Easton LST9 Stealth CNT (-13) Youth Baseball Bat

Whether it's the sweet-spot-enhancing performance of Easton's patented multi-wall, all-composite Stealth Comp CNT or the strength and toughness of the world's highest-performing Sc900 scandium alloy, Easton's line of Stealth bats dominates at every level of play. This LST9 Stealth CNT youth model boasts a combination of CNT Carbon Nanotube technology for optimized performance and Easton's aforementioned Sc900 alloy, which is the strongest and most durable alloy on the market. Add in Easton's ConneXion technology--which acts like a hinge to provide an efficient energy transfer from handle to barrel--and you have a bat with a muscular barrel and a quick whip-like action through the hitting zone, helping generate more power than ever.

Other details include a unique Opti-Flex composite handle with a maximum handle flex that's three times greater than most aluminum bats; an extended 2-1/4-inch diameter barrel that stretches the sweet spot; a super-lightweight -13 length-to-weight ratio; and an ultra-thin 29/32-inch tapered handle with a Pro-Tack cushioned grip. The Stealth CNT--which is designed exclusively for youth league play--is backed by a 400-day 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.
