2025 Easton Alpha 1 Piece Balanced Slowpitch Softball Bat 13 Inch USSSA (ESU5AL1B) — 232 Technology – A 5-flex barrel system designed to deliver hot performance with flex across the entire barrel
Description
The 2025 Easton Alpha Balanced USSSA bat is engineered for hitters who want a smooth, controlled swing with explosive results. Featuring a 13” barrel and Easton’s advanced 232 Barrel Technology, the Alpha uses a 5-flex point design with a plural resin system to create variable compression across the barrel, allowing for hot performance and consistent responsiveness throughout the entire hitting surface. This balanced swing weight is ideal for players who rely on bat speed, barrel control, and precision. The Flex 120 handle delivers tuned flex for extra whip through the zone, while the HDK23 carbon fiber construction ensures maximum strength and durability. The Power Boost Soft Knob adds comfort and bottom-hand leverage, rounding out a premium swing experience built for serious competition.

FAQ
Is this bat legal for my league?
It carries the USSSA and ISA and NSA certification stamps — always confirm this model against your league's current approved-bat list before game day. Playing a different sanction? See the 2024 Easton Alpha Resmondo Slowpitch Softball Bat Loaded USSSA.
Is it covered by a warranty?
Yes — a full 1 year Easton manufacturer warranty against breaking and defects, honored through us as an authorized dealer.
Which weight should I pick?
25, 26 or 27 oz at 34". Balanced 13" barrels swing lighter than the number suggests — 26 is right for most; spray hitters who value bat control should try 25.
