Easton just announced ADV drops this week

[ECU20012005]

They offer a numbered bat 1-1,000. I mean, if it was a Corvette or something, that might be cool. But the bat will be outgrown or broken within the year. What's the big deal of having a numbered bat?

Everyone knows the bats come out every two years and everyone knew they were coming out the last week of January. How did asking about numbered bats do anything?

We are talking about them. That is all they want to do from a marketing perspective. So what day are sales allowed?

1/24 for Early Access to purchase. I would guess 1/31 for everyone.

Sale date is 2/8 technically

They do that so it allows all the sizes to get to stores

Because you actually would be amazed that there are some that give a sh!t...hahaha. I dont because its a bat you are just gonna
hit. But there are people that think it makes them special and they will pay retail for a numbered bat

You should see slowpitch guys trying to get a certain number of a bat...makes me laugh at the stupidity

Well, not really, simply "talking" about the bat news, won't do anything to convince those of us who have been down this road for 15+ years. However, for the newbies, who have their daughters in a 7U travel showcase team, LOL, they'll buy the hype, and new bats. I know as I have about $1,800.00 of bats in my garage that my daughter's teammates have declared these, bats as, broken or no longer having any pop. CRAZY !
