2014 Easton Brett Helmer Slowpitch Softball Bat L4.0 ASA End Loaded SP14L4
The Easton L4.0 is the 2014 Brett Helmer signature model. With an end load built for a King, this bat has the power to go deep and drop bombs.
The difference between the L4.0 and the L6.0 is small, but enough to be appreciated. The barrel of the 4.0 is made of the new SIC Black Carbon and is going to prevent sting and vibration from getting to your hands on most hits. The 6.0 uses the IMX Composite in the handle instead, which is still great, but not quite as great as the SIC Carbon Fiber. The barrel is built using the same proven IMX Composite that has been used in Easton softball bat barrels for several years, giving you a MASSIVE sweet spot and unrivaled performance.
ASA - The Balanced 4.0 is approved for play in ASA and ISF. The new ASA standard is super hot, and is no longer the USSSA little brother of bat standards.
End Load - An end loaded slow pitch bat helps you have more power in your swing when the ball is struck. If you are powerful enough to swing an L series end loaded bat, you should stand to see an advantage over a balanced bat.
One-Piece - Keep it simple. For the guys (and gals) that like a traditional feel when swinging, the single system design gives you the advantage of instant feedback. Many players who swing one-piece bats do not like the feel of whip you get with a two-piece bat (like a golf club).
12 Month Warranty - The One Year Warranty is back. 2014 Easton Slowpitch Bats will have a warranty against defects for 365 days from the date of purchase.
