Demarini.
Easton baseball bats tout powerful barrels that are lightweight and have a comfortable grip. Easton is a high-quality bat, and these reputable bats can be expensive, costing over $200. However, Easton also offers a wide range of bats that are reasonably priced, crafted out of wood, aluminum, and high-tech alloys. Easton has been a powerful force of innovation within the baseball bat industry. Easton launched its first line of stronger aluminum bats in the late 1970’s, and has been innovating ever since.
Easton fuses science and art by shaping swift barrels and handles, while utilizing high-tech metals like titanium and specialized aluminum alloys. Many of their bats are reinforced with double walls, which not only strengthens the barrel but also strengthens the ball-to-bat pop. Easton baseball bats are designed for all leagues and cater to serious baseball players. The key to their success has been innovation and durable products that have a high customer loyalty rating.
Demarini baseball bats are highly respected industry-wide. They rocked onto the scene in 1990. Innovative and reasonably priced, Demarini unleashed a double walled bat that quickly earned it a place in the baseball bat market. Demarini boasts a line of bat models specially designed for slow pitch, fast pitch softball, and baseball.
Recently, Demarini unfurled an exciting Flex model that is endowed with a flexible, composite handle. This gives the batter unprecedented power to catapult the ball via the recoiling action that pops the ball with extra force. Demarini baseball bats have a wide price range, from under $100 to over $300, and offer just about any player at any level a solid choice they can feel confident about.
