Baseball - Easton 08 Synergy Flex SCN8 Slowpitch Softball Bat -

Boasting a combination of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and Integrated Matrix (IMX) technologies, the SCN8B Synergy bat continues to dominate the fast-pitch game. The CNT construction strengthens the bat's composite structures, thus optimizing the design for maximum performance, while the IMX synchronizes the relationship between the materials, design technologies, and manufacturing process. Add in Easton's patented Extended Flex design--which stretches the sweet spot along the entire length of the barrel--and you have a bat that easily meets all 2007 performance standards from ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, SSUSA, and ISF. Other details include an attractive clear coat finish with sleek four-color graphics; an evenly balanced design that maximizes swing speed; an ultra-thin 29/32-inch handle with a Pro-Tack cushioned grip; a 2-1/4-inch barrel diameter; and a -10 length-to-weight ratio. The Synergy CNT bat--which is designed exclusively for fast-pitch softball play--is backed by a one-year warranty. About Easton In 1922, Doug Easton began crafting custom wood bows and cedar arrows in Watsonville, California. Although Doug produced tournament-grade, footed cedar arrows for the archery champions of that era, he was constantly frustrated with the inconsistency and lack of uniformity of wood shafts. Convinced that consistently straight uniform arrow shafts were impossible to manufacture from wood, Doug turned his attentions to aluminum. In 1939, he began manufacturing aluminum arrows in Los Angeles. His instincts about this material were correct, and in 1941, California archer Larry Hughes won the national championship with a set of Doug's aluminum arrows. This was the beginning of a trend that would change traditional archery and transcend into numerous other sports arenas over the next 50 years. Today, Jas. D.
