Easton Brett Helmer 2016

[JPG]

Here we go,

Current hits
800

How I got the bat?
Luck and no they are not out yet.

Out the wrapper talk:
I hit the bat with Zn's and ASA crap balls from findings. It webbed up all around immediately.
Bat felt stiff but great pop out the wrapper. I actually enjoyed it from the first hit.
At night I hit it in 60 degrees and it opened up and changed at around 300 hits.
it hits all balls well and at the 450 hit mark this thing rips. The exit speed is great.
Bat is a 27.5 and re-taped with a grip n rip it weighs 28.2

Details:
I think they tweaked the vibration ZERO side of it for the better.

Extras:
The bats paint and feel reminds me of the z1000 without that tin can sound and more of a easton crack at another level.
Easton changed big time.

This post will serve as talk / chatter / review on the new Brett Helmer 2016.

After 80 hits this is what she looks like:

Looks pretty sick!!

 

[Babynate]

Nice looking bat, let us know how it feels and swings bro. Might want one.

 

[ogsoftballplaye]

Sweet looking bat for sure. Probably be getting one when my SIS Easton gets gamer status. That way I can sell my gamer L1 and Freak 12 and get one. Pretty sure I'll be going with a 26.5oz though. Shoulder can't handle the bigger sticks anymore. Old age killing me.

 

[Jatnole]

Is this an exclusive?

 

[Cliff]

Is this an exclusive?

no, it is part of the normal line for next year.

Holly ****zzz............over 1.oz endload. Woo that's heavy

 

[22deucedeuce]

Need quick updates and video bro. No wonder you're selling the torq.

 

[Rega17]

Told ya it swings light. Heck I'm gaming a 26oz 4tf and don't have problems swinging our 27.5 helmer.

Does it swing more balanced or what?

It feels like a gradual end load. It does not feel like the end cap is super heavy. I am glad I got the 27oz because a 26oz would have felt weird I think.
Def does not feel like 2.5oz end load at all.

80hits and it looks like this:

 

[BraveSox]

Is that graphic design or webbing in the "Easton" letters?

 

[touch415]

Looks like webbing, pretty sure all new line Easton are going web up super fast.

 

[Rega17]

Does it swing more balanced or what?

JPG hit it on the head. It's not all cap load. It seems to get progressively heavier down the barrel. Makes it swing very smooth instead of sledgehammer lIke.

Is that graphic design or webbing in the "Easton" letters?

It's webbing. Seems a lot of the new line paint webs up crazy quick. Our 2016 mako is webbing just the same.

Webbing all around. Like Touch said all the new sticks will web up I am guessing. Easton webbing looks ***y!

 

[DFL]

Are these for sale?

 

[BraveSox]

Was it hot after it started webbing? Or is it just a paint issue

 

[phxraida15]

How did it perform?

Are these for sale?

No they are not, not sure when they will be released yet.

Just paint / outer shell barrel compressing maybe more then the others or cheaper paint.

 

[BlueDevil]

Video coming?

 

[Jusrah99]

How did it perform? Better than your 5,271,695,851 hit Kirby?

That bat looks ***ier than a mothasucka

 

[JPG]

What balls did you hit and at what temperature?

67 degrees day 60 degrees night
I have 60 zns and 25 crap asa crap balls.

I put 450 swings on it today. It starting cracking and getting really loud at 300.
Gear change 1.

 

[chrometip78]

Does it come with a big yellow hat?

Took about 300 swings to open up then crack snap pop, it rips.
It's better then my kirby with 450 hits.

Wow. That's impressive. TCT is a winner I do believe

 

[BigDawgz]

Awesome looking bat and cool info on this new bat. thanks for sharing

Hit the Helmer some more tonight and the camera man brings a dead camera. Bat now has 800 swings and it feels great. Easton finally changes gears with there tech. This bat feels nothing like last years bats. It a full on different breed compared to my 2015 kirby.

Amazing bats, I look forward to seeing a lot more eastons on the field for 2016.

If the bat gets any hotter it would be insane. It is all webbed up and smashes the ball. I am curious if it gets hotter? It is already hitting all balls really well with a nice feel and crack to it.

I need to get my hands on a 26oz!!!!! ASAP!!!
