2026 Easton Tantrum Black USA — Blackout Power, Zero Sting
The 2026 Easton Tantrum Black USA Slowpitch Softball Bat (ESA6TNTBKL) takes Easton's blackout Tantrum to the USA Softball standard: a 12.75" HDK23 carbon fiber barrel built on Cantilever Technology, the vibration-killing CXN MC+ connection, a Loaded swing weight, and a Flex 140 handle finished with a Power Boost Soft Knob.
Description
Part of our Easton slowpitch lineup, the Tantrum Black USA is the bat for USA/ASA hitters who want end-load power without paying for it in hand sting. Cantilever Technology tunes the barrel for performance against USA-compression softballs, while the CXN MC+ connection joins the two-piece build in a way engineered to wipe out handle vibration — mishits stay quiet, and good contact feels like nothing at all. Loaded Optimized Player Weighting shifts mass toward the end cap for momentum through the zone.
Cantilever Barrel Technology
Cantilever Technology is Easton's USA-specific barrel engineering — built to stay responsive and transfer energy efficiently at the compression standard USA Softball play demands, so the 12.75" hitting surface performs across the whole zone.
CXN MC+ Connection — Best-in-Class Feel
The CXN MC+ connection eliminates vibration in the handle. If you've retired a two-piece because off-center contact stung, this is the piece of the Tantrum Black that will win you back.
Loaded Swing Weight
Optimized Player Weighting in the Loaded profile puts extra mass behind the barrel for carry through contact. Prefer bat speed to end-load? Compare the balanced options in our Easton slowpitch collection.
Flex 140 Handle + Power Boost Soft Knob
The HDK23 carbon fiber Flex 140 handle gives the USA Tantrum Black its own swing feel — slightly softer flex than its USSSA counterpart's Flex 150 — while the Power Boost Soft Knob cushions and anchors the bottom hand.
Available in 25, 26 & 27 oz
All weights come in the 34" length with the USA-legal 2 1/4" barrel diameter. Between weights? Size for bat speed — the Loaded profile already carries plenty of mass.
Who This Bat Is Built For
Best for:
- USA Softball (ASA) league hitters who want a loaded, power-first swing with a vibration-dampened two-piece feel
- Players who want premium HDK23 carbon construction in a murdered-out look

FAQ
Is the Tantrum Black USA legal for my league?
It carries the USA Softball (ASA) certification stamp. If your league plays USSSA, ISA, or NSA rules, grab the Tantrum Black USSSA instead — always confirm against your league's current approved-bat list.
What's the difference between the Black and the other Tantrums?
The Black pairs the blackout colorway with a Flex 140 handle on the USA Cantilever platform — other Tantrum models run different handle flex ratings and barrel technologies, which changes the swing feel more than the paint does.
Is it covered by a warranty?
Yes — a full 1-year Easton manufacturer warranty against breakage and defects, honored through us as an authorized dealer.
