Easton BSV5 Surge Stiff O Zone-3 Baseball Bat

The bat's barrel is made of V12 scandium alloy, which optimizes the levels of 12 key elements to maximize the aluminum alloy formation. The construction makes the Surge the most durable aluminum bat on the market, reaching strength and toughness levels never before realized in alloy bats. The stiff-flex 31/32-inch handle, meanwhile, is made of Easton's Integrated Matrix Technology (IMX) composite, which produces an extraordinary feel while further reducing vibration. Other features include a 2-5/8-inch-diameter barrel, a -3 length-to-weight ratio, and BESR certification. The bat carries a 400-day warranty.

About Easton
In 1922, Doug Easton began crafting custom wood bows and cedar arrows in Watsonville, California. Although Doug produced tournament-grade, footed cedar arrows for the archery champions of that era, he was constantly frustrated with the inconsistency and lack of uniformity of wood shafts. Convinced that consistently straight uniform arrow shafts were impossible to manufacture from wood, Doug turned his attentions to aluminum. In 1939, he began manufacturing aluminum arrows in Los Angeles. His instincts about this material were correct, and in 1941, California archer Larry Hughes won the national championship with a set of Doug's aluminum arrows. This was the beginning of a trend that would change traditional archery and transcend into numerous other sports arenas over the next 50 years.
