2026 Easton Empire Connell 1-Piece Motherload Bat

The 2026 Easton Empire Connell 1-Piece Motherload SSUSA Senior Slowpitch Softball Bat (ESS6EGC1X) is Greg Connell's signature end-loaded weapon, built for senior hitters who want maximum barrel mass and a true one-piece feel. The Triple Wall Barrel Design stacks three composite walls into a massive 13" barrel for explosive pop, while the stiff 1-Piece Composite construction transfers every ounce of swing energy straight into the ball with no connection point to absorb feedback. Motherload weighting pushes as much mass as possible into the barrel, giving committed senior power hitters the heaviest, most barrel-forward feel in the Empire lineup. Approved for SENIOR and ISA competition.

Greg Connell Signature — Maximum Barrel Mass

Greg Connell is one of senior softball's most accomplished players, and the Motherload configuration reflects his preference for the heaviest, most barrel-loaded feel he can control. The 150 Handle Flex rating keeps the handle firm and direct so all that added barrel mass stays on plane through the zone, while the Power Boost Soft Knob cushions the bottom hand against the extra load on every swing. This is the Empire Connell built specifically for hitters who have the bat speed to handle a true Motherload swing weight.

Triple Wall Barrel — Explosive Pop, 13" Sweet Spot

Three composite walls are engineered to work together, flexing and rebounding in sequence to generate elite trampoline effect across the full 13" barrel. Combined with the stiff, direct energy transfer of a 1-piece composite build, the Triple Wall Barrel gives senior hitters a huge, forgiving sweet spot and consistent exit velocity from the first at-bat through the bottom of the lineup.
