For 2010, Easton has made some smart changes
For 2010, Easton has made some smart changes to its best-selling composite bat the Stealth/Synergy IMX. In addition to renaming it the Easton Stealth/Synergy Speed bat, Easton has added a slightly lower swing weight and stiff handle option on the two-piece bat rather than offering a stiff handle hybrid as they did last year with the SV12. In 2010 you’ll see that Easton continues to lead by providing helpful information about each bat. Buyers can see at a glance the swingweight (MOI) and hitting area of the bats. This year each bat will also include a rating indicating its handle flex–the higher the number, the stiffer the handle. This kind of information is very useful when choosing a bat and makes me wonder why other manufacturers don’t provide it.
