## Easton ADV 360 Baseball Bat

  

The Easton ADV 360 is a technological pinnacle in the brand’s long history of designing baseball bats. The ADV 360’s design takes advantage of Easton's Launch Composite Technology, a larger barrel contour, and a more responsive (and forgiving) sweet spot. The bat’s overall engineering ensures precision and flexibility across the entire barrel for more consistent performance. With its two-piece iSO ConneXion™ design, the ADV 360 absorbs vibration, delivering an unmatched feel at contact.

  
**Perfect bat for**: Hitters looking for an edge in bat speed, comfort, and overall performance.

  

### Key features include:  
  

-   Launch Composite Technology: Provides a larger barrel contour with a more responsive and forgiving sweet spot for maximum performance.
    
-   Two-Piece iSO ConneXion™: Isolates the handle from the barrel, using Nitrocell foam to absorb vibration for a smoother feel upon contact.
    
-   Power Boost™ Soft Knob Technology: Increases leverage and power potential, while improving comfort and bat control.
    
-   Speed Cap™: Offers a more flexible and responsive barrel with a natural sound on impact.
    
-   DFS Carbon Handle: Creates an extra stiff feel at contact, maximizing energy transfer and offering zero vibration.

Against competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the DeMarini CF, the Easton ADV 360 distinguishes itself with its 360 Engineering and Launch Composite Technology, offering a unique combination of barrel flex, balance, and tuned performance. While the Meta is renowned for its EKO Composite Barrel and balanced swing, and the DeMarini CF is celebrated for its Paraflex Plus Composite for flexibility, the ADV 360's comprehensive design focuses on delivering a premium blend of speed, power, and comfort, setting a new benchmark for performance.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   I've always used Easton gear for baseball. Got this bat for my 9-year-old and it's impressive. Good pop and similar to the Easton Ghost, but with more power.
    
-   Nearly every player on our son's team uses or borrows this bat. It's popular because it hits home runs well.
    
-   I am 12 years old and I hit a home run in my last game with my Rawlings bat. Looking forward to next year!
    

**CONS**

-   I got two bats for my kids, a 29-11 and a 30-10. Both broke even though we used them properly and never misused them. I had to send them back to the manufacturer.
    
-   My son loved the bat, it improved his confidence and hitting skills. However, it cracked unexpectedly despite following the instructions. We're disappointed with the quality, and my son was heartbroken.
    
-   Although the bat was great while it worked, it's disappointing that it failed after just one year, especially not at the barrel. There seem to be manufacturing and durability issues with this expensive bat.
    

  

### Certification: USA, USSSA, BBCOR

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Easton ADV 360 is a two-piece composite bat. It has a light swing and big barrel. Perfect for the younger hitter. I think it is popular because of the paint job, which is bright neon yellow. It is more of a look than a performance bat, but still a very good bat that doesn’t have a huge amount of breakage. It's an average bat for either Little League or USSSA.

* **Revolutionary Composite Technology:** Crafted for peak performance, offering superior durability and an expanded sweet spot.

The Easton Hype Fire aims to outshine competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the DeMarini CF with its focus on a high-octane combination of power, speed, and comfort. While the Slugger Meta is known for its groundbreaking vibration-dampening system and the DeMarini CF for its balanced swing, the Hype Fire is engineered to capture the best of both worlds, adding a distinctive edge in aesthetics and ergonomic design to ignite the performance of any player looking to make a statement.


### Progression of the Easton Hype Fire Baseball Bat:


The biggest differences between the 2023 and 2024 is a redesigned TCT™ Barrel aimed at widening the sweet spot, improving off-center hits, and maximizing the overall performance area.


### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* My son loves the 30", 5oz Easton Fire bat. It's hot straight out of the wrapper and feels lighter than his old one. The colors are bold but 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 about 2-3 months before small cracks in the bat started to form. He still used it because his old bat (30-inch -8 Demarini Zoa) was broken. It is an amazing bat but it 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, great swing but the durability is lacking. Our original purchase cracked in a month and our replacement cracked in 2 months.


### Certification: USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts))

The Hype Fire is the hottest, lightest swinging bat right now. The swing rate is very fast. It's a balanced, two piece composite bat. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on that bat's 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 flames are yellow, orange, and red. The players love that.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**



* After extensive research, we found the perfect bat for our 10-year-old. It boosted his confidence and impressed his teammates. We recommend avoiding two-piece composite bats as they don't last long. 
* Bought this bat for my son playing in the minors. Great balance and pop. Added taper to the knob, and he loves it.
* The crack of the bat is sweet, didn't sting, very light for a 30 inch, grip is comfortable. 

**CONS**



* After about two weeks, noticed the sound and feel was different on contact. Inspected the bay and found a small fracture/crack.
* The bat feels hard, but there is also a ton of sting.
* Cracked within the first couple games. 


### **Certification**: USA


### Expert Notes (Parker)

The Easton ADV1 is a great entry-level bat that performs at a high level for USABat Certification. A composite bat that is a balanced lightweight bat that will perform for any hitter contact or power. For someone who is required to use USABat Certification this bat is going to be great for those higher-level players within USABat certification. The lightweight composite allows all kids to have the confidence to compete with the better pitchers who may throw faster.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)

**PROS**

-   I bought the Easton Ghost bat (28/18) for my 7-year-old son, who plays kid pitch. It's great! No vibration, excellent pop. He's excelled in batting since he started using it. Worth the cost. Highly recommended!
    
-   Bought the 29-inch version instead of the 28-inch for my 8-year-old. It makes a cracking sound, but he hits 20 feet further with it than his old bat. No vibration issues yet. Overall, a solid bat.
    
-   My 11-year-old son loved this bat. He used it in a tournament right out of the package and almost all of his team used it too. They scored 19 runs in that game.
    

**CONS**

-   Bought for 9-year-old. Looks cool but has a small sweet spot and hand vibrations. Decent pop, but needs 100 swings to break in."
    
-   Prices do NOT align with quality.
    
-   I bought the X-Evolution baseball bat on sale for my son, but it never performed well. Hits only made it to the infield, and there's a dead spot in the barrel's last 3-4 inches. This makes it challenging to hit outside pitches.
    

  
  

### Certification: USA, USSSA

### Expert Notes ([Tony from BatExperts](https://sidelineswap.com/batexperts))

The Ghost X Evolution is a two piece composite bat. It’s one of the better Little League bats of 2019 because it has a lighter weight and is easy to swing. In the USA marketplace, it was probably one of the better bats. It has a cool paint job, which is attractive for a Little Leaguer, where looks can often be more of a consideration than performance.

### What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)  

**PROS**



* My 8-year-old son finds the bat comfortable, well-balanced, and lightweight, with a great grip and pop.
* My child enjoys using it. It has a satisfying sound when hit solidly, but it lacks pop due to being a USA bat.
* A little heavy for a six-year-old, but it's a good bat for raking when choking up. Great value for closeouts!
* 

**CONS**



* After using this bat in two games, my son found it disappointing as the ball didn't travel far, likely due to its weight.
* If you're looking for extreme pop and exit speed, this may not be the best option for you.
* I didn't notice much of a difference in how the ball came off this bat compared to my son's $75 bat.


### **Certifications**: 

USSSA, USA


### Expert Notes ([Tony](https://sidelineswap.com/locker/batexperts)) 

This USA bat is designed for little league or a pony leagues. It won't be a very high-performance bat and, in general, is designed for safety. Typically, your little leaguer, who uses the USA stamp, is a player at an entry-level ability. With that said, the Ghost X Hyperlite was one of the best available USA bats. But any USA bat is going to be a mediocre performer overall. The Ghost X Hyperlite is very lightweight and very easy to swing. Smaller players do well with it.

Hype Comp Composite

### Expert Notes
The Easton ADV Hype metal bat series is a batting average’s best friend. Considering
the success of older ADV Hype models, it’s surprising to see that the 2022 ADV Hype
release features a different barrel, handle, and connection piece than those earlier
versions. But the rave reviews make it clear that these
updates were well-received. Still older ADV Hype models have a lot to offer
hitters, too. The one throughline is the balanced and
lightweight feel. 

Regardless of which model of this bat you prefer,
one swing should convince you that the Hype is real.

### Expert Notes
Endurance is the name of the game when it comes to Easton’s Mako bat series. Despite being discontinued in 2017, Easton Mako bats continue to sell very well in the modern market. This two-piece composite bat offers an additional jolt of pop at the plate, and its anti-vibration technology makes getting jammed a little less painful—physically, at least. The 2016 Easton Mako, in particular, has ascended into baseball bat folklore because of its neon green colorway and insane ability to demolish baseballs (although some hitters prefer the orange 2015 model, too). Considering the fantastic prices you can find Easton Mako’s listed at, it remains a top metal bat value pick.

### Expert Notes
Speed is indeed the name of the game for one of Easton’s flagship alloy bat series. The most recent 2022 Easton Speed bat has a one-piece composite construction, and
features the company’s Hyperlite material, which makes for an astonishingly fast swing. And while this release is beloved by us and others, many hitters have told me that
nothing beats the 2019 Easton Speed release, which became famous for its green handle, black barrel, and outstanding production at every level and age group. Regardless of which model you use, one thing is clear: hitters craft a special connection with their Easton Speed bats. Swinging a Speed might be all you need to accelerate your game.

Maxum 360 Composite

### Expert Notes
Big barrels are the main attraction for Easton’s Maxum 360. A direct descendant of the
Combat Maxum line, the newest 2020 model delivers that same XXL barrel that fans of the original will crave. And you will be
thrilled to know the Easton Maxum 360 offers the same LizardSkin grip that the original
Maxums from 2016, 2017, and 2018 were adored for. There’s something about this
bat’s orange, grey, and white colorway that hitters swear enhances their swag
at the plate. If you like one-piece composite bats that don’t hold back in pop production,
then you’ll love the Easton Maxum 360 metal bat.

Black Magic Alloy

Ghost X Composite

### Expert Notes
Although Easton’s Ghost X bat series was discontinued in 2019, it continues to haunt pitchers (including me). Power hitters in particular rave about how big the two-piece, composite Ghost X bat’s barrel is while not sacrificing swing speed, which leads to smashing balls on the sweet spot. The most recent 2019 Ghost X evolved from older Ghost models by allowing for very little vibration when you hitters out there get jammed on a filthy inside fastball. The natural evolution from Easton’s legendary Mako bat series, their Ghost X bat line is still highly sought after by hitters of all ages and skill levels. And since a Ghost X bats’ power doesn’t diminish over time, you hitters should expect a power boost when wielding this Easton stick at the dish.

Encore Hybrid

Mako Beast Composite

### Expert Notes
The Easton Mako Beast is proof that some bats surpass their expected expiration date.
Released in 2017, this Easton model offers a deadly combo of a light swing and a big
barrel to create a terrifying bat for we pitchers. The two-piece, composite Mako Beast
evolved from Easton’s legendary Mako bat series (my favorite metal bat of all time), but was updated to include a longer barrel than the original Mako. Aside from that, not
much else has changed between older Mako models and the 2018 Mako Beast (not
including this bat’s sweet black matte colorway with grey accents). Although Easton has
released a number of excellent metal bats over the years, many hitters 
consider the 2017 Beast Mako to be one of their all-time best. And if you use this bat, you
might reach your peak, as well.

Easton Ghost Composite

XL1 Composite

### Expert Notes
Easton’s XL1 bat series retired while it was still on top—but that doesn’t mean these
bats should stop seeing steady use. The most recent Easton XL1 release was in 2015,
with a bright orange bat that came with a two-piece composite, end loaded feel that was
preferred by many of my power hitter teammates. These same hitters also mentioned
that the neon yellow 2014 XL1 model is not only equally good as its newer orange
evolution, but also one of the best metal bats of all time. (_Pitcher's note_: I still have trauma
from all the bombs that Easton XL1 bats have hit against me.)

Beast X Alloy

### Expert Notes
The 2018 Beast X is another stellar addition to the Easton metal bat family. It achieved a sort of cult status upon its release due to it being one of the lightest one piece alloy bats available—and many baseball players (me included) really love the highlighter yellow colorway it came with. In my opinion, it’s the best looking metal bat that Easton bat ever made. The Beast X evolved from Easton’s Z-Core line of bats, although it adds a lizard skin grip and lighter swing speed that the Z-Core models didn’t have. If you don’t want to break the bank on a balanced, lightweight, aesthetically pleasing bat, consider the Easton Beast X this season.

Z-Core Alloy

### Product Description 

The Easton Z-Core features Lock and Load technology, which allows you to adjust your swing weight. There are three on-the-fly swing weight settings to choose from: Speed, Balanced, or XL. This makes the Z-Core bat a highly customizable option for different hitting styles. The Z-Core also features one of the longest aluminum barrels that you’ll find. Easton’s patented Hyperlite Matrix (HMX) alloy helps to deliver a huge sweet spot and an incredible amount of pop. Lastly, the handle features Easton's Hyperskin Grip to reduce vibration and provide a comfortable grip experience for hitters.

### Expert Notes

The 2016 Easton Z-Core is a single-piece aluminum alloy bat with a balanced swing. The Z-Core, not to be confused with the Z-Core Torq or Z-Core XL, incorporates an internal composite reinforcement along the length of its barrel. This gives the bat a considerably large barrel for a single-piece alloy. Easton often refers to this as ‘Mako-izing’ the bat which is a reference to the Easton Mako’s large barrel size.
