Easton’s Tiny Innovation Is Huge

Easton has an eighty-four year history of leading the market by developing new materials and innovative products. Easton has been manufacturing sporting goods using carbon-fiber composites since 1989 and has been the leading brand of composite bicycle handlebars since their introduction in 1998. Now Easton’s research and development team is proud to present a revolutionary breakthrough in composite materials and manufacturing for baseball bats and softball bats.

The Next Frontier

Nanotechnology is the next frontier in scientific research and advanced manu-facturing. Nanotechnology deals with the manipulation of materials on an atomic or molecular scale measured in billionths of a meter (nanometers). Scientists worldwide are spending countless man-hours and billions of dollars researching uses for nanotechnology in the areas of electronics, medicine, robotics and structural reinforcement.

Enhanced Resin System

The weakest areas in a traditional carbon-fiber component are the tiny spaces between the fibers that contain only resin. To radically improve strength and toughness in these critical areas, Easton Scientists have developed an innovative Enhanced Resin System using carbon nanotubes (CNT). Carbon nanotubes are an array of carbon atoms arranged in a pattern of hexagons and pentagons (similar to the pattern found on soccer balls). These structures can be manufactured in tubular shapes one billionth of a meter in diameter, hence the name nanotube. Carbon nanotubes have been called “the strongest fiber that will ever be made”. Nanotubes have a strength-to-weight ratio orders of magnitude greater than steel.

Easton’s proprietary process impregnates the resin/fiber matrix with evenly distributed carbon nanotubes. The addition of real carbon nanotubes greatly improves the toughness and strengthens Easton’s already legendary components.

Material Evolution

It’s hard to believe now, but years ago wood was the material of choice for many sporting goods. The advent of strong aluminum and titanium alloys made wood obsolete. In recent years, high-performance carbon-fiber components have one-upped their metal counterparts in terms of both strength and weight. And now, with the advent of CNT nanocomposites, Easton has unleashed a new breed of superior bicycle components.

A Strong Future

Beginning in 2006, many Easton carbon components will feature carbon nanotube (CNT) technology. This is just the beginning. Easton is committed to continued research and development using these exciting new materials. Watch closely as Easton introduces new super-strong products implementing nanotechnology in the coming years.

Easton Stealth Baseball Bats

Easton sweats the small stuff.

The Easton Stealth is a fusion of high tech flexible composite structures with the proven technologies that have consistently made Easton the most feared bat in the College, High School and Youth Baseball across the country.

Acts like a hinge to provide the most efficient energy transfer from handle to barrel.

+ The result: Maximum bat head “whip” for a quicker bat and more power through the hitting zone.

Easton’s Unique Opti-Flex™ Composite Handle Technology

+ Provides maximum handle flex – up to three times greater than aluminum.

Easton’s Exclusive Sc999™ Triple 9 Alloy

+ The strongest and toughest alloy on the market, providing maximum

barrel performance.

With the introduction of the new Stealth models Easton has ushered in a new level of High Performance High Quality bat, not to mention baseballs best warranty: 400 Days.

"Overall, both (Stealths) were great bats. The main difference to me is that the ball felt like it jumps off the red harder. You can definitely feel the flex difference in the two bats, the red having a golf club effect. I’ve swung a lot of bats and these two are exceptional compared to the rest of the new models."

"I liked the Red (BST10 Flex) better than the Blue (BST9 Stiff). The red just plain felt better to me, with less sting and about the same pop. You really can tell the difference between the way the two bats feel when you hit the ball, with the blue feeling more like a traditional aluminum bat, but the red feeling more smooth throughout the swing. Don't get me wrong, both bats are awesome, but the red BST10 feels more forgiving for a smaller guy like myself."
