What makes THE DUB different from the Easton Hype and others in the lineup
First Things First: What Is the Easton Dub?
THE DUB is Easton's newest USSSA baseball bat, featuring their iconic Double Barrel technology — the same performance innovation that helped make the Easton Ghost one of the hottest fastpitch bats on the market.
But let’s clear up one thing right now: this isn’t just a repaint of the popular Easton Hype.
Early tech specs suggest this is a brand-new build, not just a cosmetic update. It seems Easton took everything players loved about the Hype and pushed it further — refining the materials, optimizing the barrel response, and tuning the swing weight for better balance and more pop.
Key Technology Breakdown
🔁 Double Barrel Tech
Borrowed from fastpitch but redesigned for baseball, the Double Barrel design promises enhanced trampoline effect and forgiving feel on contact. Think: big sweet spot, fast feedback, serious power.
⚖️ Optimized Swing Weight
Easton is dialing in the swing weight to sit comfortably between balanced and end-loaded, giving hitters the best of both worlds — quick through the zone but with enough heft to drive the ball.
🛠️ All-New Construction
While the Hype was a standout performer, THE DUB introduces all-new materials and structural design, which could mean improved durability, better energy transfer, and more consistent exit velos across the barrel.
Early Takeaways
From what we’ve seen so far, THE DUB is shaping up to be Easton’s flagship USSSA bat for 2025, bringing fastpitch-inspired barrel tech to the baseball world in a way we haven’t seen before. If you’re chasing elite performance and love a two-piece composite with a responsive feel, this is one to watch.
