Easton Salvo 12.75" Loaded Dual Stamp 240 Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SPSAL1L Bomb softballs well beyond the outfield fence when you arrive at home plate with an Easton Salvo! Bat Benefits One-piece bats are back this season thanks to this Easton Salvo! One could say that it is "just" a one-piece bat, but Easton meticulously crafted it to make it perform at a cutting-edge level. The barrel of the bat is going to receive the TCT Thermo Composite material. If you were a baseball player 5-10 years back, we would guess that you remember the Mako bat made by Easton. Well, those Makos featured this exact same TCT Thermo Composite. Those Makos mashed back in the day and this Salvo will mash as well. As mentioned earlier, the bat is a one-piece model, but Easton has used their engineering genius to incorporate two different blends of composite material into it. The TCT Thermo Composite material exists on the barrel and the Sic Black Carbon Composite will compose the handle. The Sic Black Carbon material should be able to reduce the amount of vibration that reaches a batter's hands even if they don't square up the softball on the sweet spot! This Salvo would be a great model for consideration if you are a power hitter as it has Easton's "Loaded" distinction in regard to the barrel weighting. We have found that Easton's "Loaded" bats typically feel similar to other slow pitch bats that have the "slightly end-loaded" feel to them. And if you were a contact hitter that wanted to try your hand at using a bat with a little bit of a barrel load, this one could definitely be considered! And it would be remiss of us if we didn't mention the big thing that will endear slow pitch players to this bat. And that it is going to be its "dual-stamped" certification. The big two groups that organize slow pitch softball are USSSA and USA Softball (ASA).
