A bit disappointing Jul 09, 2010 By JF "JFW"
I have 2 older models of the Easton Hammer bats, one 34/30, and the other a 33/26. They were both built solidly. But this new SK4 model of Hammer (I bought a 34/28) feels flimsier. If you hold the bat by the handle loosely and let it hang vertically, and knock on the "sweet spot" of the bat, it vibrates for a long time. In case you don't what that means, the vibrations takes away the energy that could've been directed back to the ball which would have driven the ball further. The vibration also causes the "sting" in your palms.

Neither of the 2 older Hammer bats feel as thin-walled as this newer SK4, so you feel you can hit the ball more solidly w/o the sting.

So I won't really recommend this bat unless you just need a cheap bat to throw in the team equipment bag. I definitely would not recommend using this bat for modified fast-pitch ball, the "sting" would be more pronounced.

This bat is not all bad. The good thing about this bat is that its weight is very well-balanced for the more finesse-type hitters, and the handle is thicker vs. the thin handles of the fancier bats for power hitters, this bat's balance weight and thicker handle allow for better control and quicker swing. I just wish it's built tougher.

In comparison, I would recommend the Easton Cyclone model over this, and they are similar in price (maybe $10 more)

awesome bat for 20 bucks Sep 01, 2009 By Shala A. Edmunds "shaydavis"
when you pay 20 dollars for a bat you cant really expect that much, this bat hits better than the 250 dollar bats the people on our team were hitting with.. we love it

Most bat for your money Aug 19, 2009 By S. Mullin
For $20 this bat does anything you can ask of a $20 bat, and more. I bought this bat expecting to use it for line drives and playing small ball, but I decided to give a few big swings and actually hit this further than the $200 bats I was using earlier in the game. I don't know how it will hold up tho as I've only had it for a week. No complaints thus far.

Good Bat for the Price Apr 12, 2009 By Wayne
The Hammer by Easton is a good bat for the price. It is light, easy to swing and the ball jumps off it. You can't beat it for the price.

big sweet spot May 06, 2011 By kirbyinacan
this bat has a large sweet spot, which is great for batting against newer pitchers. great balance and totally inexpensive. Great buy.
