Anything Core? I know yesterday was a big day of announcements on the baseball side for Easton.
They did announce they brought back the big green baseball bat from years ago...hahaha 
Lets put it this way...I have NEVER seen a bat brought out for a few people to use and never sold. I have seen millions of repaints of mainline bats all the time and sold in limited quantities or even one bat painted.
A manufacturer would never make a whole new bat and just release to a team or college. The money alone for this is so huge,
there is no way they would do it. You are paying huge money on R&D and then production...and even more if you are only producing
a few. I just don't see it ever happening. I think these bats will be out.
Now, one piece, I don't think sales will be very big because kids
don't like the feedback a one piece bat gives them...the older players understand what feedback is and don't mind it and some appreciate it.
If and when this comes out...wont be a big seller. I can see it already..."dad...the bat stings my hands when I don't hit it good...I hate it"

Yeah I agree, it will have its market but it won't be for the majority.
I see baseball is getting a new trade in program from Easton, is this soon to follow on the softball side too?

Black Magic. Dug this out of the garage a while back and sold it on eBay.

hahahaha, they are doing the steel color with green writing
I would kinda doubt that with the abuse composite fp bats takes. Plus, if you read...its a max of $100 credit towards a new bat at retail price
So not every baseball bat will get the 100 buck trade in. I would do trades all day long if I sold from retail and only gave someone small
money for their bats
. Although then you have to wait for the trade to get here.

Different bats. Black magic had a huge barrel. Little different weighting.
