The BGS2 Surge adult baseball bat from Easton features a strong and durable THT100 aluminum barrel fused to a 31/32-inch, tapered Integrated Matrix (IMX) composite stiff flex handle for power through the hitting zone. The bat's improved two-piece ConneXion "hinge" technology reduces sting for an improved feel at impact, while maximizing energy transfer. Altogether, the BGS2 Surge offers a low moment of inertia for a lighter swing weight and faster swing speed with enhanced toughness in its alloy barrel. The BGS2 BBCOR certified bat has a -3 length-to-weight ratio and a 2 5/8-inch diameter barrel.

ConneXion 2-piece technology fuses the THT100 aluminum barrel to the Integrated Matrix handle for improved feel and power transfer.Key Features:

BBCOR Certification: BBCOR stands for Bat-Ball-Coefficient of Restitution. This rule is intended to make non-wood bats more wood-like in their performance.
Brace Barrel Design: The patent-pending Brace Barrel Design locates braces at critical points in the barrel to achieve BBCOR compliance while minimizing swing weight.
Carbon Nanotube Technology: Made possible by Zyvex Nanosolve, this technology increased durability in Easton's proprietary resin system in their composite bat and handle designs.
Patented ConneXion (CXN) Design System: This 2-piece CXN technology uses "hinge" technology for efficient energy transfer. CXN technology also isolates the handle from the barrel, eliminating vibration and expanding the hitting surface of the barrel.
Patented Integrated Matrix Technology (IMX): This technology is designed to strengthen the bat's composite structure by optimizing the design, process, and materials for maximum performance. Aerospace grade fibers are layered and angled within the bat to maximize the hitting area, provide an extraordinary feel, and to eliminate vibration.
THT100 Alloy: Exclusive alloy with 100ksi strength with extraordinary toughness for superior dent and crack resistance.

The Easton® BGS2 Surge adult baseball bat boasts a new THT100 Aluminum™ barrel for greater durability and strength and a 31/32" IMX™ composite tapered handle with stiff handle flex for maximum power through the hitting zone. An improved two-piece ConneXion™ optimizes the feel at impact, while maximizing energy transfer.

Customer Reviews

Superb bat, players ; coaches rave about the construction, feel and balance of this bat. The performance is a noticeable step up from the Easton Rival, an excellent bat in its own right. This is a BBCOR certified bat so you can use it after January 1st 2012. Be aware the older BESR certified bats are still on the market, still fine to use this last year (2011), and you may find them quite a bit cheaper than the BBCOR bats to clear inventory. Look for the certification on the bat as you may find two seemingly identical Easton Surge bats with a $100 price difference. The cheaper BESR bat is excellent, some would say even better, but you won't be able to use it in NCAA or NFHS sanctioned play after the deadline noted earlier.

Ordered from Eastbay on 11/30 via Amazon. When I placed the order the estimate delivery date was 12/8.
On 12/2 I received a message that it is backordered and may not be delivered until early January. As I write this message the website still says that the exact same product is "In Stock".
On 12/6 I contacted Eastbay, they were very personable and said it should arrive around 12/20.
On 12/23 I received an email stating that is is backordered until 12/30.
As of 12/23 Amazon states it is an In Stock item.
