Easton Rival BBCOR Has Single System Technology

For the 2012 baseball season, players should consider buying the Easton Rival BBCOR BG2 Adult. Meant for high school and college levels, this bat is known for its huge sweet spot. It is a -3 bat with a 100% aluminum barrel and it comes with a 400-day manufacturer's warranty.

This bat was made for players of all shapes and sizes. It has four sizes: 31″ 28 oz., 32″ 29 oz., 33″ 30 oz. and 34″ 31 oz.

The alloy is considered 100ksi strength with extraordinary toughness for superior dent and crack resistance.

It's best to hold and swing all sizes before deciding what is best for you. Consider also any growth spurts that may happen in the next year or two.

This bat has other great features including the following: 2 5/8-inch diameter, 31/32-inch handle with Stiff Flex Rating, Brace Barrel technology that meets BBCOR standards, cushioned grip, Single System Technology one piece design to increase bat control and balance, and it has low moment inertia for faster swing speeds.

Players rave about the pop this bat has and how it helps them play better. In addition, it's a great looking bat. The colors are gray, black and white with traces of dark orange. The logo on the bat knob is black and blue and gives you the size of the bat. There's also a slogan that reads, "The Difference is Easton." Many players say the Easton Rival BBCOR BG2 Adult is one of the best looking BBCOR bats.

There have been some complaints about this bat, though. Many aren't too thrilled that it is made of aluminum and they claim it scratches easily. While some people will just naturally prefer composite bats, others see no difference in performance between the two.

If you want to see this bat in person, that could be difficult. Most sporting goods stores don't stock a lot of bats, so they may not have this one available. Instead, you'll have to purchase it online. Amazon has the cheapest rates. Because this bat has so many good reviews, you're likely not to be disappointed with it.

Don't forget that in the end it isn't about who has the most popular or expensive bat.  It's all about you and how the bat feels in your hands.  Is it easy to swing?  Does it feel good when you hit the ball or does it sting.

Keep those things in mind when you are bat shopping and check out the Easton Rival BBCOR.
