I would have to respectfully disagree with Texan on one point. A bat may have one of two types of weight distribution, end loaded and evenly distributed. I have seen kids that could mash with a LS and struggle with an Easton and vice versa. The main difference is how the weight is distributed. Most Easton are end loaded. He does make a good point on the warranty. Haven't had a bat yet make its one year anniversary and I have bought LS, Easton, and Worth products.
