Easton Softball Bat Reviews - Easton SST1 Stealth Softball Bats

The Stealth doesn’t hit like the other Easton offerings. It sounds different, it feels different and it works as both a home run bat and a singles bat, the perfect combination for each player.

The other Half & Half bats in Easton’s line have composite handles and aluminum barrels. With the bulk of the weight in the barrel, they swing like end loaded bats, speeding up the batter’s swing for more distance. The stealth is all composite, so the weight is distributed more evenly which means the bat won’t automatically speed up every swing. We didn’t find that to be a disadvantage.

This bat can be used for power and it can be used to spray the ball to the opposite field. It swings a little lighter than other Easton models; you may want to try an ounce heavier than you normally use.

We must admit we didn’t fall in love with the bat right away. The sound is muffled; it doesn’t sound like you are hitting the ball as hard as you are. The sweet spot was not where we initially thought it was and the first round of swings didn’t lead anyone to believe this bat had any pop. We decided it must be a “line drive” bat and started trying just to hit smooth line shots with it. That worked so well that without trying we were beginning to find the pop we were told this bat has.
