With the 2023 Easton Hype Comp -5 USSSA bat, we've meticulously engineered every feature to deliver explosive performance at the plate. From the knob to the end-cap, this bat was built to give you the highest-performing composite bat you'll find anywhere. The Hype Comp is built with end-to-end Thermo Composite Technology, which creates a massive sweet spot with the lightest material possible, maximizing both your bat speed and explosiveness on contact. Also, the ConnXion Max 2-piece design maximizes energy transfer from the handle to barrel, meaning that every ounce of power in your swing gets transferred into the barrel. Combine that with the Power Boost Soft Knob technology and Pro-Stiff carbon handle, and you're looking at a bat that unlocks pop you didn't even know you had. You won't just see the results of this engineering — you'll see it, too. The combination of the Thermo Composite Technology and rolled end-cap delivers a forceful "pop" that will become your trademark at the plate.
