Triton is unique because it has a proprietary 3-X Composite design with three composite zones – barrel, handle and Bubble Transition Zone – all made from 100 percent aerospace 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. With composites, performance and durability are dictated by the angle of the fibers and the wall thickness of the barrel. Louisville Slugger TPS’s highstrength fibers used in the Triton allow for the best angle for performance while keeping the barrel wall thin for maximum flexibility and trampoline effect. 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. This exclusive manufacturing process eliminates air between the graphite layers, giving players the ultimate combination of performance and durability.
TPS STIFFNESS AND STRENGTH = POWER & PERFORMANCE Serious baseball players have learned that stiff handled bats are better than bats with handles that bend. Stiff handles mean power and performance, the very reason the majority of Major League Baseball® players today choose stiff handle maple bats over pliable ash. Louisville Slugger TPS’s stiff handle bats create more barrel flex, resulting in maximum trampoline effect and outstanding performance.

The H2 Hybrid’s exclusive design creates a lighter handle transition which means a longer barrel and bigger sweet spot. The H2 Hybrid builds off the success we had in baseball with Exogrid. It became baseball’s leading bat and the choice of the best hitters. The H2 Hybrid, with its industry leading ST+20 alloy barrel and 3-X composite handle, seamlessly provides the outstanding performance of a 1-piece stiff 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 stiff because 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 the moment 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 handle produces maximum barrel flex for the power all fastpitch hitters seek.” And the barrel’s ST+20 alloy provides outstanding strength and toughness to produce the performance, feel, and sound that top fastpitch players demand.

Utilizing Easton’s patented Visual Composite Technology (VCT), the Synergy Reveal bat features a composite construction which includes a clear composite glass outer diameter that allows both players and officials to see the bat’s design lay-up. This visual technology is made possible by Easton’s Strained Energy Optimization patent. The benefit of VCT is that it allows Easton to design high-performance bats that protect the integrity of the game. When the design of the Synergy Reveal is compromised, the outer diameter of the bat will show delamination markings. Delaminations are breakdowns in the epoxy resin system that hold composite structure together. A delamination greater than 1” in any direction deems a bat illegal for play - as it signifies that the bat’s performance level exceeds association performance standards of 98 MPH. Bats without delaminations are legal for play and will provide great Synergy performance players have known for years.
