2010 Easton Stealth Speed XL SSR2. I have a buddy with one for sale. It is 28oz with about 100-150 hits on it. Small amount of scratches and a few ball marks. Really good condition. He is looking for about $200. Email me at barrycullen@nl.rogers.com
Review
Easton has done a great job on their 2010 ASA bats. They break in much quicker and have excellent pop and distance. Some minor durability issues seem to be the tradeoff though. These and all of the 2010 Easton ASA bats can develop small lines that appear to be cracks in the paint. They don't seem to be immediately related to the bat's structural integrity though and will still perform at the same level even with the small paint cracks. This does not necessarily happen to all bats. The Stealth has always been one of Easton's top performing bats. Medium amount of handle flex, which like the DeMarini Juggernauts can take some getting used to. "XL" refers to extra large sweet spot, which is 13.5" (most bats are 11"-12").
Description
The Stealth Speed XL SSR2 has a 13.5 inch barrel, giving a great sweetspot and hitting surface. This bat is made of composite fibers that have very high strength and stiffness in the direction of the fibers but much lower strength and stiffness across the fibers. Easton has been able to customize the bat barrel flex using exclusive patented design technologies. The two piece design helps give the barrel of the bat a bit of a whip lash action, this in turn generates more bat speed at the head of the bat.
