The Alpha ALX BBCOR Baseball Bat is a one-piece alloy bat constructed from Easton's powerful R5 Alloy. This explosive material is designed to be lightweight in its feel, plus highly responsive and durable. The Alpha ALX will carry a balanced swing weight, but both contact and power hitters should be able to handle this bat well. On the inside of the barrel wall, Easton will also employ their Flywall Barrel Design that won't make use of any rings to govern the performance. Instead, they will vary the thickness of the barrel walls and by doing so, they will get the bat to perform within the required limits of the BBCOR standards & also allow for great performance along a very large portion of the bat's barrel surface.
