Easton's Prominence in Baseball

by Joe Rodgers

Easton has been on the forefront of many advances in sporting good technology. It is a company that was started in the 1930's by Doug Easton initially because of his interests in creating better quality arrows made of aluminum that would change traditional archery. Easton has emerged itself as a leader in making sporting goods because of their advances in the use of aluminum and that has carried into many other sport such as baseball, softball, hockey and biking over the last 50 years, all while standing behind the quality of what they distribute into the market.

Years later, Easton jumped into producing baseball bats and was recognized for their innovative aluminum baseball bats, a design that was introduced in the early 1970's. They have been the first to improve on new technologies every step of the way throughout the evolution of aluminum baseball bats. Easton baseball bat developers have lead the way in creating baseball bats out of new lighter weight and more durable metals such as scandium and titanium for enhanced performance as well as using composite metals that are state-of-the-art as of now. Easton also played a role in introducing multi-wall technology which adds to the overall area and performance of the 'sweet spot' on the barrel. Easton now sells a triple-wall bat known as the 'tri-shell' design and is the only bat making company to use this technology. They were the first to develop a two-part baseball bat when they started producing their 'Connexion' series, which gives flexibility to the bat for enhanced power. Easton baseball bats are setting trends for other bat making companies today.

Easton now supplies many models of aluminum baseball bats to ensure that there is a bat out there to meet an individual's specific needs. They have youth, high-school, and collegiate certified baseball bats as well as an adult line. Easton baseball bat reviews are always more than satisfactory and the improvements on their products are made to improve your game.

Joe Rodgers has taught at all competitive levels of baseball and maintains a website about baseball bats.
