The Stealth Speed II exploded around Little League ballparks after debuting in the 2009 Little League World Series as the bat of choice for many players and teams throughout the tournament. The 2010 Speed II takes the bat to the next level, with a sleek new look and an even more dynamic performance. Little Leaguer's love the Speed II's extra-long barrel length, which helps them consistently drive the baseball to all sides of the field. In addition, the bat's -12 length-to-weight ratio makes the Speed II super lightweight, helping players swing faster and follow through better time and again. What's more, Easton's two-piece ConneXion technology greatly reduces the vibration that typically occurs in the handle upon impact, while also creating a whip effect with the barrel of the bat when swung. This allows for maximum energy transfer as it connects with a pitch.
The Speed II employs a few other Easton technologies as well. Easton's Integrated Matrix Technology (IMX), for example, combines with Carbon Nanotube Technology (CNT) to strengthen the bat's composite barrel and improve the bat's feel in the hands. Easton also uses a laser precision manufacturing system to minimize material overlap, removing excess mass from the barrel. This speeds up your swing so you can hit with greater power and confidence. Other details include a 2-1/4-inch diameter extra-long barrel, a 29/32-inch tapered handle with a regular handle flex, and a 400-day manufacturer's warranty.
About Easton
In 1922, Doug Easton began crafting custom wood bows and cedar arrows in Watsonville, California. Although Doug produced tournament-grade, footed cedar arrows for the archery champions of that era, he was constantly frustrated with the inconsistency and lack of uniformity of wood shafts. Convinced that consistently straight uniform arrow shafts were impossible to manufacture from wood, Doug turned his attentions to aluminum. In 1939, he began manufacturing aluminum arrows in Los Angeles. His instincts about this material were correct, and in 1941, California archer Larry Hughes won the national championship with a set of Doug's aluminum arrows. This was the beginning of a trend that would change traditional archery and transcend into numerous other sports arenas over the next 50 years.
