Easton ADV 360 -10 & -8 USSSA Youth Baseball Bat | 2 3/4" Barrel | Lightweight Alloy Construction for Power & Control | Perfect for Youth League Games & Training

It’s exactly what I expected. My kids 11u coach had nothing but awesome things to say about this bat and he was backed up by other kids parents and the 12u coach as well. We got it in time for my sons Wednesday game where he went 3-3 at the plate with 2 big bangers (doubles) and finished with a line drive single.The ball just pops!Great bat at a great price. Lots of pop off the barrel. Bat does swing a little heavy so my son’s bat speed is slowed a bit. Ball still jumps off of the bat!So first of all, GREAT BAT! I am a dad with 7 kids, several of which play sports. I cannot afford to throw $350 around on a bat every few months. This bat is beautiful, high quality and everything Easton says it is. I did one thing with bat break in that I read online. I took my kid to the batting cage. He hit a little over 100 balls and made a 1/4 turn on the barrel between each ball. The bat really came alive after that. With another 50 balls off the tee and some live pitching he is loving it! He plays 12U select ball and the bat has already shown more resilience and durability than his CF Zen that cracked. Nice job Easton! A beautiful bat that we can trust to get the job done.The best part was the money spent on the bat. However, the seller should try to avoid USPS since their tracking system vs. what the postman actually delivered was off by 2 business days! Luckily, my boy got the new bat before the tournament. He loved it when he used at the first swing. He should use -10 but he loves to swing -8 for the pop! Great product and pop!Great bat, it’s a bit end loaded, but the weight distribution doesn’t seem to affect overall bat speed through the zone.I bring up the weight distribution, for kids who might be using a bigger bat size for the first time - maintaining bat speed could initially be a challenge.The pop on this bat is insane though, it easily added 15 feet or more to my son’s longer hits. This is due to bat construction, but also a huge sweet spot.Will definitely buy again when we need a bigger bat!My son plays on a 10u team and has had a ton of success with this bat. 3 months into it, it shattered. Easton was great about the warranty and we just received a new one.If it hadn't shattered so fast it would be an easy 5 star!This was an extremely hot bat. The problem is that it is about two months old and it cracked yesterday. It was a nice shot, line drive to the fence but it cracked right on the barrel of the bat in the sweet spot. Warranty claim filed with Easton we will see what they do.
