Easton 360 ADV

The -8 drop weight indicates the difference between the bat's length in inches and its weight in ounces. A -8 is a slightly heavier, more powerful option compared to lighter -10 or -12 models, making it a great transition bat for players moving toward high school play who want more mass behind their swing.

The Easton 360 ADV features a balanced swing weight, which makes it highly versatile. It is particularly effective for contact hitters who need control, but the composite construction also provides enough pop for power hitters to drive the ball deep.

The two-piece design, combined with the iSo ConneXion piece, separates the handle from the barrel. This significantly reduces vibration and sting in the hands on mishits, providing a much smoother, more comfortable feel compared to one-piece aluminum bats.

If it loses its grip, it is easily replaceable with any standard bat tape, though you should avoid getting it excessively wet to preserve the material integrity of muddy to preserve its texture.
