2024 Easton Hype Fire Composite USSSA Certified Bat, Drop 5, 25 oz, 30" (Used)

The 2024 Easton Hype Fire Drop 5 USSSA baseball bat is a two-piece composite bat known for its high performance, large sweet spot, and balanced feel. The 25 oz bat has a length of 30 inches and a 2 3/4-inch barrel diameter, making it suitable for youth players in USSSA travel baseball. Performance features: Redesigned Thermo Composite Technology (TCT) barrel: The barrel was re-engineered to create a wider sweet spot and lower compression, resulting in harder and more consistent contact with the ball, even on mishits. Balanced swing weight: The balanced feel of the bat, along with a lower Moment of Inertia (MOI), is designed for more bat speed and better barrel control. Connexion Max: This elastomer connector interlocks the handle and barrel, dampening vibration to provide a solid, comfortable feel on contact. OptiFlex Handle: The handle's flex is specifically engineered for elite travel ball athletes, offering an optimal balance of stiffness and flex for enhanced feel and power. Power Boost Soft Knob: The knob is designed to give hitters more leverage, reduce vibration, and improve comfort on the bottom hand. Flow-Tack Grip: This provides a comfortable and tacky feel for better control during the swing. Appearance: Colorway: The bat features a vibrant combination of yellow, orange, and red, with a "flame-inspired" graphic design. Special editions: A limited-edition "Arctic Flame" version of the bat was also released with a blue color scheme. Noteworthy information The high-performance nature of the bat led to its temporary banning in April 2024 from some Perfect Game events, although it remains USSSA certified.
