Easton Salvo 13.5" Loaded Dual Stamp 240 Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SPSAL2L Say "Hello" to a slow pitch bat that can be used in any league out there: The Easton Salvo! Bat Benefits The Salvo line of bats is legendary within the slow pitch market and this model will not disappoint! It is going to feature the two-piece design that slow pitch hitters have truly come to love in recent years. The barrel and handle of the bat are going to be fused together by Easton's ConneXion technology. This connector piece ensures that no discomfort reaches a batter's hands when they hit a ball off-center from the sweet spot. As well, that piece makes sure that there is an optimal amount of flex at the connection point when a softball is being hit. Easton has crafted the bat with two different types of composite. For the former baseball players out there, you might remember the Easton Mako bat from 5-10 years ago. That Mako employed TCT Thermo Composite material on its barrel. Well, you former baseball studs will be glad to hear that this Salvo will feature that same exact material. The Mako crushed baseballs back in the day and the Salvo will crush softballs this season! Partnering with the TCT Thermo Composite will be the Sic Black Carbon material on the handle. The Sic Black material should work with the ConneXion technology to keep vibration from getting down to a batter's hands. The "Loaded" barrel feel that Easton has put on this bat will get the power hitters psyched as they usually like a little bit of heft in the barrel of their bats. However, Easton's "Loaded" distinction compares most similarly to "slightly end-loaded" bats from other manufacturers. Because of it only feeling "slightly end-loaded", we feel that this Salvo will be an enticing option for contact hitters looking to add some power to their game.
