It’s So Good It’s Unfair
I used this bat for a lot of tournaments, and let me tell you, it is single handedly the hottest bat I have ever swung in my life. It feels incredible even on mishits, and when you barrel it, it just goes forever. The only downside is that it is kinda fragile, so it’s best as a gamer only bat. Bu…
Hype is real
Great purchase on a slightly used Easton hype fire frost- kid loves it!!!
The hype fire provides a ton of pop.
The hype fire is a great choice for a player who likes a more end loaded feel. The bat is pretty good straight out of the wrapper, but gets better as it’s used.
Lots of pop and balanced swing
This bat has great pop and durability. I think the Dub has slightly more pop however this swing seems to be easier for a smaller kid
This bat hasn’t disappointed!
Bat was perfectly as described, perfectly broken in and not disappointed at all!

| 👍 Pros |
|---|
| Hot right out of the wrapper! Colors are bold and the sound is really pleasing. |
| My son loves the huge sweet spot. It's lighter than expected and is the perfect bat for USSSA. |
| I love seeing my son's confidence grow with this bat. He's more trusting with this in his hands. |
| 👎 Cons |
|---|
| My son used this bat for a couple months before small cracks in the bat started to form. |
| This bat is brittle and we've never even used it against a machine. I'm surprised at how quickly it broke. |
| I wish they were made stronger. It has great pop, but the durability is lacking. |
The Hype Fire is a balanced, two piece composite bat with a very fast swing rate. The first ones that came out had some breakage issues but they are now on the second gen. We've not seen any of the new ones breaking. And to top it all off, it has the coolest paint job. The players love the flames. Certain leauges are starting to ban this bat, check that before you buy.
