Easton ADV 360 Baseball Bat
The Easton ADV 360 is a technological pinnacle in the brand’s long history of designing baseball bats. The ADV 360’s design takes advantage of Easton's Launch Composite Technology, a larger barrel contour, and a more responsive (and forgiving) sweet spot. The bat’s overall engineering ensures precision and flexibility across the entire barrel for more consistent performance. With its two-piece iSO ConneXion™ design, the ADV 360 absorbs vibration, delivering an unmatched feel at contact.
Perfect bat for: Hitters looking for an edge in bat speed, comfort, and overall performance.
Key features include:
Launch Composite Technology: Provides a larger barrel contour with a more responsive and forgiving sweet spot for maximum performance.
Two-Piece iSO ConneXion™: Isolates the handle from the barrel, using Nitrocell foam to absorb vibration for a smoother feel upon contact.
Power Boost™ Soft Knob Technology: Increases leverage and power potential, while improving comfort and bat control.
Speed Cap™: Offers a more flexible and responsive barrel with a natural sound on impact.
DFS Carbon Handle: Creates an extra stiff feel at contact, maximizing energy transfer and offering zero vibration.
Against competitors like the Louisville Slugger Meta and the DeMarini CF, the Easton ADV 360 distinguishes itself with its 360 Engineering and Launch Composite Technology, offering a unique combination of barrel flex, balance, and tuned performance. While the Meta is renowned for its EKO Composite Barrel and balanced swing, and the DeMarini CF is celebrated for its Paraflex Plus Composite for flexibility, the ADV 360's comprehensive design focuses on delivering a premium blend of speed, power, and comfort, setting a new benchmark for performance.

What people are saying (edited for clarity and brevity)
PROS
I've always used Easton gear for baseball. Got this bat for my 9-year-old and it's impressive. Good pop and similar to the Easton Ghost, but with more power.
Nearly every player on our son's team uses or borrows this bat. It's popular because it hits home runs well.
I am 12 years old and I hit a home run in my last game with my Rawlings bat. Looking forward to next year!
CONS
I got two bats for my kids, a 29-11 and a 30-10. Both broke even though we used them properly and never misused them. I had to send them back to the manufacturer.
My son loved the bat, it improved his confidence and hitting skills. However, it cracked unexpectedly despite following the instructions. We're disappointed with the quality, and my son was heartbroken.
Although the bat was great while it worked, it's disappointing that it failed after just one year, especially not at the barrel. There seem to be manufacturing and durability issues with this expensive bat.
Certification: USA, USSSA, BBCOR
The Easton ADV 360 is a two-piece composite bat. It has a light swing and big barrel. Perfect for the younger hitter. I think it is popular because of the paint job, which is bright neon yellow. It is more of a look than a performance bat, but still a very good bat that doesn’t have a huge amount of breakage. It's an average bat for either Little League or USSSA.
