Swing for the Fences with Easton Softball Bats

Whether you were a kid playing softball back in the ’90s or you’re the parent of a high school softball player, you likely know Easton. 

A longtime leader in the industry, Easton softball bats have come a long way since your childhood, offering a variety of long-lasting materials and streamlined silhouettes designed to take any game to the next level. Hibbett | City Gear offers a wide selection of bats, including Easton fastpitch softball bats. 

Qualities to Consider in Easton Softball Bats

Like choosing a softball glove, you must select the bat that feels right for you. A bat’s length, weight and drop are all elements that can affect your overall swing and, in turn, your batting and scoring success. Here are some things to keep in mind when selecting an Easton softball bat:  

• Ensure your bat is the correct length. Position the bat knob at the center of your chest and extend the barrel out. If you can touch the end of the barrel with your fingertips, you’ve found the right length.

• Select the right weight. Choosing a bat that’s too heavy can hinder your swing. Test a bat by holding the handle with one hand while extending that arm out to your side. If you can hold the bat comfortably for 30 seconds, it should be a good bat to match your swing.

• Determine the drop. A bat’s drop is the difference between weight and length. A bat with a lesser drop will be heavier, which may be too much at the plate. If you can, find out the length and weight of a bat you’ve previously used. This will give you a good starting point, allowing you to test different options close to one you’ve had recent success with.
