Amazon.com Product Description
Easton's 2009 BCN18 Stealth IMX "Clutch" Senior League Baseball Bat (-9) is the perfect solution for players looking for a bat with the offensive combination of a big hitting area/sweet spot, maximum energy transfer, and ultimate vibration reduction. The "Clutch" does this by merging two cutting-edge technologies: the strength of IMX Composite and the flexibility of CXN Technology. The result is a bat engineered with the specific needs of the player in mind.

Strength plus flexibility equals power.

Integrated Matrix Technology
Integrated Matrix Technology (IMX Composite) strengthens composite structures, optimizing designs, and materials for maximum performance. This patented technology is exclusive to Easton and allows for a highly advanced bat design. Premium quality aerospace grade composite fibers are angled and layered to maximize the hitting area of the barrel and provide extraordinary feel.

ConneXion Design Technology
Easton's patented ConneXion Design System (CXN) offers localized flex to optimize the relationship between multiple flex rated handles and a high performance barrel using "hinge" technology for efficient energy transfer. CXN technology also isolates the handle from the barrel, eliminating vibration and expanding the hitting surface of the barrel.

• IMX Composite Handle and Barrel
• Handle Flex Rating -60
• VRS Rating -95
• 2-3/4" monster barrel
• -9 ultra lightweight length-to-weight

One-year limited warranty which covers all manufacturing defects from normal field usage.

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.
