The Easton Hype Fire aims to outshine competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the DeMarini CF with its focus on a high-octane combination of power, speed, and comfort. While the Slugger Meta is known for its groundbreaking vibration-dampening system and the DeMarini CF for its balanced swing, the Hype Fire is engineered to capture the best of both worlds, adding a distinctive edge in aesthetics and ergonomic design to ignite the performance of any player looking to make a statement.


### Progression of the Easton Hype Fire Baseball Bat:


The biggest differences between the 2023 and 2024 is a redesigned TCT™ Barrel aimed at widening the sweet spot, improving off-center hits, and maximizing the overall performance area.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son loves the 30", 5oz Easton Fire bat. It's hot straight out of the wrapper and feels lighter than his old one. The colors are bold but the grip is great. It has a normal composite bat sound and a well-balanced swing with a lot of pop. Highly recommended.
* My son switched to Easton Hype Fire bat after being a fan of Marucci for years. He loves the huge sweet spot, lighter weight and tons of pop. According to him, it's the perfect bat for USSSA.
* I love to see the confidence this bat gives my son. He's a very strong hitter, but with this bat, I see him being more patient, trusting his swing more, and hitting harder balls. 


**CONS**



* My son used this bat for about 2-3 months before small cracks in the bat started to form. He still used it because his old bat (30-inch -8 Demarini Zoa) was broken. It is an amazing bat but it probably won't last a full season in 13U baseball because of the speed.
* My son's new bat, a 30" (-8), has a small 1/2" crack after just two sessions of coach pitch BP with around 50 hits. It's brittle and we've never used it on a tee or machine. I'm surprised at how quickly it broke.
* I wish they were made stronger. It has great pop, great swing but the durability is lacking. Our original purchase cracked in a month and our replacement cracked in 2 months.

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Hype Fire is the hottest, lightest swinging bat right now. The swing rate is very fast. It's a balanced, two piece composite bat. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on that bat's second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The flames are yellow, orange, and red. The players love that. 

Pop: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vibration: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alpha ALX

ADV Hype

### Expert Notes
The Easton ADV Hype metal bat series is a batting average’s best friend. Considering
the success of older ADV Hype models, it’s surprising to see that the 2022 ADV Hype
release features a different barrel, handle, and connection piece than those earlier
versions. But the rave reviews make it clear that these
updates were well-received. Still older ADV Hype models have a lot to offer
hitters, too. The one throughline is the balanced and
lightweight feel. 

Regardless of which model of this bat you prefer,
one swing should convince you that the Hype is real.

Maxum 360

### Expert Notes
Big barrels are the main attraction for Easton’s Maxum 360. A direct descendant of the
Combat Maxum line, the newest 2020 model delivers that same XXL barrel that fans of the original will crave. And you will be
thrilled to know the Easton Maxum 360 offers the same LizardSkin grip that the original
Maxums from 2016, 2017, and 2018 were adored for. There’s something about this
bat’s orange, grey, and white colorway that hitters swear enhances their swag
at the plate. If you like one-piece composite bats that don’t hold back in pop production,
then you’ll love the Easton Maxum 360 metal bat.

Z-Core

### Product Description 

The Easton Z-Core features Lock and Load technology, which allows you to adjust your swing weight. There are three on-the-fly swing weight settings to choose from: Speed, Balanced, or XL. This makes the Z-Core bat a highly customizable option for different hitting styles. The Z-Core also features one of the longest aluminum barrels that you’ll find. Easton’s patented Hyperlite Matrix (HMX) alloy helps to deliver a huge sweet spot and an incredible amount of pop. Lastly, the handle features Easton's Hyperskin Grip to reduce vibration and provide a comfortable grip experience for hitters.

### Expert Notes

The 2016 Easton Z-Core is a single-piece aluminum alloy bat with a balanced swing. The Z-Core, not to be confused with the Z-Core Torq or Z-Core XL, incorporates an internal composite reinforcement along the length of its barrel. This gives the bat a considerably large barrel for a single-piece alloy. Easton often refers to this as ‘Mako-izing’ the bat which is a reference to the Easton Mako’s large barrel size.
