Rated 5 out of 5 by from Have one, other guys have swung it and love it! I was at the hit lab last week and tested the new Encore with a couple guys and got a bat to have my teammates try at the college level and they loved the weighting and the feel of the ball off of the bat. It has an Alpha sound and, ADV Hype look, and the ball jumps off of the bat. Would definitely recommend to anyone to try out and see what you think!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great baseball bat! This is a great professional baseball bat, the quality is phenomenal and the overall design of it is simply amazing. It is way better than a classic wooden bat that’s for sure. It hits the baseball better and makes the baseball fly further. It makes a great sounding echo when hitting your baseball, everything about it is great. My son loves this bat he has always been into baseball, he is happy with his new bat. My son is currently training to play baseball and this bat seems great for training because it is lightweight for him, and has a great grip. The bat looks like the most unique bat you would ever purchase. This is not a typical cheap bat, it is one of the best that you’ll ever get your hands on. I definitely recommend this piece it is the best right off the bat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Easton Encore Hybrid BBCOR After taking the Easton Encore Hybrid BBCOR for a ride, it lives up to its name and earns an Encore! The bat is sleek in black with blue highlights, is very evenly loaded, and has a decent sweet spot for success at the plate. The pop is adequate, maybe meant for more of a contact hitter than a power hitter, but would work for either. It’s very quiet on the hands, no vibration to get in the way. All in all a solid offering from Easton that will quite possibly help you earn the “Encore” you’ve been working toward.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Good looking bat with decent performance My son (tall lanky 15u) has been testing this bat hitting hundreds of balls for about 3 weeks at the cages with Hittrax for exit velocity comparison. The bat has a great look and feel Easton finally made great grip with larger diameter and nice taper. Swing weight is in the middle to maybe slightly end loaded. The performance was good but it seems the sweet spot with the best velos was hard to consistently find compared to his regular bat. The bat does feel really stiff as advertised but unfortunately it rings up the hands a bit when you’re outside the sweet spot. His game bat is a single piece aluminum so he’s used to the stiff feel but his bat feels like it has less vibration. I feel the Encore would be a great choice for the bigger stronger players like late HS or college.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing feel! I played in the Easton fall classic in Peoria, Arizona and they had demo bats to swing. I tried out the hybrid model and it felt great. It had a huge barrel and it was very easy to control it. Good balanced feel and I would definitely swing it again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Definitely a great hat if you want feel! This bat feels amazing. It has the right amount of flex and pop while still having that 2 piece which makes it more forgiving. Ball literally flys off the bat and has a satisfying sound. Can’t wait to hit some bombs with it this season !!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Amazing bat Ive been using this bat in multiple games I have great feel with it, it is evenly balanced but with a slight end load towards the middle of the barrel giving it a ton of extra pop. Very similar to the Easton adv which is a personal favorite bat of mine. The quality of the bat is top notch one of the better bbcor bats I have used. I would recommend this bat for anyone looking for a good in-game bat to use. Thank you Easton for sending me this awesome can’t wait to use it more often in games.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Encore hybrid review I swung this bat in the tournament along with the hype comp and ALX this one was by far the most familiar to me I was swinging a Goods until it telescoped on me and I’ve been searching for a new bat since Out of the 3 bats we got to demo in the Easton fall classic the Encore Hybrid definitely felt like home and with the build quality it has I trust I can take rigorous BP and hitting sessions and in game at bats without being afraid of breaking my bat with a bad swing or even a good one

Rated 5 out of 5 by from 2023 Easton Encore (Fire Stick) (Bomb Dropper) Review of Easton Encore 33/30 Grip: Flow-Tack Grip I really like this grip. Extremely durable and artistic design that matches the blueprint of the bat. Thicker bat grip then most, but feels amazing. Taper under the bat grip is a nice size and does not overpower the hitter. Overall the grip and taper go amazing together. Handle: Pro-Stiff Carbon Handle You can definitely feel the stiff handle. This is a solid addition to the bat in my opinion. This feature makes the whole bat stiff, so when you really barrell a ball it feels astonishing. Some people may not like this characteristic because it makes the bat somewhat “unforgiving” when you don’t barrel a ball. If you have enough bat speed it will even out. It is worth the feeling and pop. Knob: Power Boost "Soft Knob" I love this feature. I have dealt with calluses/blood blisters on the palm of my hand for a livetime. This makes swinging unbearable when you have them. The soft knob combats this issue. It is also extremely comfortable to hold and I feel like I can get more bat speed out of it with this feature. Feel: The Easton Encore feels amazing. I swung The Goods 32/29 before this and I recently bumped up to a 33/30. I decided to go with the Encore because of the swing weight. In my opinion it is notably easier to swing than The Goods. I am having no trouble at all getting the barrel to the ball and dropping bombs. The bat is end loaded, but not a bunch. This bat feels amazing when you barrel a ball. If you catch one off the hands you will feel it. This is the only downside of the bat. Looks: The sleek design of the Encore is nothing special but it works. It is visually pleasing. I enjoy the look of the Encore. Sound: The sound of the Encore is beautiful. I would say it is a mix between the Goods and a Cat 9. When you really square a ball up, it turns head because of the noise. Subtle but pleasing. Power: This bat has juice. This bat is for power hitters, and it shows. If you have enough bat speed and can drop the barrel head on the ball, it will fly. I’ve let many people swing it and the contact hitters did not like it as much as the power hitters. If you are a power hitter this is a go to bad. Overall: Overall, this bat is great for hitters who have high bat speed and can get the barrel around on balls. This is my new gamer. Average exit velo off machine was 96.7 (5 swings) and max was 98.9 (5 swings). I really enjoy swinging this bat. The only con I see is you can feel it on your hands if you do not barrel a ball. The ball flies of the bat and feels amazing. If you are debating between this and The Goods I would go with this because it feels amazing and it is juiced. It is also extremely durable (I physically do not think it can break).

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good feel, hard hits, great preformance I’ve had this bat for about 3 weeks now. After many swings and 2 tournaments I can firmly say this is a great bat. Through two tournaments I have gone 6-10 and have consistently hit the ball hard. I have hit a new exit velo PR with this bat and it feels great. It has a slightly emdloaded swing and feels very good in the hands. It’s lighter than other bats and feels great to swing and has a very large barrel. Overall I would highly recommend this bat and it has consistently impressed me.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Son loves it! My 12-year-old loves baseball. This bat is nice and light. He was practicing in the yard and said it has barely any vibration when you make contact with the ball and it has a good grip. He was amazed at how much farther he could hit the ball out with this bat compared to other brands he had used in the past. He thought it had a wider hit zone than the bat he had been using previously. Baseball season is soon to start and he is excited to start hitting balls with this Easton.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Big barrel, good pop, feels light I got this bat from Easton a couple days ago and it has been dynamite since. It has surprising power because of how light the bat is. I felt like I was swinging a drop 4. It has a nice, balanced feel to it which allows my hands to move faster through the zone and I can get the bat around faster for balls that I am late on. The bat has a good sized barrel so i don’t miss as many balls and it has great pop. The ball has a good amount of carry and is perfect for any type of hitter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from HighSchool Varsity Hitter Loves It! Got this for my nephew who is all city junior at his school. He took it out for some indoor batting practice as we're currently out of season and his feedback is that he loves it. He said the bat feels light in the hands, the barrel carries some weight which gave his balls some pop and didn't feel weighted down so he could turn his hips for directional hitting. He's very happy with it and looking forward to improve this junior year.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great bat My husband and I absolutely love this bat. I use it for softball, while he uses it for baseball. We’ve only used it for practice so far since we’ve only had nice days here and there during the winter, but we’re looking forward to using it in spring. It’s extreme lightweight and easy to swing. It’s also really powerful and hits balls far out there. If you need something both powerful and light, this is definitely the bat for you!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Easton Encore Hybrid -3 BBCOR This bat is really good like the way it looks and feels. Surprisingly the bat gets lighter when I was swinging. When hitting baseball at slow speeds I could barely feel the bat hitting the ball, but during higher speeds I could kind of feel it and it vibrates just a little. Also the little rubber end feels so nice and comfortable when hitting. Overall it is a really great bat would definitely recommend. Best bat I've had so far.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Fun bat to swing Received this bat about 2 weeks ago, took it out to test it the same day and from the get go i thought the bat was great. The feel is good all though i do believe for it’s designed it’s a bit heavy, the weight is not a deal breaker. After swinging it in some live At bats i found the bat control is immaculate and really easy to adjust too. Over all i’ve come to love the Encore Hybrid and plan to continue to use it regularly.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really Great Bat All Around Having experience with both aluminum and composite bats, this hybrid rates at the top. The weight feel well balanced, there is great pop, and with skill high exit velocity. I would recommend this bat to anybody, a power hitter or a contact hitter can do equal work with this bat. Over all an amazing bat that will be at the top in all categories.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Crazy Swing Speed! Revived this bat and fraught out of the box the design looks sweet! When I got into the cage I immediately noticed the swing weight felt really good and I was able to controll it really well. The sweet spot on it is a pretty decent size and not a lot of feedback on the hands. If your looking for a bat to hit tanks with I really recommend it.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This bat has monster pop of the bat! Great bat, with lots of pop of the end. The front loaded weight creates a smooth swing, with a large sweet spot and lots of velocity of the bat. The feel is solid from top to bottom. From the perfectly tacky grip to the soft knob on the end, insures a solid feel with no vibration. The best part is the sound, like a lightning "crack".

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Excellent I received this product and exchange for my honest review. This bat is being used by my 14-year-old son. It exceeds his expectations with the amount of pop it brings. He is able to hit the ball further with more power every swing. It is quite top heavy but for those who can handle this weight it will deliver. Highly recommend.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Good Balanced Feel I haven't used this bat for very long, but here are my initial impressions from using it in a game as well as practice (hitting off a tee, etc...) This is a well-balanced bat. It feels a little bit heavier to hold while at the same time feeling a little bit lighter to swing. This is probably due to the hybrid nature of the bat where the bottom and the top parts of the bat are fused together and therefore not one piece. The handle section seems more solid than other Easton bats I have used. It also seems to have a good center of rotation. The balls feel like they have more power coming off the bat when you hit them. The grip is more tacky and better feeling than two other Easton bats I have used. I like the color pattern and look of the bat. The bat has a different ping when you hit it solidly versus when you don’t. It sounds different than other Easton bats I have used, and it helps me to know when I have made good contact. I recommend this bat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great bat, Lots of Pop! Easton sent me the 2023 Encore Hybrid last week and I’m so glad they did! Just recently I hit 90mph exit velocity on my pitching machine bf was able to get up to 92 mph at an A&M showcase I had last weekend. The 2023 Encore Hybrid is overall a really great bat, the only con was the rattle you got at the end of the barrel.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Trustworthy, solid bat. The bat has a typical, solid, Easton feel. The soft knob is a good touch that helps keep your hands loose and the stiff handle leads to solid, great feeling contact. The barrel of the bat had AMAZING POP. I was very impressed by this bat. It took me back to the old Easton Mako days. Not to mention, this bat looks sick!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect feel I received this bat a little over a week ago. The first thing I noticed was the amazing feel to the bat. It is just heavy enough in the end to feel the barrel while still having a very swift swing weight. It seems I have already broken it in and seeing the ball shoot off the bat. Would definitely recommend this bat.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Great feel love the rubber knob Was finally able to use my bat today during practice. Bat felt good with contact, even when I hit off the end, little sting. Very surprised with how it felt when I didnt hit exactly on the barrel. Bat felt solid after 25 swings during BP. Love the feel of this bat so far. Cant wait tio use it in a game come October.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Big Barrel for BBCOR The Encore Hybrid is one of the best BBCOR bats out. Huge sweet spot. I had buy highest exit velocity recorded with this bat. This bat definately is a more end loaded bat which will be super great for super strong dudes. Can't believe how good the grip is on this bat. This bat seems to get better with every swing.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from WOW - Legit Bat Got the new 2023 Easton Encore Hybrid Bat and was not disappointed. Even though the weight and length are the same for all bats I have, this one feels lighter and more smooth when hitting and swinging. The knob is easy to grip, less stress on the hands and vibration when ball hit is less taxing. Sleek design.
