EASTON SPORTS INTRODUCES SPEED BAT LINE TO SLOW-PITCH SOFTBALLVAN NUYS, Calif. (October 19, 2009) – Easton Sports, the industry leader in bat technology, today announced the launch of three new Q4 offerings for slow-pitch softball players – including the introduction of Easton’s patented Speed technology to the slow-pitch softball market. Easton’s Synergy Speed BH andStealth Speed XL headline the additions and bring the same technology that has flourished on the baseball diamond to the softball field, while the aluminumCV12 rounds out the new offerings.

The Speed line features Easton’s lightest barrel design ever thanks to a new laser precision manufacturing technique that eliminates material overlap in thebarrel, trimming enough excess to reduce mass in the barrel for a lighter MOI (Moment of Inertia) and a faster swing speed.

H2 XXL HYBRID SBXH2D• ST+20 Alloy/3X Composite Hybrid Design• XXL Double Wall Design


• 12” barrel• ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISF, and ISA approved

TPS® FASTPITCH INTRODUCES THE H2 HYBRID THE NEXT STEP IN OPTIMIZING COMPOSITE/ALLOY HYBRID DESIGNLOUISVILLE, KY– Louisville Slugger® created stiff handle, large sweet spot composite/alloy hybrid bats when it introduced the popular Exogrid® to baseball. TheExogrid was named baseball product of the year in 2007 and ended up becoming the game’s most popular bat. Now Louisville Slugger is back at the plate withanother stiff handle, large sweet spot composite/alloy hybrid bat for top level hitters. But this time it’s in fastpitch with the new 2009 TPS H2 Hybrid®.

“The H2 Hybrid’s exclusive design creates a lighter handle transition which means a longer barrel and bigger sweet spot,” said Louisville Slugger productdeveloper James Sass. “The H2 Hybrid builds off the success we had in baseball with Exogrid. It became baseball’s leading bat and the choice of the besthitters.” The H2 Hybrid, with its industry leading ST+20 alloy barrel and 3-X composite handle, seamlessly provides the outstanding performance of a 1-piecestiff handle design. The move to a full 100 percent graphite composite design in the transition area, from handle to barrel, allows for a handle that’s extra stiffbecause graphite is lighter and stronger than aluminum.

A stiff handle produces more barrel flex, resulting in maximum trampoline effect and, ultimately, outstanding performance. “The last thing you want at themoment of contact is for your bat handle to flex,” Sass said. “When the handle flexes, the barrel can’t. That reduces trampoline effect. The H2’s stiff handleproduces maximum barrel flex for the power all fastpitch hitters seek.” And the barrel’s ST+20 double wall alloy provides outstanding strength and toughness toproduce the performance, feel, and sound that top fastpitch players demand.

Suggested retail for the TPS Fastpitch H2 (FP9H2) H2 Hybrid bat is $299.95.

TPS STIFFNESS AND STRENGTH = POWER & PERFORMANCESerious softball players have learned that stiff handled bats are better than bats with handles that bend. Stiff handles mean power and performance, the veryreason the majority of Major League Baseball® players today choose stiff handle maple bats over pliable ash. Louisville Slugger TPS’s stiff handle bats createmore barrel flex, resulting in maximum trampoline effect and outstanding performance. Louisville Slugger TPS was the first bat maker to recognize that stiffnessand strength equals power and performance. It revolutionized fastpitch, slow pitch softball, and baseball with its hi-tech stiff handle technology and strong alloysand composites, first with the popular Catalyst® models.

NEW TRITON™ 3-X COMPOSITE FROM TPS® FASTPITCH BUBBLE TRANSITION CREATES EXTRA STIFFNESS, LARGER SWEET SPOTLOUISVILLE, KY Top level fastpitch players love the new Triton™ bats from Louisville Slugger® TPS®. Initially drawn to the unique 3-piece look and bubbletransition, players who’ve stepped to the plate with a Triton have quickly learned that it has an extra stiff handle and a very large sweet spot. Triton is uniquebecause it has a proprietary 3-X Composite design with three composite zones – barrel, handle, and Bubble Transition Zone – all made from 100 percentaerospace grade graphite. These three composite zones allow the barrel and handle to be designed and built as individual units.

TPS then brings them together with the revolutionary BT Zone (Bubble Transition Zone) that unites the barrel and handle into a more advanced 1-piece bat.“Triton’s BT Zone links the barrel to the handle, optimizing their relationship,” said Louisville Slugger product developer James Sass.

That makes a stiffer and stronger bat for outstanding performance.” With composites, performance and durability are dictated by the angle of the fibers and thewall thickness of the barrel. Louisville Slugger TPS’s high-strength fibers used in the Triton allow for the best angle for performance while keeping the barrel wallthin for maximum flexibility and trampoline effect.

“We use multiple layers of aerospace grade graphite. These high-strength thin fibers allow us to use more layers for durability and still design a light, thin wallbat for performance,” Sass said. “Our exclusive computer-designed pattern precisely positions the angles of graphite layers, giving the Triton an extra-long barrelwith a huge sweet spot and outstanding performance.”

TPS embeds a specially-designed toughened epoxy resin to lock the graphite layers together. That’s what forms Triton’s light, durable thin wall design. Thisexclusive manufacturing process eliminates air between the graphite layers, giving players the ultimate combination of performance and durability.
