| Feb. 15, 2014 suitcase81056 Men's 50 1 posts | New senior bats Does any one have an accurate release date for the Easton "Elder" and the Louisville Slugger "Hyper Z" and where they can be purchased? |
| Feb. 15, 2014 ffdonnie Men's 60 137 posts | According to guys on Softballfans board, Hyper Z pushed out to July. Easton due April, hope that isn't delayed with the Easton buy-out though. |
| Feb. 16, 2014 Enviro-Vac Men's 65 489 posts | Sounds like Bauer has reached a purchase agreement on Easton |
| Feb. 16, 2014 BruceinGa Men's 70 3233 posts | I just found out that Bauer recently bought Combat. |
| Feb. 16, 2014 Gorilla Boy Men's 50 271 posts | Bauer bought Combat and now Bauer has bought Easton. It should make it for a wild deal... Mighty Mike aka: Gorilla Boy |
| Feb. 16, 2014 SALSAKID49 Men's 60 161 posts | Done deal... Easton-Bell Sports Reaches Agreement to Sell Easton Baseball/Softball to Bauer Performance Sports for $330 Million..

| Feb. 20, 2014 D.Litch Men's 50 15 posts | I've been hitting the Easton Elder since January... It's all been in cages and haven't gone outside to hit for distance 'yet' BUT, big sweet spot, ball comes off like a rocket! And the best part, we've had an average of 6 guys hitting with it, at least 2 buckets per guy for 7 weeks now... Thats at least 2500 cuts on the bat!!! I've busted Ultra II's in 60! |
| March 4, 2014 mnball 29 posts | The Easton Elder I swung had close to 1,000 cuts and was insane. That's why our 50 major team jumped at the chance to do a buy in with Easton. We feel very happy about buying our bats at $140.00 a piece and we also get significant discount on all ASA / USSSA bats and bags,hats, shirts etc. For me I put the Easton Elder ahead of my Boombah Boss, Worth Legit, Monsta Fossil, Reebok Barrage and Mele, and my new Demarini The One EL, the Combat Wanted Full Load is my second best bat. I had a chance to hit the TPS Hyper Z for about 10 cuts and the bat had roughly 75 swings on it and I was impressed with that bat but I was told that the bat didn't see 150 cuts. For us, we can swing what we want because our deal is in fact a buy in program and that's why I have all these other senior bats. |

| March 6, 2014 Adiktiv6 Men's 60 90 posts | mnball, is it possible to gat a phone number from you on the Easton Elder? One of my hitting partners would like to see if he could work out the same buy-in deal! Thanks, A dik |
| March 6, 2014 Adiktiv6 Men's 60 90 posts | or maybe I can "get" that number from you.....sheesh, fat fingers!! A dik |
| March 6, 2014 mnball 29 posts | Adiktiv6, I have had lots of people ask about our buy in program. The best way is to locate your local Easton Rep in your state and find out from him/her if that particular program is available. If it is then you will be able to buy as many Senior/ASA/USSSA bats as you wish at a discounted price along with everything else that Easton sells. Here in MN, our 50 major team was one of only 6 teams in the state to participate in the buy in program. I would think that would change a bit state to state. Good luck. |
| March 7, 2014 Adiktiv6 Men's 60 90 posts | mnball, Thanks for the info, I am sure my hitting partner is already on it if he has read your post! Have a great Senior SB year!! A dik |
| March 13, 2014 softball4b Men's 70 1248 posts | The GSC P413 has been added to the approved bat list. |
