2026 Easton Empire Loaded SSUSA Slowpitch Softball Bat 2 Piece 12.75" Barrel ESS6EMPGCL

2026 Easton Empire Loaded SSUSA Slowpitch Softball Bat – ESS6EMPGCL

A two-piece composite with a high-flex 150 handle and CXN MC3+ connection – Greg Connell’s signature senior bat tuned for smooth power.

The 2026 Easton Empire two-piece is Greg Connell’s signature SSUSA slowpitch bat for hitters who want explosive pop with a smooth, vibration-free feel. Its two-piece composite build uses a Plural Resin System and Soft-Ply Carbon Quick Flex Walls to deliver a responsive, hot barrel that flexes and rebounds at contact for big exit velocity. The CXN MC3+ Connection joins barrel and handle to absorb vibration and eliminate sting on mishits, while the 150 handle flex loads high through the swing to whip energy into the ball. A Power Boost Soft Knob keeps the bottom hand comfortable, and an optimized loaded swing weight stacks momentum behind the 12.75" barrel for powerful, committed cuts. Finished in a bold teal and red 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.
