had one parent at a showcase tell me that Clemson used the Easton XL. Said they were the only team in the country to have. Said the bat was hot. Person i spoke to at Better Baseball hadnt heard of it. Did find a different website that carried it. But havent seen it in action. Anyone?
At this point, these kids might as well use wood. Check out MadDog bats on Facebook...they have some good stuff and a lot of giveaways. Tell them I sent ya and give them this number 211407421968042

This is due out anytime, Dick's flyer I got this week had an XL2 listed @ $299.99. There's some discussion on it in a few baseball bat forums.
All the research I have done points to the Rawlings 5150 as a very balanced BBCOR bat. Picked one up today for my 15U to swing and see how it compares to his non-BBCOR 5150 -3/-5 and his MPowered wood bats which are very balanced.
I've heard the Easton Power Brigade is supposed to be a comparable bat (copy?) to the 5150. Should be out anytime according to Better Baseball guy today.
I don't believe they're discontinuing the -3 Easton Omen. The 2012 BBCOR model is available for $399. You're probably seeing the BESR version being sold at clearance prices in the 200-250 range. If you buy one of those, you can't use it for high school, so be cautious.
