2026 Easton Thing Loaded USSSA Slowpitch Softball Bat 2 Piece 12" Barrel

2026 Easton Thing Loaded USSSA Slowpitch Softball Bat 2 Piece 12" Barrel ESU6THGL (ESU6THGL) — Easton's Thing – 232 Technology variable-compression barrel meets an ultra-stiff alloy handle in a loaded two-piece build.

Description

The 2026 Easton Thing Loaded is a two-piece USSSA slowpitch bat that pairs a composite barrel with an alloy handle for a fast, hard-finishing swing. The 12" barrel is built on Easton's 232 Technology – a 5-flex barrel design that uses a plural resin system to create variable compression zones across the barrel for a bigger effective sweet spot and explosive pop. The ultra-stiff, lighter alloy handle helps you whip the barrel through the zone faster, while Loaded Optimized Player Weighting shifts extra mass toward the end cap for momentum and carry through contact. Finished in black, offered in 25, 26, and 27 oz, approved for USSSA, ISA, and NSA play, and backed by a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

232 Technology

5-flex barrel design with a plural resin system that creates variable compression zones for explosive pop.

12" Barrel

Compact, responsive barrel that concentrates the sweet spot for hitters who attack the ball.

Ultra-Stiff Alloy Handle

Lighter than composite and dead stiff – gets the barrel through the zone faster with crisp feedback.

Loaded Optimized Player Weighting

End-loaded mass distribution adds momentum and carry through contact.

Two-Piece Construction

Composite barrel over alloy handle for a tuned, hard-hitting feel.

Who This Bat Is Built For

Best for:

  • The hitter who plays in USSSA, ISA, or NSA leagues and wants a loaded barrel with a stiff, quick handle instead of two-piece whip. Choose 25 oz or 26 oz for bat speed, or 27 oz to put maximum loaded mass behind the 12" barrel.
