Easton Bell Sports is a manufacturing company in Van Nuys, CA that began manufacturing easton bats in the mid 70´s, who today makes composite, alloy and wooden bats.

Easton now makes a wide range of bat styles and specifications that help batters of all skill levels.

The are an industry leader and have done the necessary investment in technology and research to make bats that help players improve their performance.

Easton has developed three new technology for their recent bats called the CNT or carbon nanotube technology, the IMX or integrated matrix and the Connexion technology.

The carbon nanotube technology enhances Easton´s proprietary resin system. So, in effect, the CNT strengthens the handle design. Connexion technology creates an efficient transfer of energy in the bat that goes from the handle to the barrel.

IMX technology is basically what Easton uses to strengthen the structure of composite bats. They do this by angling aerospace fibers in layers along the barrel. This has an additional effect of maximizing the hitting area. Vibration is reduced to a minimum with this IMX technology.

In addition to the new bat technology they have introduced, Easton bats are also made as composite bat, aluminum/alloy and wood.

Easton Sports makes two lines of bats that are composite bats. The Stealth IMX and the Synergy IMX are both composite bats. The difference between the two is that the Stealth has more handle flex than the Synergy. They also make two other youth models called the Power Hitter and the LCN11.

The Synergy has a one piece stiff handle and was introduced in order to compete with Lousiville. They´ve has a two piece stiff handled bat for a while and just recently began to manufacture the one piece bat (stiff handle).
These two bats are pretty much the most popular composite bat from youth to college level.

A hybrid bat is one that has a composite handle and and alloy barrel. Easton makes a hybrid bat called the SV12. Even though the Stealth IMX has handle flex, the SV12 has more flex.

The v12 model is a one piece, 100% alloy bat and is the stiffest handle bat among all the Easton bats.

Easton makes other 100% Alloys. The Stealth CNT is one and comes with either a flex or a stiff handle. The Stealth CNT is the alloy bat that most baseball players prefer and is known to be the best of the 100% alloy bats.

Easton is well known for using high tech materials and manufacturing to create their bats, and something you should know is that while most manufacturers claim to have a sweet spot, Easton bats produce performance along the whole length of the barrel, not just a sweet spot. The entire barrel is the sweet spot!

Easton has achieved a lighter MOI in their Stealth Speed line by a new manufacturing process that reduces barrel mass. A player can swing faster with a lighter MOI.

One of their newest bats is called the Easton stealth speed XL which boasts the longest barrel, lightest weight and fastest swing of any bat in the entire little league industry.
