Dozens of Easton Stealths Confiscated at Nationals

I know its purple and its pretty, but I watched dozens get confiscated over the course of NATS.. the bats break loose and when shook from the handle, you can feel the barrel shaking. There is no doubt the barrel shakes as if coming broke free from the handle. One game can do it.. a bat that passed one game would fail the next game. I saw a few of the black and the grey stealths, but the main bat confiscated for the tourney (ret'd to owners when done with tourney) was easton stealth and it was many. Many pissed off mommy's and daddy's.. but save your ire for Easton and IMO, aim your wallet in a different direction. Easton owes IMO. ASA should ban this bat just to save you from wasting your money on garbage.

Have one? Want to test it?

Hold it in front of you like a sword, then shake it while holding the handle firm. If you can feel the barrel shake independent of the handle.. Well that would not have passed... and your $300 would have been in the toilet.

During a tournament last month DD had two teammate's Easton bats break in two during games (literally in two separate pieces).

Not surprisingly, as we are shopping for gear for the coming season, nothing from Easton is on her list.

Can't help but wonder if their hockey sticks are doing any better!
