2016 Easton BBCOR Baseball Bat Review

This year, if you include the Speed Brigade Bats, Easton has delivered 13 all-new BBCOR Baseball Bats for 2016! That has got to be some kind of a record. We’re going to go bat-by-bat and let you know what each bat is made of and what type of hitter they cater to.

SWI-EASTON-FOR-BLOG

 

The Mako Line-Up . . .

Mako BBCOR

2016 Easton Mako BBCOR Baseball Bat -3oz BB16MK

Design: 2-Piece, 100% Thermo Composite Technology

Swing Weight: Balanced for Contact Hitters

Rating: 10/10 – This Mako gives you everything a Mako stands for: great balance, fast swing speed, super durable, great pop, and you hardly feel any vibration/sting even on miss-hits. A true champion of a bat.

 

Mako XL BBCOR

2016 Easton Mako XL BBCOR Baseball Bat -3oz BB16MKL

Design: 2-Piece, 100% Thermo Composite Technology

Swing Weight: End-Loaded for Power Hitters

Rating: 10/10 – Made exactly the same as the Balanced Mako, but with an end-load added to the barrel for added power behind your swing. So, if you love the Mako but are more of a power hitter, than this Mako XL is perfect for you.

 

Mako Torq BBCOR

2016 Easton Mako Torq BBCOR Baseball Bat -3oz BB16MKT

Design: 2-Piece, 100% Thermo Composite Technology

Swing Weight: Balanced for Contact Hitters

Rating: 10/10 – Returning for a 2nd year is the balanced Mako Torq. This bat is basically the balanced Mako with the rotating Torq handle added, along with a different paint job. Super balanced with great pop.

 

Mako Torq XL BBCOR

2016 Easton Mako Torq XL BBCOR Baseball Bat -3oz BB16MKTL
