2026 Easton Empire Loaded SSUSA Slowpitch Softball Bat 1 Piece 12.75" Barrel

2026 Easton Empire Loaded SSUSA Slowpitch Softball Bat 1 Piece 12.75" Barrel ESS6EMPC1L (ESS6EMPC1L) — A triple-wall barrel and a high-flex 150 handle in a pure one-piece composite – Greg Connell’s signature senior-league hammer.

Description

The 2026 Easton Empire is Greg Connell’s signature SSUSA slowpitch bat, built for senior league hitters who want maximum pop in a connected one-piece feel. The Triple Wall Barrel Design stacks three composite walls to deliver explosive trampoline and a huge, durable sweet spot, while the true one-piece composite build keeps energy transfer direct from hands to barrel with no connection point dampening your feedback. The 150 handle flex is tuned high to load and unload through the swing, whipping energy into the ball, and the Power Boost Soft Knob takes the sting out of the bottom hand on every cut. An optimized loaded swing weight adds momentum behind the 12.75" barrel for committed, powerful swings, all finished in a clean black and green colorway. Ready out of the wrapper (peaks after 100–200 swings) and available in 25.5oz, 26oz, 27oz, and 28oz. Approved for SENIOR and ISA slowpitch play.

Who This Bat Is Built For

Best for:

• The Empire one-piece is for the SSUSA senior and ISA hitter who trusts the pure, connected feel of a one-piece composite and wants the explosive pop of a triple-wall barrel with a genuine loaded swing weight. The high-flex 150 handle rewards hitters who load up and let the bat whip through the zone, while the 12.75" barrel keeps the sweet spot wide enough to stay dangerous all day. Choose 25.5oz or 26oz to prioritize bat speed and contact, 27oz for the balanced workhorse feel most power hitters land on, or 28oz for maximum momentum and deep drives.
