Used Easton PATRIOTS SP BAT BB/SB Slowpitch Bat 34"

The Easton USA Patriots Slowpitch Softball Bat (34” -8.5) is a two-piece composite slowpitch bat built for USA/ASA players who want a large sweet spot, smooth barrel flex, and strong game-ready performance without an overly heavy swing feel.

The Patriots series became popular in USA/ASA slowpitch circles because it offered a combination of easy barrel performance, comfortable feel, and solid durability. Depending on the specific version, most Patriots bats featured Easton’s composite barrel technology with a forgiving sweet spot that opened up well after a break-in period.

At 34 inches with a -8.5 style playing weight, the bat is geared toward adult slowpitch players looking for a balance of bat speed and barrel mass. It tends to swing smoother than heavily end-loaded power bats while still providing enough weight behind the ball for strong exit velocity.

Community feedback on the Patriots has generally been positive, especially considering its value compared to premium slowpitch models. Several players noted that the bat felt good after relatively few swings and produced a distinctive sound at contact. One player described it as “hot out of the wrapper,” while another said it compared favorably to more expensive alternatives, even if it wasn't quite at the level of top-tier Monsta or Miken bats. 

The Patriots is best suited for:

• USA/ASA slowpitch leagues
• Players wanting a forgiving composite barrel
• Hitters who prefer balanced or moderate-load swing weights
• Recreational to competitive slowpitch players

Overall, the Easton USA Patriots is considered a solid all-around slowpitch bat with good pop, a large sweet spot, and a comfortable swing feel, making it a popular choice among USA/ASA players.
