Description

Easton slowpitch softball bats are engineered to the edge of perfection, always have an industry best performance at the plate, and are built to last. The black and gold Fire Flex uses Easton's second generation Flex barrel technology to ensure explosive pop and a solid feel during every at-bat, without the worry of a break-in period. With a re-engineered, new layup that provides 240-250 compression (compared to 260 on the original Flex), this model is hot out of the wrapper and primed for power with a soft barrel. On that barrel end, advanced EXACT carbon is used to deliver exceptional durability that won't let you down. Between the barrel and the 100% composite handle, the patented and proven two-piece ConneXion+ technology has been redesigned, but still guarantees best-in-class feel with a serious reduction in vibration to the hands. Easton: Engineered For Glory!

This Easton Fire Flex Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP18FFGD) features a long 14-inch barrel length, a standard 2 1/4-inch barrel diameter, and a balanced swing weight that's sure to speed up your swing. With three certification stamps just below the barrel, this model is approved for play in USSSA, NSA, and ISA. Flex your fire and pick up one of these Easton slowpitch bats today with free shipping and a full one (1) year manufacturer's warranty. Don't forget, with our 24/7 customer service, we'll be here from click to hit!

Questions and Answers

Have a question about the Easton Fire Flex Gold Balanced USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SP18FFGD? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.

Does this bat need to be hit 170 times before it functions and/or maximizes its power and is ready for game action performance? Bob
Given the composite material of the 2018 Easton Fire Flex Gold Balanced USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SP18FFGD, we do recommend hitting between 150-200 balls before you will see the bat's maximum performance.

Can the bat be returned if it doesn't measure up to expectations after several good players try it out? Dick
Unfortunately Easton does not offer a trial period on the 2018 Easton Fire Flex Gold Balanced USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SP18FFGD so once it is used we would not be able to accept it back for an exchange or refund.

What is the difference between the gold and the pink Fire Flex Balanced Easton bat? sunny_5000
Unfortunately we would not know the difference between the 2018 Easton Fire Flex Gold Balanced USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat: SP18FFGD and the one showing on Easton's website in pink. Easton did make this bat in some different exclusive colorways so that may be what the case is here but for clarification you may want to contact Easton directly.

I'm looking to replace a 27 oz 2016 Easton Bomb Squad Scott Kirby USSSA (SP16SKU). Loved that bat. Would the Fire Flex or the Easton Plague have a similar feel? (We use super grey dots and hot dots). Mitch
Unfortunately, nowadays, no bats are built to show optimal durability with balls that have a compression above 325. Because of that, neither this 2018 Easton Fire Flex Gold Balanced USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP18FFGD) or the Easton Plague will be meant for use with a ball harder than a 325 compression. However, either bat would display great results when it connects with a harder ball. If you are okay with the durability risk, either bat will perform well with those harder balls. In regard to feel, the Plague will have more of an end-load like the Scott Kirby bat, while this Fire Flex is more balanced feeling.
Ben
Can you tell me if this bat is the same as the Fire Flex Octane balanced bat. It seems as though it's just a different look but are they the same specs and features? Or are they different? Thanks. David
As we do not carry the Fire Flex Octane from Easton, I am not quite as familiar with that model, but from everything I've gathered it does seem to appear as virtually the same model. Both bats are two-piece, composite designs with a 14" barrel length, and both have balanced swing weights.
Kyle J.
The description say the handle is 100% composite, so just wondering what that means for flex? Chris
This Easton Fire Flex Gold Balanced USSSA Slow Pitch Softball Bat (SP18FFGD) will allow for a good amount of flex when contacting a softball, due to the connection point on the bat. The connection point, which fuses together the handle and the barrel, will be the piece of the bat that allows for flex. It is my observation that aluminum -or- composite material on the handle doesn't typically lead to a drastic difference in regard to flex at contact with a softball.
