The Coach's Review of the
Easton SCN8B SYNERGY CNT Fastpitch Softball Bat

Stealth vs. Synergy? First, let's deal with the major difference between the Easton Stealth Comp CNT (SCN6B and SCN7B) and the Easton Synergy CNT (SCN8B) is that the Easton SCN8B Synergy CNT is a one piece design whereas the Stealth uses Easton's patented 2-piece ConneXion which acts like a hinge. The Stealth has a bit more flex but is more subject to breaking.

Now, the Easton SCN8B Synergy CNT is also one of the most popular bats in use today. The Easton SCN8B Synergy CNT is a one-piece bat that uses Easton's exclusive Carbon Nanotube Technology (CNT) and Patented IMX – Integrated MatriX technology that strengthens composite structures, optimizing designs and materials for maximum performance. This results in a very strong Fastpitch Softball Bat.

The Easton SCN8B Synergy CNT has been designed with a balanced swing weight and an extended barrel options for a longer sweet spot. Easton`s patented Extended Flex design lengthens the sweet spot (in the bats with the longer barrels) by increasing the barrel flex towards the contour and end of the bat to provide maximum performance along the entire length of the barrel. They combine to give the player a "soft feel" on contact.

Some things to consider - because of the stiffer CNT material, some players believe the Easton SCN8B Synergy CNT needs a break-in period of about 200 hits before the performance of the bat is maximized.

The Easton SCN8B Synergy CNT Features:

• One-piece Construction
• Carbon Nanotube Technology (CNT)
• Single Wall Bat Design
• Patented Extended Flex™ Design
• Patented IMX™ - Integrated MatriX Technology
• Evenly Balanced for Maximum Swing Speed
• Ultra-Thin 29/32 inch Handle
• Cushioned Grip
• -10 oz. Drop (length-to-weight ratio)

1. Easton does not recommend that you use your bat in a batting cage as the rubber balls used in most commercial batting cages are harder and denser than a regular ball and add an increased amount of stress to your bat upon impact. If you do practice in a batting cage, use the bats provided by the cage. Save your bat for use in games and practices where leather covered balls are used. Note: Using your Easton bat in a batting cage will void your warranty.
   
   
2. Easton suggests using your bat in temperatures above 60 degrees. Colder weather makes balls harder which may cause damage to your bat.
