Easton is taking their new 2011 bat graphic concepts straight to ball players, coaches, and dealers all over the country for feedback and review, and this forward thinking approach to design looks like it’s paying off.  Last week I had the privilege of being in on one of these previews, and let me tell you, you will not be disappointed by Easton’s 2011 bats.

Having been at the top of the market for years, it’s impossible to go to a ball game without seeing an Easton bat.  Models like the Stealth have a reputation for outstanding performance, but even though the performance rocks, their graphics seem to appealed more to older folks and parents than to players.  This was clear in the preview as well.  Older people in the room loved the previous year model graphics, but the younger people liked the new designs much better.

I can’t give any details about the new designs, but maybe we’ll be able to get you a sneak peek before the bats come out next year.  What I can tell you, though, is Easton is listening to the players, and has taken their new graphics in the right direction.  Keep an eye out for Easton’s new 2011 bats.  You’ll like what you see.

What types of designs would you like to see on Easton’s new 2011 bats?  Leave a comment and let us know what you think!

    I would like to see the white bats again in a composite especially. Something kind of like what they had a few years ago but with a little different twist. I liked the look of those alot.

    Agreed. Those were good looking bats. Thanks for the feedback. I think I’ll pass this on to our Easton rep. Maybe we’ll see those white bats yet!

    i think that the bats should be purple with just one wall! i used to have a tball bat that was like tht and i could hit tennis balls like 50 feet with that thing!!!

    Overall satisfied with Easton Bats. A dark gray would be a hot color, or a bright yellow. Brighter than the SV12. Sparkly Burgandy.

    I think you need to target the kids likes first. They have to love the bat first to feel that comfortable feeling all hitters want. I play professional softball and when i have my miken bat in my hand i feel like a light saber is in it. I think the color scheme is crucial and the name of the bat model has to draw attention which is something miken does very well. 1. color scheme 2. sick graphics 3. that name of the model that just stands out or makes the defense quiver. I recently purchased the new coach pitch bat for my 6yr old and that bad is sick love it we go back and forth from that bat and the prodigy. i am telling you focus on 1-3.

    I’d like to see shinier bats, and personalizable like Nikeid.com does with its shoes, Like be able to pick the background color and the color of Easton names. Thanks!

    id like to see at least one black stealth comp. I swing the blue stealth imx in a drop 3 and would love to have another one. also blue and gold maybe, id buy that hands down..

    Easton needs to make their bats like demarini because everybody know any demarini bat is better than any easton bat.

    i think easton should a bat with a white barrell and also a white optiflex part that would look awesome. i think they shoould also make a double wall aluminum bat like the f3 in little league but one that you can use in highschool.

    Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I got to see the finalized versions of the 2011 Easton bats on Friday. Sad to say, I’ve been sworn to secrecy until they official go on sale, but it won’t be long! Easton’s official release date is March 15th, 2010.
