Amazon.com Product Description Boasting a combination of Carbon Nanotube (CNT) and Integrated Matrix (IMX) technologies, the SCN8 Synergy CNT bat continues to dominate the slow-pitch game. The CNT construction strengthens the bat's composite structures, thus optimizing the design for maximum performance, while the IMX synchronizes the relationship between the materials, design technologies, and manufacturing process. Add in Easton's patented Extended Flex design--which stretches the sweet spot along the entire length of the extra-long 13.5-inch barrel--and you have a bat that easily meets all 2007 performance standards from ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA, SSUSA, and ISF. Other details include Easton's patented Opti-Flex CNT composite handle technology, which provides a maximum handle flex that's two times greater than aluminum; an ultra-thin 29/32-inch handle with a Pro-Tack cushioned grip; an evenly balanced design that maximizes swing speed; and a 2-1/4-inch barrel diameter. The Synergy CNT Flex bat--which is designed exclusively for slow-pitch softball play--is backed by a one-year 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. Today, Jas. D. Easton, Inc. is a privately owned manufacturer, marketer and distributor of sporting equipment, headquartered in Van Nuys, California. It currently employs more than 1,000 people worldwide in various distribution, manufacturing, sales and marketing capacities. Other operations are located in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mexico and Canada. Easton is considered one of the world's preeminent innovators, designers, and manufacturers of sporting equipment. Much of this success is due to Easton's corporate strategy centered around producing products for the highest level of performance. Throughout its history, Easton has not only grown from within, but through the selective acquisition of other technology-based sporting goods companies.
