2022 Easton empire
Received the bat very quickly! Put about 20 swings on it so far and it feels great! Lots of pop
The 2022 Easton Empire Dennis Rulli Balanced SSUSA senior softball is here. This bat is actually pretty good. The ball jumps and the bat has a decent feel to it. I am not a fan of long barrel Eastons by any stretch, but this bat feels on point from a weight distribution perspective. Sounds pretty good to. If opting for a shave, I would keep it to level 1 to maintain durability. Level 2 and 3 are crazy hot, but not very durable. Overall, an excellent choice.
** NOTE -- there is a chance if you are getting this bat shaved, decal creases, end cap shrinkage or some discoloration will occur near the end cap when removing the cap from the bat. All new Easton slow pitch bats are vinyl wrapped (not painted) and the laminate decal tends to crease or discolor as pressure is applied. This doesn't happen all the time, but it can happen. If you do not want to run the risk of creasing, shrinkage or discoloration, the end cap will have to be drilled out and replaced which is $30 additional. There is an end cap product to add to the order. The end cap replacement is a direct match, factory cap. Search "End Cap" on the website and add 1 to the cart along with the bat **
