| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| The Hype Fire is hot straight out of the wrapper. The colors are bold and the grip is great. It has a normal composite bat sound and a well-balanced swing with a lot of pop. Highly recommended. |
| My son switched to Easton Hype Fire bat after being a fan of Marucci for years. He loves the huge sweet spot, lighter weight and tons of pop. According to him, it's the perfect bat for USSSA. |
| I love to see the confidence this bat gives my son. He's a very strong hitter, but with this bat, I see him being more patient, trusting his swing more, and hitting harder balls. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| My son used this bat for a couple months before small cracks in the bat started to form. It’s an amazing bat but probably won't last a full season in 13U baseball because of the speed. |
| My son's new bat, a 30" (-8), has a small 1/2" crack after just two sessions of coach pitch BP with around 50 hits. It's brittle and we've never used it on a tee or machine. I'm surprised at how quickly it broke. |
| I wish they were made stronger. It has great pop, but the durability is lacking. |
The Hype Fire is a balanced, two piece composite bat with a very fast swing rate. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on the second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The players love the flames. Certain leauges are starting to ban this bat, check that before you buy.
