Boom
Tube In every industry, there comes a point where the technology has simply gone as far as it's going to go. There are limits in the universe: the car will eventually only go so fast, the computer will only get so small and the bat will only hit the ball so far. Now if only someone would explain that to the engineers over at Easton, who have yet again defied the laws of nature by using nanotechnology to produce an even more powerful bat. Introducing the Synergy CNT Plus, the world's strongest slowpitch bat. The big idea: CNT (Carbon Nanotube Technology), a product sixteen times stronger than steel, is added to the resin thereby making the carbon fiber bond that much more powerful. The result according to Easton is an improved handle design with optimized flex, responsiveness, and more "kick" through the hitting zone for maximum performance within the legal limits of the game. That's all good information, but nothing can prepare you for the way that it hits. We tested a 26 oz, 34-inch model and were amazed by the results. Even off center hits felt good and reacted powerfully. The balance was particularly impressive; the bat practically swung itself and connected with a smooth and solid ping. The Synergy CNT Plus really shines in terms of control and power. If you're already happy with the way that you hit the ball, then the Synergy CNT Plus will make you a surgeon. If, however, you feel that your offense needs some work, then it's one of the most forgiving bats on the market. And it doesn't hurt that it's quite easy on the eyes. Even if you weren't counting the resin additive, the Synergy CNT Plus still utilizes more technology than the Death Star. Sporting a new 13.5" extended barrel for a larger sweet spot, patent-pending Extended Flex, IMX technology, a slightly loaded end for more power and an ultra-thin 29/32" handle with pro-track cushioned grip, you might want to think about parking further away on game day. Bear in mind that the Synergy CNT Plus is not approved for ASA play. It is, however fine for USSSA, NSA, ISA, SSUSA, & ISF. Bottom line is if you are looking for a bat that
will take your game to the next level, then Easton's Synergy CNT Plus
is the one for you. Ranging in 26, 27, 28 and 30 oz weights, for about
two hundred dollars and change you can pick one up wherever softball
equipment is sold or from one of the dealers listed at www.EastonSports.com.
