Pros: The SSR4 has really good pop initially and only gets better with time. It's definitely the bat of choice in our league. I use a 34/28, which seems just right for me 6' 205.
Cons: The bat feels a bit heavier than other 28 ounce bats I've swung, but it's negated by pop and large sweet spot.
A favorite of ASA players every season, the Easton Stealth Speed XL is the quintessential home run tool! The extreme performance of the Stealth Speed XL is made possible through the two-piece fully composite design and the exclusive Easton technology used to make it. The Integrated Matrix Technology, or IMX, used on the Stealth strengthens composite structure while optimizing the design for maximum performance. The unrivaled durability that Easton has become known for is achieved through Carbon Nanotube Technology (CNT) which enhances the proprietary resin system inside the barrel and handle. The two-piece design, ideal for any type of hitter, is held together with Easton's patented CXN, or ConneXion Technology. CXN uses hinge technology for efficient energy transfer, while isolating the handle from the barrel to eliminate vibration altogether. The SPEED name comes from manufacturing this bat with laser precision to eliminate material overlap. This removes excess mass for a lighter swing weight and faster swing speed! The Stealth Speed XL is slightly endloaded with a 13.5" extended barrel design to give players more power, more hitting area, and inevitably more HRs! Easton: Power Redefined! The SCN19 is approved for play in ASA, USSSA, NSA, ISA and ISF. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!

by GREGORY - Apr 04, 2012
Pros: This bat is awesome right out of the wrapper, my top pic for ASA, to hit hard line drives & bombs, less than 200 swings on mine 300' field 40 cor 375 lbs balls, hit around 100 HR's
Cons: None, it does get stress cracks but don't sweat it bc its a very durable bat
by Mattman13 - Jan 31, 2012
Pros: Only got 75 hits or so and was able to hit a few about 375. Big sweet spot and I can tell it needs to be broke in more. Feel is same as ssr2 with slight endload.
Cons: Has weird metalic sound on contact but I'm sure it will change with more hits.
by Anonymous - Jun 22, 2011
Pros: Seems to have a large sweet spot. Took about 100-150 hits to break in but so far it's the best bat I have ever used.
Cons: None
by CrossEyedCricket - Sep 06, 2011
Pros: Takes about 500 swings to break in, but after that, it's hotter than love! The more you swing it, the hotter it gets. Best ASA bat of the year, and very durable.
Cons: none so far
by BigDaddy30 - Nov 08, 2011
Pros: Great feel. I got the 27oz. and it feels heavier than other 27oz. bats I have swung. The sweet spot is so large, even on a ball that is hit poorly the ball screams off of this bat. I can't wait to see it after I get a LOT more swings on it.
Cons: None so far!
by BIGRED33 - Mar 12, 2012
Pros: The new stealth, broken in after about 200 hits, is awesome. I swear this bat added somewhere between 20 and 30 feet onto my distance. I was hitting home runs before but now they're like way gone. I hit one to the infield on a field opposite to us...about 330 ft.
Cons: absolutely nothing at this time.
by Romer (minot, ND) - Apr 19, 2012
Pros: Amazing pop and balance good looking bat excellent grip feel my first easton, and looks like the only brand to buy
Cons:
by uncle willy's son - Aug 23, 2011
Pros: Great bat, nice sweetspot. Bought the 26oz for the wife, plenty of life to this bat. Love it.
Cons: Nothing yet.
by softballjunkie - Jun 29, 2011
Pros: Love the bat I have a couple hundred hits on it and the ball is absolutely screaming off the bat I bought a TPS Z-1000 at the beggining of the season then bought the Easton SSR4 and the TPS cant even compare to the SSR4 so I just gave the TPS away. My suggestion is buying the SSR4 you will NOT be disappointed. Hottest bat this year period!!
Cons: All 3 of my other bats i just leave home now
by BIg Red - Nov 27, 2011
Pros: Just picked this bat up and its amazing...I was home run hitter with cheap $40 bats but the Stealth has had a serious effect on my distance! It just feels right.
Cons: nothing so far...
by Anonymous - May 31, 2011
Pros: Bought it and took it to the cage to get familiar with it, and every ball jumped off the bat. First game first pitch put it right to the warning track. Best Easton bat ive owned so far.
Cons:
by Cubby (ATX) - May 22, 2011
Pros: One of the better manufactured softball bats from Easton. 2 Piece technology has great flex and minimal vibration if you get jammed. Power? SICK! Connect on the sweet spot (which the area of the sweet spot is over a FOOT!) and the ball jumps off the bat. Line drives, homers....bat does it all. Perfectly end loaded. You dont lose ANY bat speed. the last Easton bat i used was the C-Core, and then i gave up on them....SO GLAD I bought this one! EASTON baby, YOUR BACK!
Cons: "Rumors" on 2 piece have less life span and lose pop quickly. Jury is still out here...
by Mo - Oct 10, 2011
Pros: First tried the bat out in a tournament. First swing of the bat I had a double. Next time up I hit a homerun. Second game I hit another homerun. Everyone on my team was amazed at how smooth the bat felt after hitting with it. Now this is the only bat that my teammates will use.

Ask QuestionStealth Speed vs Stealth 98,is the most significant difference the end weighting on the Speed?
Asked by Tom Deschler on May 22, 2012
You are correct, the difference between the Easton Stealth Speed XL and the Stealth Speed 98 is the Easton Stealth Speed XL is end loaded.
· May 22, 2012
Will this bat always be ASA legal after 2012? And does the end-load add weight to the bat?
Asked by TROBE on May 14, 2012
As of today, the Easton Stealth Speed XL will be legal after 2012. The weight of the bat does not change, it's the way the weight is distributed. There will be more weight at the end of the barrel, better for a power hitter.
· May 14, 2012
I am following up on a question I asked on Saturday in regards to the 2013 stamp. I asked why this bat does not have it on it and is it because it will be considered an illegal bat after 2012? If someone would respond I would really appreciate it.
Asked by Jim on May 07, 2012
At the time the Easton Stealth Speed XL was manufactured, USSSA did not require the new stamp. Easton's new line of slow pitch bats do have the required USSSA stamp.

Is this a single wall bat?
Asked by Judge on Apr 25, 2012
The Easton Stealth Speed XL is a double wall slow pitch bat.
· Apr 25, 2012
How well does the warranty cover on this bat and what does it all cover? how long does the warrenty last?
Asked by Alek on Apr 23, 2012
The SSR4 has a 12 month warranty through Easton. It covers any defect to the bat that is a result of normal usage (ie: dents, cracks, broken end-cap, etc.) If you have specific questions about the warranty, feel free to give us or Easton a call.
· Apr 23, 2012
Is this bat comparable to the (2007) Easton Stealth Comp CNT SCN5? If not, which current year Easton bat is?
Asked by Dan on Apr 20, 2012
Yes, this bat is very much like the SCN5.
· Apr 20, 2012
I would like to know, if the Easton Stealth bat would be good to use during the fall & winter seasons?
Asked by Big Yeps on Apr 13, 2012
We recommend not to use the bat in temperatures below 45 degrees.
· Apr 13, 2012
Does it have the USSSA 2012 stamp on it?
Asked by Jake on Apr 11, 2012
The 2012 Easton Stealth Speed XL has the old USSSA stamp on it. This bat does not have the new USSSA stamp that is being required in 2013.
· Apr 11, 2012
I bought a SSR4 and my team used it for the fist time yesterday, Bat is very hot out the wrapper, but I noticed it starting webbing, looks likes cracks. Is that normal? It was a cold night!
Asked by Duke on Oct 18, 2011
The webbing is the composite material breaking in. You should avoid using a composite bat in temperatures below 55 degrees. Also, it is important to break in a composite bat properly before using it in a game. Take 100-200 swings off soft toss and rotate the barrel about a quarter of an inch each swing.
· Oct 18, 2011
i play in a singlewall league and i have heard that all easton stealths are single wall. what is the best single wall bat u would recommend. i have a white steel and it hits great, just want more pop.
Asked by yimmy on Oct 14, 2011
The SSR4 is a single wall and is a great bat. As with all composites, they do require a break in to get the pop you want.
· Oct 14, 2011
i play with f12 clincher gold which is harder than the regular f12 clincher would this bat be good or can you recomend a bat for this type of f12 clincher gold.
Asked by batless batter on Aug 15, 2011
The F12G is still a low compression softball and because of that I would recommend a stiff, one-piece bat. Using a two-piece flex bat with a low compression softball will absorb the energy at the moment of contact and will probably produce a pretty soft hit. A single wall alloy bat will work well with a low compression softball. A one-piece, end-loaded composite bat would also work. Anything from the Easton Rival, Anderson KSP, Anderson Techzilla, Miken DC-41, or the Miken Freak FX700 SuperMax would be good options.

whats the best oz to get i got the blue and sliver easton stealth 34" 27 im looking and thinking about buying this but can u tell me more about please
Asked by bates on Jun 07, 2011
If you're asking what the best weight is for you, that's something that I cannot answer. Bat weight in slow pitch softball strictly comes down to the preference of the player. I know some 6'4" 230 pound guys that like to use a 26 or 27 ounce bat. I also know some guys about 5'9" or 5'10" that prefer a 28 or 30 ounce bat. I've hit with this Stealth as well as last years silver and blue Stealth and I think they're both on the same level in terms of performance and are great bats.
· Jun 07, 2011
I'm looking for a review of this Easton 2012 bat. Has anyone hit it?
Asked by Cookie on May 23, 2011
Yes, a few of us here have hit with the new 2012 Stealth Speed. If you hit with last year's model (SSR2), I don'think you'll notice that big of a difference in performance, although the SSR4 has a slightly more endloaded feel. It's a high performing ASA bat and it felt pretty hot right out of the wrapper, but I'm sure after a hundred or so swings it would feel even better.
