## Easton ADV1 Baseball Bat

Easton ADV1 baseball bat is part of Easton's Project 3 Series and is designed for youth and college players. This model is mainly known for its one-piece, composite design, emphasizing a light swing weight without sacrificing power. Easton's deep-roots and commitment to technological advancement have made their bats some of the most revered and sought-after in the game. The Easton ADV1 bat is designed to offer young players an unprecedented combination of power, speed, and control that sets a new benchmark in the youth baseball category.

* **Power Boost™ "Soft Knob" Technology:** Delivers more leverage and power potential, while reducing vibration and improving comfort for the hitter.

The Easton ADV1 distinguishes itself with its innovative Ultra-Lite Launch Composite Technology, aimed at providing youth players with a bat that increases their swing speed and maximizes their hitting power. While the Louisville Slugger Solo is known for its ultra-balanced swing weight that maximizes swing speed, and the Marucci Cat 9 Composite boasts a more responsive barrel with a multi-directional composite material, the Easton ADV1's unparalleled combination of speed, power, and control, thanks to its unique set of technologies, positions it as the premier choice for youth players aiming to elevate their game to the highest level.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* After extensive research, we found the perfect bat for our 10-year-old. It boosted his confidence and impressed his teammates. We recommend avoiding two-piece composite bats as they don't last long. 
* Bought this bat for my son playing in the minors. Great balance and pop. Added taper to the knob, and he loves it.
* The crack of the bat is sweet, didn't sting, very light for a 30 inch, grip is comfortable. 

**CONS**



* After about two weeks, noticed the sound and feel was different on contact. Inspected the bay and found a small fracture/crack.
* The bat feels hard, but there is also a ton of sting.
* Cracked within the first couple games. 


### **Certification**: USA


### Expert Notes (Parker)

The Easton ADV1 is a great entry-level bat that performs at a high level for USABat Certification. A composite bat that is a balanced lightweight bat that will perform for any hitter contact or power. For someone who is required to use USABat Certification this bat is going to be great for those higher-level players within USABat certification. The lightweight composite allows all kids to have the confidence to compete with the better pitchers who may throw faster.

Mako

### Expert Notes
Endurance is the name of the game when it comes to Easton’s Mako bat series. Despite being discontinued in 2017, Easton Mako bats continue to sell very well in the modern market. This two-piece composite bat offers an additional jolt of pop at the plate, and its anti-vibration technology makes getting jammed a little less painful—physically, at least. The 2016 Easton Mako, in particular, has ascended into baseball bat folklore because of its neon green colorway and insane ability to demolish baseballs (although some hitters prefer the orange 2015 model, too). Considering the fantastic prices you can find Easton Mako’s listed at, it remains a top metal bat value pick.

Ghost X Hyperlite

## Easton Ghost X Hyperlite Baseball Bat

The Easton Ghost X Hyperlite series is renowned for its lightweight design—focused on providing speed and bat control for players. The Ghost X Hyperlite is a good example of the innovation, performance, and quality that has made Easton’s bats a favorite among players since 1922. With products for every level of the game, Easton continues to push the boundaries of technology and materials in their bats and other gear.

**Perfect bat for:** Younger players looking to improve bat speed with an ultra-light swing on a single composite bat.


### Key features include:



* **Composite Material:** Utilizing Easton’s exclusive EXACT Carbon Technology, this bat offers a lightweight, yet powerful construction for maximized swing speed and power.
* **HYPERLITE Barrel Design:** Optimizes the sweet spot for maximum performance across the entire barrel, allowing for quicker swings and more contact.
* **Speed Cap™:** Enhances the sound of the bat on contact, while also improving the flexibility of the barrel for a more responsive hit.
* **Lizard Skins™ Grip:** Provides ultimate comfort and tack, reducing hand fatigue and improving control during swings.

The Easton Ghost X Hyperlite holds its ground with its focus on lightweight design and swing speed, making it especially suitable for younger players or those looking to improve bat speed. While the Louisville Slugger Meta boasts a more advanced vibration-dampening system, and the DeMarini CF Zen offers a more balanced swing weight, the Ghost X Hyperlite excels in rapid swing speed and comfort.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)  

**PROS**



* My 8-year-old son finds the bat comfortable, well-balanced, and lightweight, with a great grip and pop.
* My child enjoys using it. It has a satisfying sound when hit solidly, but it lacks pop due to being a USA bat.
* A little heavy for a six-year-old, but it's a good bat for raking when choking up. Great value for closeouts!
* 

**CONS**



* After using this bat in two games, my son found it disappointing as the ball didn't travel far, likely due to its weight.
* If you're looking for extreme pop and exit speed, this may not be the best option for you.
* I didn't notice much of a difference in how the ball came off this bat compared to my son's $75 bat.

### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

This USA bat is designed for little league or a pony leagues. It won't be a very high-performance bat and, in general, is designed for safety. Typically, your little leaguer, who uses the USA stamp, is a player at an entry-level ability. With that said, the Ghost X Hyperlite was one of the best available USA bats. But any USA bat is going to be a mediocre performer overall. The Ghost X Hyperlite is very lightweight and very easy to swing. Smaller players do well with it.

Speed

### Expert Notes
Speed is indeed the name of the game for one of Easton’s flagship alloy bat series. The most recent 2022 Easton Speed bat has a one-piece composite construction, and
features the company’s Hyperlite material, which makes for an astonishingly fast swing. And while this release is beloved by us and others, many hitters have told me that
nothing beats the 2019 Easton Speed release, which became famous for its green handle, black barrel, and outstanding production at every level and age group. Regardless of which model you use, one thing is clear: hitters craft a special connection with their Easton Speed bats. Swinging a Speed might be all you need to accelerate your game.

Beast X Hybrid

### Product Description 

What do you think of when you hear the word “beast?” Strength. Force. Power. If you’re a power hitter, then the Easton Beast X Hybrid may be a great bat choice for you. During the 2018 season, the Beast X Hybrid was the successor of the Easton Z-CORE baseball bat. The Beast X Hybrid is constructed with Advanced Thermal Alloy, also known as ATAC alloy. ATAC alloy is responsible for the Beast X Hybrid’s pop --  or its explosive sound. The Beast X Hybrid comes with Easton's X-tended barrel design that features Z-CORE internal core technology. This lengthy barrel results in a massive sweet spot. Easton also added a 1.4mm Hyperskin grip to each Beast X Hybrid bat, which guarantees zero sting in the hands on mishits. If you’re looking for a slightly end loaded swing weight and a fast swing speed, be sure to check out the Easton Beast X Hybrid.

### Expert Notes 

The 2018 Easton Beast X is the new version of the 2017 Easton Z-Core Hybrid. They both use the same Z-Core barrel that was made famous in the 2016 version. If you’re a player who likes a slight end load to their bat, wants the largest barrel on a hybrid bat, and seek a good value on a performance two piece bat, the Beast X could be for you. In terms of marketing appeal and some minor upgrades, the 2018 Beast X Hybrid does come equipped with a new name for its barrel. The alloy is an upgrade, in Easton's view at least, in terms of durability and performance. The tactile difference between 2018 and 2017 is the thicker grip (1.4mm), when compared to the 1.2mm grip for the 2017 Z-Core Hybrid.

Beast X

### Expert Notes
The 2018 Beast X is another stellar addition to the Easton metal bat family. It achieved a sort of cult status upon its release due to it being one of the lightest one piece alloy bats available—and many baseball players (me included) really love the highlighter yellow colorway it came with. In my opinion, it’s the best looking metal bat that Easton bat ever made. The Beast X evolved from Easton’s Z-Core line of bats, although it adds a lizard skin grip and lighter swing speed that the Z-Core models didn’t have. If you don’t want to break the bank on a balanced, lightweight, aesthetically pleasing bat, consider the Easton Beast X this season.
