### 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. 

Pop: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Durability: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Vibration: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

### Product Description

If you’re in the market for a new pair of baseball cleats, you’ve got to include New Balance in the conversation. As made popular by players like Dustin Pedroia (who rocks the latest version, the 4040v4’s), New Balance’s 4040v3 metal baseball cleats are a solid option for any player. Featuring a debris-free tongue, the 4040v3 cleats are constructed with New Balance’s FantomFit design to create an ultra-light upper that provides a ton of support while being a comfortable fit. The design is achieved by fusing two thin materials together without sewing them together. The midsole is super responsive, and the metal cleats along the plate will give you impeccable traction.

### Expert Notes

If you are worried about the break in period,  don’t be -- these take roughly a day to form to your feet. The 4040v3 are so comfortable that you will honestly think you have slippers on during a baseball game. Performance wise, the 4040v3 will make you feel unstoppable when it comes to feeling like you can run faster or jump higher.  Whether it's stealing second base or leaping up to rob a home run, these cleats won’t let you down.
