Product Description
Step into the box with confidence using the 2026 Easton Empire 12.75" 2-Piece SSUSA Senior Slowpitch Softball Bat—built for senior hitters who want explosive pop with added flex and feel. This Greg Connell Signature Model blends advanced barrel tech with a smooth two-piece connection, giving you the performance to drive the ball with authority while keeping your swing controlled and consistent.
The 2-piece composite construction with Plural Resin System and Soft-Ply Carbon creates quick-flex barrel walls that respond fast at contact, helping generate serious pop across the 12.75” barrel. Paired with a 150 handle flex, this bat delivers a smooth, forgiving feel with added whip through the zone. The CXN MC3+ Connection reduces vibration and enhances energy transfer, giving hitters a cleaner, more comfortable swing.
With optimized loaded player weighting, this bat is designed for hitters who want to bring power to every at-bat. Finished with Easton’s Power Boost Soft Knob for improved comfort and leverage, the Empire 2-piece is built for senior players who want maximum performance with a smooth, powerful feel.
